Montage ornamental aluminum fencing is among the top choices for homeowners in the Des Moines area who desire the classic aesthetic of wrought iron without the upkeep. One significant advantage of aluminum is that it never rusts. It maintains its finish effortlessly through the harsh Iowa winters, spring rain, and summer heat without chipping, peeling, or corroding. For those considering aluminum fence installation, Montage aluminum fence panels offer a powder-coated, durable finish, typically available in black. This results in a clean, elegant fence that not only frames your yard and defines your property line but also enhances curb appeal immediately. Additionally, should you need fence repair services, these panels provide a robust solution that stands the test of time, standing alongside traditional ornamental iron fencing in terms of style and reliability.

The flat top style represents a clean, modern interpretation of traditional ornamental iron fencing. With pickets that sit flush at the top rail, this design offers a smooth, uniform appearance along the entire fence line. It is an excellent choice for front yards, pool enclosures, and properties where you desire an open, decorative fence with a contemporary edge. Our aluminum fence installation is particularly popular in Ankeny, Johnston, and West Des Moines, and we also provide reliable fence repair services to maintain its integrity.

For homeowners seeking the authentic weight and traditional character of wrought iron fencing, Fence America specializes in installing ornamental iron fencing throughout the Des Moines metro. Unlike aluminum fence installation, which lacks the presence and solidity of iron, our Montage ornamental iron fence features thicker pickets, heavier rails, and an enduring look that signifies permanence.
Constructed with quality steel and finished with a protective powder coat, this iron fencing resists rust and corrosion. With regular maintenance, an iron fence from Fence America will stand strong for generations, making it a valuable long-term investment for your property that retains both its value and aesthetic appeal. We also offer reliable fence repair services to ensure your investment remains in top condition.

What's the difference between ornamental aluminum and ornamental iron fencing? Aluminum is lighter, completely rust-proof, and requires virtually no maintenance — making it the most popular choice for residential ornamental aluminum fence installation in the Des Moines area. In contrast, iron is heavier, has a more substantial traditional look, and serves as a stronger physical barrier, but it requires occasional maintenance to prevent rust. Both options are available in flat top and spear top styles through Montage.
How much does ornamental fencing cost in Des Moines? The pricing for ornamental aluminum and iron fencing depends on the style, height, and linear footage of your project.

Does ornamental aluminum fence rust? No, aluminum does not rust. This is one of the biggest advantages of aluminum over iron for Iowa homeowners — no rust, no painting, and no corrosion, regardless of how many wet springs or salty winters your fence encounters.
Do I need a permit for an ornamental fence in Ankeny or Des Moines? Yes, most cities in the Des Moines metro require a permit for fence installation. Fence America handles the permit process for you as part of every project — residential or commercial, including aluminum fence installation and fence repair services.
Can ornamental fencing be installed on sloped ground? Yes. Montage ornamental fence panels are rackable, meaning they can follow the slope of your yard for a clean, consistent look even on uneven terrain. This is common on many Central Iowa properties, and we handle it as a standard part of every install.
