Montage ornamental aluminum fence installation in Central Iowa
Montage ornamental aluminum fencing is one of the most popular fence choices in the Des Moines area for homeowners who want the classic look of wrought iron without the maintenance. Aluminum doesn't rust — ever. It holds its finish through Iowa winters, spring rain, and summer heat without chipping, peeling, or corroding.
Montage aluminum fence panels are powder coated for a durable, long-lasting finish and come in black as the standard color. The result is a clean, elegant fence that frames your yard, defines your property line, and boosts curb appeal immediately.
Flat top aluminum fence
The flat top style is a clean, modern take on traditional ornamental fencing. The pickets sit flush at the top rail for a smooth, uniform look across the entire fence line. It's a great option for front yards, pool enclosures, and properties where you want an open, decorative fence with a contemporary edge. Flat top aluminum is one of the most popular ornamental styles we install in Ankeny, Johnston, and West Des Moines.

With proper care, an iron fence installed by Fence America will last for generations. It's a long-term investment in your property that holds its value and its looks.
Frequently asked questions — ornamental fence installation in Iowa
What's the difference between ornamental aluminum and ornamental iron?
Aluminum is lighter, completely rust-proof, and requires virtually no maintenance — it's the most popular choice for residential ornamental fencing in the Des Moines area. Iron is heavier, has a more substantial traditional look, and is a stronger physical barrier, but it requires occasional maintenance to prevent rust. Both are available in flat top and spear top styles through Montage.
How much does ornamental fencing cost in Des Moines?
Ornamental aluminum and iron fence pricing depends on the style, height, and linear footage of your project. Iron is typically priced higher than aluminum. Call us at (515) 446-9270 for a free on-site quote — we'll measure your yard and give you a clear number with no surprises.
Does ornamental aluminum fence rust?
No. Aluminum does not rust. It's one of the biggest advantages of aluminum over iron for Iowa homeowners — no rust, no painting, no corrosion regardless of how many wet springs or salty winters your fence sees.
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.
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 something we handle as a standard part of every install.
