Q: How much does it cost to create a custom metal structure or object?

• <div><p>Costs vary widely, from $500 for small pieces to over $10,000 for large or intricate designs, depending on metal type, fabrication complexity, and labor.</p></div>

Q: What is corrugated metal?

• <div><p>Corrugated metal has been pressed so that it has alternating ridges or grooves. Metal that has undergone this process becomes incredibly strong, with some of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material. It's lightweight and has an increased surface area when compared to a flat sheet of metal. Both of these attributes contribute to its coveted strength. It's used for fencing because it's weather- and impact-resistant, rarely needs maintenance, and lasts many years&mdash;for a relatively low cost. </p></div>

Q: What materials are commonly used in sheet metal repairs?

• <div><p>Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.</p></div>

Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>
