We especially take pride in always learning new techniques, designs, and utilizing the absolute best technology so that our products are always cutting edge. Whether we are working on a two story spiral staircase or a simple back porch stair rail we make sure it is done right the first time! We offer a wide range of iron work services such as: ◾ ImageCustom and Basic Handrails ◾ Curve and Spiral Rails for Stairways ◾ Iron Gates and Fences ◾ Steel Plates ◾ Structural Steel I-Beams ◾ Plane Structural Steel ◾ Pipe Columns ◾ Old World Style Post ◾ Many, many more of your IRON WORK needs.

I would like to thank you in advance and please consider us regarding ALL your IRON needs. We look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Ramiro From Skyline Metal Fabrication, Inc.

"Skyline Metal Fabrication's attention to detail, flexibility, expert craftsmanship, excellence, and ultimate pursuit of perfection is what immediately comes to mind when I think about my experience with Ramiro, Heather, and crew.  After vetting about 10 local companies for my iron fence project, Skyline was head and shoulders above the competition.  For example, one of the questions I asked all companies was "How much distance would separate each post on this property?"  Until Ramiro, all companies responded with a generic, canned answer.  Ramiro, on the other hand, took out his tape measure and proceeded to measure each side of the property.  He then sat down at my patio table, grabbed a pen and piece of paper, and calculated the exact distance.  To the inch.  In addition, he explained that this distance would vary based on the fence height, picket thickness overall weight of each section, and other factors (our fence is 6").  He also shared in detail the nature of designing an iron fence and discussed the endless options available, giving my wife and I great ideas for our project.  I knew then and there Skyline was hired before the quote arrived.  Needless to say, we will be hiring Skyline for future projects and can't recommend them enough.   "

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence, ranging in cost and ease of installation. Sandbags are one solution, but may not hold up if you have inclement weather with strong winds. Spike and bolts are another alternative. While they’re inexpensive and easy to install, it can be difficult if your ground is too soft for in-ground drilling. Wind braces are another option—be sure to bolt these into the ground as well. While they can withstand turbulent wind, they can also be difficult to install if the ground is too soft.

When comparing fence post foam versus concrete, concrete is considered more durable and stronger. Concrete is a stronger material that can handle larger amounts of weight, making it a good choice for load-bearing posts. For posts on smaller fences or fences made with lighter materials, like vinyl or wire mesh, post foam is a good choice.

While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they’re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. 

The best type truly depends on the purpose of your fencing. Whether you need it for added security, safety for children and animals, or keeping pests out of your garden area will determine which temporary fencing works best for you. Once you understand its purpose, you can select the most durable, cost-effective material for your yard’s size and project.
