Chain Link & Ornamental Fencing
Metal Fence Installation in Beaverton & the Portland Metro
Why Homeowners Choose Metal Fencing
Keep Pets Secure
Create a dependable enclosure while maintaining visibility through the fence.
Define a Property Boundary
Establish a clear, durable edge without creating a solid visual wall.
Add Security
Control access to a yard or another part of the property with properly planned fencing and gates.
Improve the Look of a Visible Area
Choose a fence that feels intentional alongside the home, landscaping, entry, or street-facing portions of the property.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link is designed to create a strong physical boundary while keeping the space beyond it visible. Its straightforward construction can make it an effective residential fencing choice when function, durability, and overall project value matter.
Practical does not mean careless. The quality of a chain link fence still depends on the details behind the finished installation. Steadfast designs, builds, and repairs chain link fencing around the actual conditions of your property.
Straight Fence Lines
Careful layout helps the completed fence follow the property cleanly rather than looking uneven or improvised.
Stable Posts
Posts are a fundamental part of how the fence remains aligned and performs over time.
Clean Changes in Grade
Account for slopes and elevation changes rather than treating the line as flat.
Functional Gates
Gate placement, swing, latching, and alignment affect how well the fence works every day.
Thoughtful Transitions
Corners, existing fences, structures, landscaping, and access points all need to work together as part of the finished project.

Ornamental Fencing
Ornamental fencing’s open design creates a defined boundary while allowing the home, lawn, garden, trees, and surrounding landscape to remain visible. Because the fence itself is more visually prominent, proportion, placement, gates, and the relationship to the surrounding property become especially important. A well-planned ornamental fence should look intentional from both sides of the property.
Fence Line
The fence line should make sense with the home.
Gate Design
The gate should feel like part of the design rather than an interruption.
Slopes & Transitions
The installation should follow slopes and transitions cleanly.
Finished Result
The finished project should provide the boundary or security you need without unnecessarily hiding the landscape behind it.

Chain Link vs. Ornamental Fencing
Both options can create a durable, open boundary. The important difference is what you expect the fence to contribute to the property.
How Steadfast Plans a Metal Fence Project
Tell Us What Needs to Change
The project might begin with a dog that needs a secure yard, an aging fence, a gate problem, a property boundary, a security concern, or a part of the property that needs a more finished appearance.
We Walk the Fence Line
We review the actual area where the fence will be built or repaired and identify the conditions that affect the project.
We Explain the Practical Options
If more than one approach could work, we explain the tradeoffs so you can compare them with better information.
We do not assume the most expensive option is automatically the right one.
We Define the Project
Fence layout, access, gates, transitions, existing conditions, and other relevant details are considered before construction begins.
You receive a clear scope based on the property we actually evaluated.
We Build With Care and Communication
We focus on careful workmanship, functional gates, clean alignment, a respectful jobsite, and communication that remains consistent through the project.
Experience and Accountability You Can See

Frequently Asked Metal Fencing Questions
Is Chain Link or Ornamental Fencing Better for Dogs?
Either may work depending on the dog, yard, fence configuration, budget, and appearance you want. Chain link is often a practical choice for continuous enclosure. Ornamental fencing may also be appropriate when maintaining an open, more architectural appearance matters. We evaluate the particular property and containment needs before recommending an approach.
What Does “Ornamental Iron” Mean?
Homeowners often use terms such as ornamental fencing, ornamental metal fencing, and ornamental iron fencing to describe this general fence style. Actual fencing systems and materials can vary. We identify the specific system proposed for your project rather than assuming every fence described as “ornamental iron” is constructed the same way.
How Do I Know Whether My Existing Metal Fence Should Be Repaired or Replaced?
That depends on the condition of the existing fence and the extent of the problem. A localized issue may call for repair, while widespread deterioration, alignment problems, or changes to the way you need the fence to function may make replacement more practical. Steadfast can inspect the existing fence and discuss the available options.
Can Steadfast Replace Only Part of an Existing Fence?
Steadfast performs fence repairs as well as new construction. Whether replacing or repairing only part of a fence makes sense depends on the condition of what is already there and how the new work needs to connect with it. We can evaluate that during the estimate.
What Should I Consider When Planning a Gate?
Think about how the gate will actually be used. Pedestrian access, lawn equipment, yard maintenance, everyday traffic, available swing space, terrain, and the surrounding fence layout can all affect placement and configuration. We consider gate access as part of the overall fence plan rather than treating it as an afterthought.
How Do Trees and Landscaping Affect Fence Installation?
Existing landscaping can influence fence placement, access, transitions, and the practical route of the fence line. We review these conditions on site so they can be considered before the project is defined.
Can Metal Fencing Be Installed on a Sloped Property?
Slopes and grade changes need to be accounted for as part of the design and installation. We review the terrain on site before determining the appropriate approach for the fence line.
Do I Need to Know Exactly Which Fence I Want Before Requesting an Estimate?
No. If you know what you need the fence to accomplish, that is enough to begin the conversation. We can review the property, discuss the practical options, and help you determine which approach makes the most sense.
You Don’t Need to Have the Fence Figured Out Yet
Practical recommendations. Clear communication. Quality construction without shortcuts.
