Custom Fence Design and Fabrication

When standard products won’t work, our Phoenix fabrication shop builds custom gates, panels, railings, and architectural metalwork to your exact specifications.

Custom Metal Fabrication in Phoenix

Some projects require more than catalog products. Unusual dimensions, unique designs, historic replicas, or proprietary specifications demand custom fabrication. Our in house shop handles steel, aluminum, and specialty metals with full welding, cutting, forming, and finishing capabilities. From CAD design through powder coated finish, we control every step to deliver precisely what your project needs.

Custom Fabrication Capabilities

Full service metal fabrication for commercial fencing and architectural applications.

CAD Design and Shop Drawings

We work from architect sketches, photos, or verbal descriptions. Our designers produce detailed AutoCAD drawings showing dimensions, materials, and finishes. These become shop drawings for GC submittals and your approval before fabrication begins.

Certified Welding

Our welders hold AWS certifications for structural and ornamental work. We weld steel, aluminum, and stainless using MIG, TIG, and stick processes depending on material and application requirements.

CNC Plasma and Laser Cutting

Complex shapes, logos, and decorative cutouts are programmed and cut with precision. Computer controlled cutting ensures repeatability across large production runs and matches CAD drawings exactly.

Metal Forming and Bending

Curved panels, rolled pipe, and formed shapes add architectural interest. Our brake presses and rolling equipment handle various profiles and radii for custom applications.

Powder Coating Facility

In house powder coating means faster turnarounds and color control. We apply architectural grade coatings rated for Arizona UV exposure. Standard colors ship faster, custom RAL matching available with longer lead times.

Matching and Replication

Need to match existing architectural elements or replicate historic originals? We can copy patterns, profiles, and finishes. Bring us a sample or detailed photos and we’ll produce matching components.

The Western Fence Advantage for Custom Work

Many fence contractors outsource custom fabrication. We don’t. Our Phoenix shop gives us complete control over quality, timing, and cost. If something needs modification, we handle it immediately without waiting on third parties. This control is why general contractors and architects come to us for complex projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Fabrication FAQs

Common questions about custom metalwork, design, and fabrication for commercial projects.
What information do you need to start a custom project?
As much as you have. Architect drawings are great, but we also work from sketches, photos, verbal descriptions, or existing samples. We’ll ask questions to fill in gaps and produce drawings for your approval before fabrication.
Can you produce shop drawings for GC submittals?
Yes. Our CAD team produces detailed drawings showing dimensions, materials, finishes, and installation details. We include the specifications and certifications needed for formal submittal packages.
What metals do you work with?
Primarily steel and aluminum for fencing applications. We also work with stainless steel for corrosive environments and specialty materials when specified. Let us know your requirements and we’ll confirm capabilities.
How long does custom fabrication take?
Timelines depend on complexity and quantity. Simple custom gates might take 2 to 3 weeks. Large architectural installations with custom finishes can take 6 to 8 weeks. We provide realistic schedules during quoting.
Can you match our existing architectural elements?
We excel at matching existing patterns, profiles, and finishes. Bring us a sample section or detailed photos. We’ll analyze the design and produce components that blend with your current installation.
Is custom fabrication much more expensive than standard products?
It depends on complexity. Simple size modifications add minimal cost. Intricate decorative work or complex engineering increases price significantly. We provide detailed quotes so you can make informed decisions.
Can you create prototypes before full production?
Yes. For complex or high visibility projects, we recommend producing a sample section for approval before committing to full fabrication. This catches any issues early and ensures the final product meets expectations.
What finishes are available for custom work?
Powder coating is standard with hundreds of color options and textures available. We also offer hot dip galvanizing for maximum corrosion protection, and specialty finishes like patina treatments when specified.
Do you handle installation of custom fabricated items?
Absolutely. Our fabricators and installers work together throughout the project. This coordination ensures what we build installs properly. We don’t just ship products and walk away.
Can field conditions require fabrication changes?
Sometimes. Site conditions occasionally differ from drawings. Our local shop can modify components quickly without waiting for outside vendors. This flexibility prevents field problems from becoming schedule delays.
