corrugated metal for fencing?
saw some and really like the look, here is a pic, NOT of what I saw.
but to give you an idea.
looking for ideas to make it look nice/ rustic.

plans are to use angle iron frame, with some kind of trim , looking for some ideas on dressing it up.

It would look nice with a weathered look on the frame. Almost like rust but not rust.

I know the roofing material looks "like" that, but is twelve foot long and about 4 foot wide. That is a cool idea.

wow that hurts! (thinking)

maybe orange\ brown (rusty looking) frame,
natural metal for fence, it'll be 4ft high,
it's available from home depot, I'd have to cut it
into 4 ft sections.
maybe a strap/ bar across the middle?
or do hicky's for decoration?
we want to use it as wind break as well as privacy fence,
yea ,I know, privacy from what?

We order metal roof panels all the time in varying length. I never thought of using them as a privacy fence, but thats a great idea and would make a great wind screen. You can also get them with painted surfaces that come with I believe a 35 year paint warranty. Galvalume will last a lot longer than just galvanized panels.

I'm finding 29ga, 26 in wide (24 useable) 1/2in ribs(high) and 2.5 spacing on ribs. for $1.42 a ft- any length up to 40 ft,
I'm thinking 6ft for privacy fence, ( 20ft ) then 4 ft for remaining area about 40 ft.
then 16 ft x6 ft for my gate,
I'll use 1 1/2 " angle iron for frame, will weld up frame work.' then install the frame, and install panels after frame is in and painted.
now to afford it! LOL

Get 26 ga if you can find it, you will thank me later.

 

[cruzn57]

between 26 and 29 ga?
I know my garage roof was 26 ga , but its on 1/2 sheeting.
this will be with no backing, but 4 ft span,
so your saying the 29 will possibly bend/flex?
I'll look at what they offer
Thanks!

26 ga is a lot stiffer and with the wind you have at times, I think it would be worth the extra cost...just my 2 cts.
