CHEHALIS, WA – September 22, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Homeowners across Lewis and Thurston counties who want a privacy fence that looks less like plastic than vinyl and costs less to install than wood now have another material to consider. PNW Fence & Gate has added a corrugated steel fencing option to its lineup this year, bringing a material long valued for its durability on commercial and agricultural buildings to residential yards.
PNW Fence & Gate is a family-run fence and gate contractor based in Chehalis that serves residential, agricultural and small commercial properties across 13 cities in Lewis and Thurston counties. Owner Tallon Ball, a welder by trade, built the company’s name on custom-cut cedar and American-made vinyl fencing before introducing steel fencing this year. The company holds a 5.0 rating on Google and backs its labor with a two-year workmanship warranty for every installation.
The steel panels are corrugated, meaning the sheets are pressed into a rigid pattern that adds rigidity without adding weight, the same profile used on metal building siding and roofing. PNW Fence & Gate powder-coats each panel to resist rust and fading, then sets it into the same steel-post framework the company already uses on its cedar and vinyl fences rather than the wood posts that can rot or shift in wet Pacific Northwest soil. The finished fence installs for less than a comparable vinyl installation, according to the company, and does not require the periodic staining that a wood fence does. Because the panels are solid rather than slatted, they block sightlines the same way wood or vinyl privacy fencing does, without the seams where wind can catch a lighter panel.
Ball said the steel option resulted from repeated requests from homeowners who disliked the look of vinyl but did not want the cost or upkeep of a wood fence. The company cuts and fits panels to each property instead of selling them as a fixed-length kit, so an uneven lot line or a sloped yard does not leave a gap under the fence. It has completed a small number of steel installations so far and plans to expand the offering as more properties in its service area request it. Ball said the same crew that fabricates the company’s custom gates in its Chehalis shop cuts and fits the panels, rather than a separate outside supplier.
The addition comes as Lewis County continues to draw new residents, including families relocating from the Seattle area for more affordable rural properties, often on land where an older wooden or chain-link fence is nearing the end of its service life. The company also works on agricultural and small commercial properties in the region, and Ball said the material has drawn interest from property owners who wanted the look of a solid fence without the price of ornamental iron or the upkeep that comes with wood.”Vinyl privacy fencing looks fine at first, but plenty of customers come back years later saying it has warped, faded or cracked,” said Tallon Ball, owner of PNW Fence & Gate. Ball added, “Steel does not do that, and it costs less to install than vinyl, which is part of why we started offering it this year.”
