Why Steel Fencing Works

Steel fencing is built to last. Properly installed, it can hold up for decades with minimal upkeep, making the upfront investment more cost-effective over time. The four core reasons Westminster property owners choose steel:

Durability: Steel can resist impact, weathering, and warping far better than wood or vinyl, staying structurally sound through Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles and wind events.
Security: As a perimeter security fencing material, steel can be difficult to breach and can act as a strong deterrent to unauthorized entry on both residential and commercial sites.
Low Maintenance: Routine inspections and a fresh rust-resistant coating every few years are typically all that’s needed to keep a steel fence performing at its best.
Environmentally Friendly: Steel is a recyclable material. At the end of its long service life, it can be repurposed rather than sent to a landfill.

Every steel fence we install is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty, which reflects our confidence in the materials we select and the precision of every installation our team completes.

Ornamental Fencing vs. Enhanced Security Measures

Steel fencing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The style you choose shapes how your fence looks, how it functions, and how it interacts with Westminster’s fence classifications. We offer two main steel fencing categories, and the right fit depends on where the fence sits on your property and what it needs to do.

Ornamental Fencing
Ornamental fencing uses an open, decorative design that frames a property without blocking sightlines. It’s a common choice for front yards, entry gates, and areas where visual presence matters as much as containment. Because ornamental iron fencing is more than 50 percent open, it may also qualify for a taller height allowance in Westminster’s front yard zones under the city’s fence classification rules.

Enhanced Security Measures
Enhanced security measures prioritize perimeter control. These steel fencing configurations are well suited to commercial properties, rear yards, and sites where deterring unauthorized access is the primary goal. Post depth, alignment, and panel design all factor into long-term stability, particularly in the high-wind conditions the Westminster, CO, area can see.

Westminster Fence Code: What Steel Fencing Owners Need to Know

Westminster, Colorado, is a home rule city that spans both Adams County and Jefferson County. The city’s Municipal Code classifies fences into five classes and sets distinct height limits depending on where on your lot the fence sits and what zoning district applies. Understanding these rules before installation can help prevent costly corrections later.

Westminster’s Five Fence Classifications

The city’s classification system organizes fences into: masonry walls, ornamental iron, woven wire, fences more than 50 percent open, and fences less than 50 percent open. Steel fencing falls primarily into the ornamental iron category (Class 2), though some configurations may be classified differently depending on panel openness.

Height Limits by Yard Location

In front of the required front setback: Any fence class is limited to 36 inches. Class 2 (ornamental iron) and Class 3 (woven wire) fences that are more than 50 percent open may reach 42 inches.
Side yards not projecting beyond the front building line, and rear yards: Any fence class may reach six feet in height.
Industrial districts: Fences in required front yards may not exceed six feet; fences elsewhere on the property may be of any height.

Prohibited Fence Types and Sight-Triangle Rules

Barbed wire and other sharp-pointed fencing are prohibited in Westminster unless specifically approved on an Official or Preliminary Development Plan. When approved, such fencing must be installed at least six feet above grade. Electrically charged fences are not permitted under any circumstance. All fences must also comply with the city’s intersection sight-distance standards, meaning no fence can obstruct a motorist’s line of sight near driveways or intersections.

HOA Covenants

Because Westminster properties may be located in either Adams County or Jefferson County, HOA covenants are recorded with the applicable county’s clerk and recorder. Approval requirements vary by community and apply separately from the city’s fence code. We recommend confirming your HOA’s rules before finalizing a fence design.
