Aluminum & Steel Fences Built for Bentonville Homes and Businesses
When you choose an aluminum or steel fence, you are investing in security, curb appeal, and low maintenance. At Legendary Fence Company Bentonville, we design and install these fences specifically for Northwest Arkansas conditions, including clay-heavy soil, sloped yards, and the temperature swings our area sees every year.
Customers in Bentonville often come to us looking for a fence that will not rot like wood, will not sag with our soil movement, and will stay attractive for years with minimal upkeep. Aluminum and steel are ideal for that. Powder coated finishes resist fading from the Arkansas sun and do not peel like basic painted metal.
Our team walks your property with you, listens to how you use the space, then recommends aluminum or steel based on your goals. For example, aluminum is popular for residential backyards along Tiger Boulevard and around pools near Rogers because it will not rust and is lighter, which can help with delicate landscaping. Steel, which is stronger and more impact resistant, is often chosen for commercial lots along Walton Boulevard or for driveways where vehicle traffic is close to the fence line.
Every project is measured and planned on site, not guessed from a satellite image. This reduces surprises, keeps your fence on the property line, and helps avoid costly rework later if a neighbor or the city raises a concern.
Design Choices That Fit Your Property and Local Codes
Aluminum and steel fences are far more customizable than many people expect. Legendary Fence Company Bentonville offers multiple panel styles, picket spacing options, and decorative accents that work with Bentonville neighborhood guidelines and pool safety rules.
Common aluminum styles here include flat-top panels for a clean look, pressed spear designs for added security, and 3-rail options that match many newer subdivisions around Bentonville High School and the surrounding area. You can choose standard black, bronze, or white powder coat, and in some cases custom colors that coordinate with your trim or shutters.
For steel fences, we typically use welded steel panels or ornamental steel systems with thicker pickets and rails. These are a good fit for commercial sites, hillside properties, and areas where a fence may get bumped by equipment, like along farm or garden edges in the outskirts of Bentonville.
Picket spacing is another key decision. Closer spacing adds privacy and pet containment, while wider spacing keeps views open toward pasture, woods, or a golf course. Around pools, we always follow Arkansas pool barrier codes, including height requirements and maximum spacing, and we design gate latches so children cannot easily reach or operate them.
If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, we can review your guidelines upfront so your aluminum fence style and color meet community standards. This step prevents delays and helps you avoid fines or forced changes later.
How Our Aluminum & Steel Fence Installation Process Works
A smooth installation starts with planning. When you call Legendary Fence Company Bentonville, we begin with a site visit. We measure each fence line, note slope changes, utilities, and existing landscaping, then confirm your property corners using your survey when available.
Next we stake out the fence line so you can see exactly where the fence will run. This is the time to adjust gate locations for daily use, like trash can access on pickup days or a mower path from the garage to the backyard. We also identify any tree roots, sprinkler lines, or drainage paths that must be protected.
For aluminum and steel fences, we use either driven posts or concrete-set posts depending on soil conditions and fence height. In many parts of Bentonville, the clay soil benefits from deeper post holes and properly mixed concrete to resist frost heave and long term movement. We bell the bottom of the holes when needed so the concrete has a stronger “foot” in soft or disturbed soil.
Once concrete footings are set, we install rails and panels, stepping or racking them to match your slope so there are no large gaps at the bottom of the fence. This is especially important in hilly neighborhoods or on properties that back up to natural drainage areas.
We finish by hanging gates, setting hardware, and double checking that everything swings freely and latches correctly. Before we leave, we walk the fence line with you, confirm you are comfortable operating the gates, and point out any areas where we recommend extra care, such as near newly planted shrubs.
What Affects the Cost of an Aluminum Fence or Steel Fence
Customers often ask why two fences that look similar can have very different prices. At Legendary Fence Company Bentonville, we explain each cost driver so you can make clear choices instead of guessing.
Material type is the first factor. Aluminum is usually more budget friendly for residential projects and does not require rust protection treatments. Steel panels are heavier and stronger, cost more to produce, and may involve additional corrosion protection, which increases the price but also boosts durability and security.
Fence height and design also matter. A 6 foot ornamental fence uses more material than a 4 foot pool fence, and decorative tops or custom picket spacing require additional fabrication. Gates, especially double driveway gates or automated access gates, can be a significant portion of the total cost because they involve extra framing, stronger posts, and more complex hardware.
Site conditions in Bentonville can raise or lower the price. A flat, open backyard with easy truck access is faster to build and therefore less expensive in labor. A steep hillside, rocky ground, or tight side yards close to neighboring homes take more time and can require special footing methods or hand digging.
Finally, permits and HOA requirements may add cost if specific styles, heights, or setbacks are required. We handle permitting within the city of Bentonville when needed and can provide drawings or product data for HOA approval so you do not have to manage that paperwork alone.
Common Local Challenges and How We Solve Them
Bentonville has some specific challenges that affect aluminum and steel fence installation, and planning for them up front leads to a better long term result. Legendary Fence Company Bentonville has installed fences across the city, from tight suburban lots to rural acreage, so we know the patterns to watch for.
One common issue is drainage. Many properties use shallow swales or rock lined channels to move water away from homes. Placing fence posts or concrete in those areas can cause water to back up toward a foundation or erode soil around the fence. We map your drainage paths and either bridge over them with elevated rails or shift post locations so water continues to flow normally.
Soil movement is another concern. Clay soils in Northwest Arkansas can expand and contract through wet and dry seasons. For aluminum and steel fences, this movement can twist posts or pull gates out of alignment if the footings are not designed correctly. We size footings based on fence height and local soil conditions and align gates with stronger hinge posts and brace systems to handle shifting better over time.
Neighbors and property lines sometimes come into play. If you are unsure where your line is, we recommend obtaining a survey or locating corner pins to avoid future disputes. We can set the fence just inside your line where needed and keep the finished side of ornamental fences facing the neighbor or street, which is often preferred in Bentonville neighborhoods.
For customers near busy roads or commercial areas, noise and visibility can be concerns. While aluminum and steel fences are not fully private like solid wood or vinyl, we can recommend designs that pair your metal fence with landscaping for additional screening without losing the strength and long life of metal construction.
Why Work With Legendary Fence Company Bentonville

Our team is local, so we understand Bentonville permitting, typical HOA expectations, and how your fence will stand up to Ozark weather over time. We schedule your project clearly, keep the site as clean as possible each day, and respect your neighbors by minimizing obstruction of shared driveways or streets.
If you are comparing quotes, we are happy to walk through line by line so you know what is included, from post depth to concrete type to hardware quality. That transparency helps you compare more than just the bottom number and ensures you get a durable aluminum or steel fence that fits your property, your budget, and your long term plans.
