What Is Corrugated Metal Fencing?
Corrugated metal fencing (also referred to as corrugated tin fencing or corrugated steel fencing) uses ribbed metal panels – typically galvanized or powder-coated steel – mounted between square steel posts to create a solid, private fence.
The corrugated profile gives the panels their strength, while the powder-coat finish delivers the colour and weather resistance.
It’s a particularly popular choice in the Okanagan and Shuswap because it handles hot summers and cold winters equally well – and it never rots, warps, or needs painting.

Corrugated Metal Fencing Cost & Pricing
Corrugated metal fencing starts at approximately $50 per linear foot, fully installed. Vertical panel installations carry an additional cost due to the bottom channel requirements involved.
The final price of your fence will vary based on a number of factors: total fence length, height, post size, panel orientation, colour selection, site conditions, and any gates or custom work required. Because every job is different, we always recommend getting a proper quote before budgeting.
Corrugated Metal Fencing FAQ
-
How much does corrugated metal fencing cost in BC?

-
How long does corrugated metal fencing last?
Corrugated metal fencing is one of the longest-lasting fence types available. Steel panels with a quality powder-coat finish will typically last 20–30+ years with virtually no maintenance. Unlike wood fencing, corrugated metal won't rot, warp, or be damaged by insects. The longevity advantage over wood is one of the main reasons it's become so popular in the Okanagan.
-
Does corrugated metal fencing require maintenance?
Corrugated metal fencing requires essentially zero ongoing maintenance. There's no painting, staining, sealing, or replacing of rotted boards. An occasional rinse to remove dust or debris is all most homeowners ever do. This makes it particularly appealing in the Okanagan and Shuswap, where UV exposure and seasonal temperature swings can be hard on materials like wood.
-
Will corrugated metal fencing hold up in Okanagan winters?
Yes. Corrugated metal fencing handles the Okanagan's seasonal weather very well. The steel panels and posts won't be damaged by freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, or the region's intense summer heat. We use Westform Metal panels that are manufactured in Canada specifically for Canadian climate conditions.
-
Can corrugated metal fencing be installed on a slope?
Yes, corrugated metal fencing can be installed on sloped properties. Depending on the degree of slope, we'll typically use either a stepped installation (where fence sections drop in increments) or a raked installation. We'll assess your site and recommend the best approach during your free quote.
-
Do I need a permit for a corrugated metal fence in Vernon or Salmon Arm?
Permit requirements for fences vary by municipality and depend on factors like fence height and location on your property. In many cases, fences under a certain height do not require a permit, but this can differ between Vernon, Salmon Arm, and other communities in the region. We recommend checking with your local municipality before starting your project — or ask us and we'll point you in the right direction.
-
What brand of corrugated metal fencing does Accurate Fence use?
We exclusively use Westform Metal panels — a product that is fully manufactured in Canada. We chose Westform for the quality of their product and because Canadian-made panels are built for Canadian weather conditions. You won't find us importing lower-quality offshore panels to cut costs.

What's the difference between corrugated metal fencing and other privacy fences?
Compared to wood privacy fencing, corrugated metal fencing is significantly lower maintenance, more durable, and longer-lasting. Compared to vinyl fencing, it offers a more modern industrial aesthetic and is available in solid black — the only fence type that delivers true full privacy in a genuine black finish. Corrugated metal also holds up better under UV exposure than vinyl can in the intense Okanagan sun.
