Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from metal fencing in St. Thomas
Panels follow the grade
Sloped properties, curbs, retaining walls, and uneven pavement affect panel layout. Fence sections are stepped or raked so gaps do not open at the bottom.
Infill matches the purpose
Pickets, mesh, sheet, expanded metal, or decorative panels are selected around visibility, privacy, access control, and appearance.
Finish handles weather
Galvanized steel, aluminum, powder coat, or stainless details are chosen around salt, snow, irrigation, and public contact.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your metal fencing with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Metal Fencing
Metal Fencing is custom-fabricated or coordinated for commercial perimeters, compounds, utility areas, yards, access lanes, balconies, and public-facing property edges, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds metal fencing around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using galvanized steel, powder-coat, stainless details, or heavier plate selected around corrosion and traffic exposure, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
- 01 Send your inquiry, drawings, photos, or a description of what you need.
- 02 We come measure and assess the St. Thomas site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your metal fencing to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.
