Dura Fence is powder-coated steel — it gives you the same clean ornamental look as aluminum, with more strength and a lower cost per foot. For most inland Tampa properties it's the better value of the two.
| Typical yard | Installed estimate |
|---|---|
| 100 ft | $1,950 – $2,300 |
| 150 ft | $2,450 – $2,850 |
| 200 ft | $3,150 – $3,700 |
| 250 ft | $3,900 – $4,550 |
| 300 ft | $4,650 – $5,450 |
Estimates include one walk gate and assume a standard, level run. Tear-out of an old fence, drive gates, slopes, and corner-heavy layouts are priced separately. Your exact number depends on your actual property line — the tool below measures it from county records.
Enter your address and we'll pull your real lot lines from county records, draw the fence on a satellite photo of your property, and price it — then you can book a free on-site measure.
Steel is a denser, stiffer material, so a steel panel takes an impact that would bend aluminum. It's also the lowest per-foot price of any ornamental option we install. If you want the wrought-iron look on a budget, this is the one.
Steel's one weakness is corrosion, and the entire answer is the powder coating — baked on, sealing the metal from moisture. Intact, it holds up well across Tampa Bay. The place to think twice is directly on the coast: constant salt spray is harder on coated steel than on aluminum, and if you're right on the water, aluminum is the safer specification even at the higher price.
Front yards, boundary and garden fencing, security applications, and pool enclosures where code allows. It takes the same flat-top and spear-top styling as aluminum, so visually you're not giving anything up.
It's heavier to work with, and a deep scratch that reaches bare metal needs touching up rather than ignoring — on aluminum you could leave it. No privacy, same as aluminum. And if your property is oceanfront or bayfront, we'll usually steer you to aluminum instead, even though it costs us the cheaper sale.
It's the powder-coated steel ornamental fence line we install — the same visual style as aluminum ornamental fencing, built in steel for greater strength and a lower cost per foot.
Not while the powder coating is intact — that coating is what keeps moisture off the metal. Deep scratches should be touched up. Directly on saltwater, aluminum is the more durable choice.
Both can be built to Florida pool code. Steel costs less and is stronger; aluminum is completely immune to rust and is the better call for coastal properties. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your site.
