We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor-quality fence materials available that will not last. We don't use them. There are also very inexperienced, unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.
Fences must stand up to Columbus Ohio's high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to beautify your home and protect the people you care about.
We understand for homeowners in Columbus Ohio - you want a great fence and you don't want to wait forever to get it! Generally, it only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Columbus Ohio - to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire residential fence project.
Once you approve the estimate, we can often install residential fences in most of Columbus Ohio within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office of your specific project. There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.
There are “other” things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you selected a fencing material, style, color, or options that need to be special ordered; that will often delay the installation of your fence. These materials come from various manufacturers and are beyond our control. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

There are many benefits to installing a gate on your property, including increased security, privacy, and curb appeal. A gate can help deter intruders and unwanted visitors, as well as provide a barrier to keep children and pets safely contained. It can also enhance the aesthetics of your property and add value to your home.
Regular maintenance is important to ensure that your residential fence gate remains in good working order and retains its aesthetic appeal. Depending on the materials your gate is constructed out of, your gate may require different products and maintenance practices to keep your gate in working order. This may include cleaning the gate's surface, lubricating moving parts, and repairing any damage or wear and tear. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and to work with a qualified fence company for upgrades.
We can use any material that we carry, including wood, wrought iron, pipe, and chain link to create your fence gate to your specifications. We can create a variety of gates, from highly customized creations to standard residential fence gates. With over 40 years of experience, we have installed numerous residential gates throughout the Columbus Ohio area.
Absolutely! We know that some of our customers need double gates for easy passage of lawn equipment, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, and other large vehicles. Our friendly staff can help you design your fence and gates to make sure they're functional and secure to meet your needs.
We sure can! The pros at Bowden Fence can walk you through the design and selection process so that we can install the proper gates to accommodate your needs.
Here are some typical gate options you will need to consider for a new fence installation:
Many of our residential clients choose to have more than one gate for various reasons. You may want to consider more than one gate to allow for extra access points to your property, or you might also need a separate, wider entry point for automobiles, recreational vehicles, access for lawn care equipment, or for leisure activities.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is rust and corrosion resistant, naturally. In addition, our professional quality aluminum fencing has been factory treated to further prevent rust and corrosion, while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional mild rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!
Our aluminum fences are powder coated at the factory. A powder-coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing in the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Columbus Ohio property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. No stress. We ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for both residential and commercial applications.
Yes, they do!
Our aluminum fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminum fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty - ensuring that all aluminum fencing materials and powder-coated finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course we will guide you through these important details to make sure you get the best warranty available.
We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship! We earn our outstanding reputation in Columbus Ohio - one happy customer at a time.
Whether you need a residential aluminum fence or a commercial-grade aluminum fence, it generally only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Columbus Ohio - to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire aluminum fence project.

There are "other" things that can delay the start of a fencing project.

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Aluminum fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates ... the total number of aluminum fence sections is a factor in this pricing. So, "price per linear foot" is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished aluminum fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, "price per linear foot" is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Columbus Ohio area use!
There are many small fence companies in Columbus Ohio that install aluminum fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be - which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.
Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty - because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured aluminum fencing contractor:
The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your aluminum fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is fairly common.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for aluminum fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about aluminum fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing aluminum fences in the Columbus Ohio area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.
At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your aluminum fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly, so it's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Ornamental steel fencing is a great option for properties of all shapes and sizes in the North Ohio area. It is a very strong material that creates a high level of security with an unmatched elegant design. If your priorities are design and strength, ornamental steel is a perfect solution for any home or business.
Ornamental steel fencing is one of the more costly types of fencing in the North Ohio area due to the weight and strength of the metal and the craftsmanship it takes to build. When you are in the market for a new fence, speak to our fence professionals who can help you get a quote for whichever types of fencing you're looking for and help you find the perfect fit for your goals and your budget.
As far as earth-friendly fences go, ornamental steel fences are a great choice. The metal is easy to maintain, long-lasting, and recyclable if you need to in the future. All of these factors contribute to it being a very eco-friendly type of fence to install at your North Ohio area property.
Ornamental steel fences are built to last a lifetime at your North Ohio area property! Throughout history, you can still find ironwork that has stood for centuries, and it's no surprise why with the solid, durable metal it is crafted from. Certain factors like climate, maintenance, and protective coating all impact the longevity of your ornamental steel fence, but regardless, you can be sure that your fence will stand strong for many, many years.
Ornamental steel fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your North Ohio property. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues. Keeping your ornamental steel free of dents will help prevent rust, so avoid using lawn trimmers too close to your fence or planting bushes too close to your fence, which can hide problems if they arise. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental steel fence should need no cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.
The overall strength of ornamental steel fences in North Ohio varies based on the thickness of the fence posts and pickets as well as the post depth and fence height. Steel fences are more durable than most other forms of fencing because carbon is added to the iron, which helps an ornamental iron/steel fence survive the elements and other possible harm.
One of the best features of ornamental steel fences is that it is resistant to rust and corrosion. The engineering of the metal and the protective coating that it comes with helps to ensure a long-lasting product with very little maintenance needed and no peeling or chipping.

Installing a commercial gate offers several benefits, including enhanced security, controlled access, increased privacy, and improved aesthetics. A commercial gate acts as a physical barrier, preventing unauthorized entry and providing a secure environment for your business. It also allows you to control who enters your property, ensuring only authorized personnel or visitors gain access.
We offer several types of commercial gates, including swing gates, sliding gates, vertical pivot gates, and vertical lift gates. Swing gates open inward or outward like a door, sliding gates move horizontally along a track, and vertical lift gates rise vertically. Each type has its advantages and suitability based on your specific needs and available space.
Yes, commercial gates can be automated for added convenience and security. By installing a gate operator and access control system, you can easily open and close your gate with the push of a button, a keypad entry, a card reader, or through a smartphone app. Automation allows for seamless access control and eliminates the need for manual operation.
The cost of a commercial gate installation can vary significantly depending on factors such as the type of gate, the materials used, the size of the gate, and any additional features. It's difficult to provide a definitive estimate for your Columbus Ohio commercial gate until we gather up all the details of your project. Reach out to our team to receive a free comprehensive estimate.
