Some Things Have to Be Built From Scratch
VHS Outdoor Living fabricates and installs custom metal elements for outdoor projects across San Antonio, Boerne, Helotes, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and surrounding communities. Our work includes custom metal fencing and gates, Corten steel planters, decorative screens, and structural metalwork. We also design and install aluminum pergolas and shade structures.
Forged for the Outdoors
Some spaces call for something made specifically for them. A fence may need to follow the grade of the property. A gate has to fit the opening correctly. A planter may need a particular height or shape to work with the landscape around it.
Custom fabrication gives us control over those details. We can adjust dimensions, profiles, spacing, and finishes to suit the property rather than trying to make a standard product fit.
Outdoor metal also needs the right finish. We select materials and finishes with South Texas sun, heat, and moisture in mind, along with how much maintenance you want to take on.
Built to Grow
Metal Fabrication for South Texas Yards.
Steel and iron fencing fabricated for the property, including modern horizontal designs, open fencing, privacy applications, and custom panels. We plan the height, spacing, profile, and finish around the house and surrounding landscape.
Metal Fencing
Aluminum pergolas provide shade and structure with very little ongoing maintenance. They're a good fit for homeowners who want clean lines and an outdoor structure that won't need the staining or sealing of wood.
Aluminum Pergolas
Custom gates fabricated to fit specific openings and designed to match the fencing and architecture of the property. Driveway gates, pedestrian entry gates, and garden gates. Manual and automated operator compatible.
Iron and Steel Gates
Custom metal screens for privacy, shade, and visual interest. Laser cut patterns, solid panels, and custom designs. Used as privacy screens between outdoor spaces, decorative elements on walls and fences, and architectural features on pergolas and shade structures.
Decorative Screens
Corten steel develops its rust-colored patina naturally over time, giving planters a warm, weathered finish that works especially well against stone, concrete, and planting. We fabricate planters in custom sizes and profiles for the space.
Corten Steel Planters
Can you fabricate something from a sketch or drawing? Yes. We work from client sketches, architectural drawings, and reference photos. The more specific the input the better, but we can develop a design from a rough idea during the consultation if you know what you want but don't have drawings.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Is aluminum a good material for a pergola in San Antonio? Yes. Aluminum is a good option for homeowners who want a clean, finished structure with very little ongoing maintenance. It won't rot or rust and doesn't require the periodic staining or sealing that wood does.
How do you finish metal elements for outdoor use? Yes powder coating is the a great finish for outdoor metal work. It's more durable than paint for outdoor applications and holds up better against UV, heat, and humidity. We specify the right finish for the application and the climate.
