40-Year Steel FinishFinished On Both SidesMade In MichiganBolts Together — No Welding20 Years In Metal
The fence problem
  • Wood rots, warps, and needs painting — you'll replace it in 12–15 years.
  • Contractors charge for labor you could do — often half the bill is install.
  • Big-box metal kits are thin and flimsy — and half the parts are missing.
  • Nobody tells you how to actually build it — so you never start.

We fixed all four. A real steel fence, cut to your yard, that arrives complete — with a build plan made for your layout and a real person a text away.

Everything that makes it easy

You're not buying a fence.
You're buying a guaranteed win.

Anyone who's dreaded a DIY project knows the real fear isn't the work — it's getting stuck. So we built the whole system around never letting that happen.

Your Personalized Build Plan

Because you designed it in 3D, we know your exact layout — so your plan shows your post spacing, your part counts, and step-by-step for your yard. Not a generic manual. Yours.

Watch & build

Step-By-Step Video Library

Short clips for every part — setting posts, first panel, corners, gates, trim. Stuck on a step? There's a two-minute video for exactly that.

Never stuck

Text-A-Photo Support

Snap a photo of where you're at, send it, and a real person walks you through the next move. Like having a fence installer in your pocket.

📦
No surprises

Everything In The Crate

Every panel, post, bracket, screw, and cap on your plan is in the crate. No hardware-store runs, no missing-parts weekend-killer. If it's on your plan, it's in the box.

Peace of mind

The Spare Section

Larger orders ship with a free extra 8-ft section — freight's already paid, so it's cheaper to have it than reorder. A spare if anything's off today, and replacement pieces if a car ever finds your fence.

De-risked

Fit, Delivery & 40-Year Promise

Design it with our tool and we guarantee the fit. Arrives damaged? We replace it, no fight. And the finish outlasts a wood fence two to three times over.

Picture it finished

The fence you'll actually
want to sit next to.

Privacy that looks like it belongs in a design magazine — 40-year steel, finished on both sides, and you built it yourself in a weekend.

The real math

Keep the labor.
Keep the difference.

Don't compare us to wood — compare us to a contractor-installed fence. When you build it yourself, the biggest line on the invoice disappears: the labor. That's money that stays in your pocket.

You pocket roughly half the cost of an installed fence.

Made by The Metal Shop

You're buying
factory-direct.

For 20 years, our family has been rolling steel roofing and siding out of our shop in Bellevue, Michigan. Good Neighbor is that same American-made steel — now cut into a fence anyone can build.

Because we manufacture the panels ourselves, there's no middleman and no markup stacked on a reseller's reseller. You order straight from the people who make it, cut to your yard, backed by two decades of doing metal right. That's why we can put a 40-year finish and a fit guarantee in writing — we control every foot of it.

"I've never built anything. The plan had my exact yard on it, and when I got stuck I texted a photo and had an answer in minutes. Looks like a $12,000 fence. I built it in a weekend."

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks

Yes — if you can set a post and run a drill, you can build this. There's no welding and no cutting. Every piece is pre-fabbed and bolts together. You get a build plan made for your exact layout, a video for every step, and you can text a photo any time you're unsure and a real person will talk you through it.

It won't be — everything on your plan is in the crate, checked against your design. And on larger orders we include a free spare 8-ft section, so even in the rare case something's off, you're never stopped. If we ever get it wrong, we fix it free.

That's what the designer is for. You draw your real run — or trace a Google aerial of your property — including every corner and gate. What you design is what we build, and we back the fit with a written guarantee.

It ships flat-packed on a pallet to your driveway, anywhere in the country. Because it's flat steel, freight stays reasonable — and the spare section rides along on freight you've already paid for. Your delivered cost shows before you order.

Compare it to a contractor-installed fence, not to wood. You keep the install labor — usually about half the cost — and the finish lasts two to three times longer than wood with zero maintenance. Over its life, it's the cheaper fence.

Yes — through GreenSky®, a trusted home-improvement lender. It's a fast, paperless application with credit decisions in minutes and limits up to $100,000. Take 0% APR for 24 months to pay it off interest-free, or spread it over up to 120 months for the lowest monthly payment — a $10,000 fence runs about $150/month. No prepayment penalty. Ask about founding-customer pricing while we build our first wall of installs.

Your yard is two minutes from a plan.
