Custom Aluminum Fence, Hand Rails, and Gates for Hummel Construction

Hummel Construction contacted us to discuss a project requiring custom aluminum fence panels, handrails, and gates for a newly built home in Fontana, WI. They requested an on-site meeting with the homeowners and the general contractor to discuss design ideas and material options. The goal was to create a functional and visually appealing installation that would provide safety and security while complementing the home’s overall aesthetic.

Design and Planning

After meeting with the homeowners and general contractor, it was clear they wanted a unique design that would stand out while offering durability. To move forward, we provided a detailed quote along with shop drawings based on the discussion. These drawings outlined the specifications, dimensions, and materials needed for the project, ensuring the final product met the homeowners’ expectations.

Fabrication and Installation Process

The metal fabrication process involved cutting, welding, and shaping aluminum components to create the custom fence panels, handrails, and gates. Each piece was crafted using an aluminum MIG welder, TIG welder, automated band saw, hydraulic roller, and other precision tools for strength and long-term performance.
Installation required careful planning due to site restrictions. Since there was no access for heavy machinery, all fence post holes were hand-augered. Each post was then set in concrete to provide a solid foundation. After fabrication, all components were powder-coated in black or white to enhance durability and resist wear from the elements.

Project Timeline and Challenges

Due to the project’s complexity and coordination with other contractors, the work was completed in phases spanning 12 months. While waiting for different parts of the home construction to be completed, we adjusted our schedule to install each section at the right time. Despite the challenges, including limited post-install equipment access, we completed the project efficiently while maintaining high-quality standards.

Final Results

The homeowners were extremely happy with the finished product, appreciating the final installation’s craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. Their new home was fully functional inside and out, with the custom aluminum fence, handrails, and gates in place, offering safety for their family and pets.

The combination of strong materials, precise fabrication, and expert installation resulted in a long-lasting solution that met both the practical and design needs of the homeowners. This project highlights the attention to detail and high standards in every custom fabrication job handled by R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication.
