Family owned. Built on doing it right.

Right Metal Fencing has delivered fencing, gates and physical security across Western Australia since 2004.

Our story

Three generations of doing it right

Right Metal Fencing started in 2004 as Right Metal Products, when Alan and his son Paul started out of Alan's factory in Canning Vale. They began small, making Garrison panels and other repeat products for other fencing companies, before imported panels were common. From there they moved into their own projects and grew into a full fencing contractor.

In 2019 Paul took over the business and it became Right Metal Fencing, and in 2020 we moved into our own workshop and yard at 14 Garnet Way, Maddington. Today Paul and his son Dakota lead a team that designs, fabricates, installs and maintains fencing, gates and physical security for commercial clients, schools and local government right across WA.

The philosophy hasn't changed since that first workshop: do it once, do it right.

Our approach

Do it once, do it right

What that means on every project we deliver.

End-to-end services

Drafting, safety, project administration, fabrication, installation, maintenance, and site and project management, all managed in-house.

In-house manufacturing

Our own fabrication team gives us control over quality and lead times, and the flexibility to adapt to changing programmes.

Quality materials

Materials that meet or exceed the specified steel grades, coatings and sizes. We use UK or Australian-made palisade.

Enhanced powder coating

Pre-treatment, priming and powder coat for a finish that lasts, a step often skipped in the industry.

Site management

A dedicated site manager focused on progress, safety and quality, with defect inspections and checklists for a defect-free handover.

Managed installation

Our installation teams are led by experienced team leads and run to RMF standards, with a dedicated site manager on every job.

Our values

How we work

The four values every person at RMF signs up to, in the workshop, on site and in the office.

01

We are a team

We share the workload, help each other out, keep focused and work safely. We're a family business and we act like one.

02

Accountability

Everyone owns their role and responsibilities, and builds trust with clients and colleagues.

03

Be the best

We keep improving, keep innovating and bring a winning mindset to every job.

04

Customer first

Know your field, offer the best solution every time, don't delay bad news and always have a plan.

Leadership

The team behind the work

Supported by our estimating, drafting, project delivery, fabrication, installation and automation teams.
