Commercial Fencing Cedar City UT | Call RCF Metalwork

Cedar City’s high elevation and dry climate cause significant moisture evaporation, which can warp, crack, and splinter standard lumber decks and fences. After a few freeze-thaw cycles, untreated wood becomes brittle and rots—especially around the base of posts. RCF Metalwork addresses this by using custom metal posts, frames, and railing inserts that support the structure from the ground up. Pairing metal with capped wood or composite decking eliminates rot at critical contact points, giving you a deck or fence that can outlast standard construction by decades.

If you see splintering floorboards, loose railings, or spongy spots underfoot, your deck likely needs repair or partial replacement. However, if the ledger board (where the deck attaches to your house) shows rot, or if more than 30% of the joists are compromised, a full replacement is usually safer and more cost-effective. RCF Metalwork offers free on-site inspections in Cedar City to evaluate the structure. For decks that are still salvageable, we can retrofit metal supports and replace damaged sections. For older decks, we deliver a complete replacement with a steel-reinforced substructure that will resist Iron County’s extreme temperature swings.

Absolutely. We fabricate metal components on-site in our Cedar City shop, so we can powder-coat posts, spindles, and gates in any standard or custom color—including browns, blacks, and bronzes that complement natural wood tones. Many homeowners near the Cedar Canyon neighborhood choose a mixed design: wood decking with black or dark bronze metal railings for visibility and a modern West look. We can also forge decorative scrollwork or straight-line modern styles so the metal elements blend with your current fence or deck.
