Steel this Look
Johansen Fence & Gate is operated by Cody Johansen. His background in landscape construction, welding and fabrication enabled him to expand the business to include the creation of a variety of styles of doors, gates, fencing, trellises, fireplaces and art sculptures.
Tips and Trends
• Research various styles you prefer and have photos or sketches ready when you meet with the metal designer.
• Powder coating, paint and natural rust finishes are among the many available options.
• Rust is a popular trend now. The rustic look works well with the desert environment.
• Acid washes speed up the metal’s oxidation process. Seal with clear coating to give a matte or gloss patina.
• Water jet tools using a computer (CNC machine) can be used to cut steel. This process can cut precise edges with no heat and metal distortion.
