4 Ways to Create a Beautiful Yard with Steel

You already know that you can use steel for a wide variety of building and construction projects, and for functional things like pipelines and support beams, but did you also know that items from Wasatch Steel can make a great source for outdoor decorations? Using steel in your yard is a fun way to add color, dimension, and character beyond just the basic grass, trees, shrubs, and flowers. Here are some ways you can creatively use steel to get a beautiful yard.

Steel Fences
If you need to build a fence around your yard, whether it’s your backyard, front yard, or both, you can use steel to create a timeless, classic look and also give you the added security that you need. Forego the hassle and upkeep of wood fences, and the bland, uniform look of vinyl for something that expresses your individual style. You can choose from a wide variety of spindles that come in any size you need to build a tall or short fence, and you can get ones that are ornamental, functional, or even something custom that you want designed. Wasatch Steel has a huge selection of ornamental steel to choose from for your fencing needs.

Steel Stair Rails
In addition to your fence around the edges of the yard, steel makes a great addition to your backyard deck and garden areas. If you have a second story deck, you can even use steel to build a staircase and stair rails for a one-of-a-kind look in your yard. Perforated or raised steel make great non-slip surfaces for the stairs, and because steel has exceptional strength and durability it can withstand even the harshest weather conditions with requiring a lot of maintenance and upkeep. You could even try some spiral stairs for a fun look in the backyard that is different from the usual style.

Steel Landscaping Materials
Another way to add steel to your yard is in the landscaping materials. Instead of getting concrete edging or hassling with building brick or stone walls, use steel plates as your edging materials. You can get them in a variety of patinas and colors, as well as different widths and thicknesses, to create a beautiful dimensional landscape look.

Signs & Accessories
Finally, finish off your yard with some steel signs and accessories. You can add steel numbers to the front of your house for the address sign, or even have a custom steel sign cut with your family name and house number. Then use steel signs in the garden and on the back deck for fun décor. You can bring any design to Wasatch Steel and we can help you make that vision a reality with the perfect sign for your home and garden. If you’re looking for interior décor, we can even make signs for the inside of your home as well.

There are so many different ways that you can decorate with steel around your yard. With spring arriving it’s that time of year to start thinking about it, so before you do anything more, come check out the selection of different items available at the steel supermarket so you can find something that will truly make your yard unique.
