Ordering fence supplies in New Orleans generally means four moves: get a free on-site estimate, choose between aluminum or wrought iron, decide between standard lead times or the faster Quick Ship option, then lock in an installation date. Most residential orders go from first phone call to finished fence within a few weeks, and pre-made Quick Ship styles can move noticeably faster than custom orders.
Getting ready to order fence supplies in New Orleans takes more than picking a style out of a catalog. The city’s humidity, heavy rain, and clay-heavy soil all affect which materials hold up over time, and a smooth order depends on getting accurate measurements, a written estimate, and a realistic delivery timeline before anything goes into the ground. Homeowners and property managers who plan each step, from choosing a material to scheduling installation, avoid the back-and-forth that slows most fence projects down by weeks.
Big Easy Fence Supply walks Greater New Orleans customers through that process from the first phone call to the final walkthrough, supplying and installing aluminum and wrought iron fencing for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Call 504-608-7730 or request a free estimate online to start your order the right way.
Ordering fence supplies in New Orleans typically follows a straightforward sequence: schedule a free estimate, meet with a fencing specialist to review materials and layout, receive a written quote, confirm your order and delivery method, then schedule installation. Most residential jobs move from that first call to a finished fence within a few weeks. Commercial and industrial orders may take longer depending on perimeter size and material availability.
Skipping steps rarely saves time. Homeowners who order materials before a specialist walks the property often end up with the wrong panel height, gate width, or post spacing for their yard. If you’re replacing an old fence, removal and disposal of the existing structure gets scheduled as part of the same order, so there’s no separate cleanup step to arrange afterward.
Most New Orleans properties end up with either aluminum or wrought iron, since both resist the region’s humidity and heavy rain far better than wood without the upkeep that chain-link or vinyl demand. Aluminum fits residential yards, pool enclosures, and commercial perimeters because the powder-coated finish won’t rust or rot in coastal air. Wrought iron suits historic homes and properties that want a heavier, more ornamental look, and it also holds up well on commercial fronts that need a formal appearance.
Both materials come in several product lines, so it helps to see them side by side before you commit to an order. The products page lists every current aluminum and wrought iron option, including industrial-grade lines for larger perimeters, and this buyer’s guide to fence materials in New Orleans breaks down pricing and maintenance for each.
Aluminum fencing comes in several style lines, including Specrail, AFS residential styles, and the Bennington line, which ranges from 36 to 72 inches tall, so most homeowners can match a fence to their home’s architecture and privacy needs. Wrought iron styles lean more decorative and work well on older New Orleans properties with existing ironwork or gates. Picking a height, style, and gate placement before the estimate keeps the quote accurate the first time and avoids ordering the wrong hardware.

Gate installation and repair can be added to any order, so mention it up front if your project includes a driveway or walkway gate. Call 504-608-7730 if you want a specialist to narrow the options before your estimate.
A specialist measures your property, confirms gate locations, and factors in slope or obstacles before putting together a written quote, so the number you order from matches what actually gets installed. This step is quick, usually done in a single visit, and it’s free with no obligation to buy. Once you approve the quote, that becomes your official order and locks in pricing before production begins.
Rough self-measurements can get you in the ballpark, but they rarely account for gate hardware, corner posts, or grade changes across a yard. A professional measurement protects against reordering materials mid-project, which is one of the most common reasons fence installs run behind schedule.
The Quick Ship program covers a set of pre-made residential and commercial aluminum fence styles kept ready for faster delivery, so homeowners who don’t need a fully custom design can skip most of the standard lead time. It’s the fastest way to order fence supplies in New Orleans when your timeline is tight, such as before selling a home, closing on a new property, or finishing a pool install before summer.
Quick Ship isn’t the right fit for every property, since custom heights, colors, or gate configurations still take longer to source. A specialist can confirm during your estimate whether a Quick Ship style matches what your yard needs, or whether a standard order makes more sense. Details on current styles are on the Quick Ship page.
Standard aluminum and wrought iron orders usually install within a few weeks of a confirmed quote, while Quick Ship styles can move faster, and every completed installation is backed by a 24-Hour Fence Replacement Guarantee. Installation itself typically takes one to two days for an average residential yard, depending on total footage and gate count.
