I am needing some fencing and this post caught my eye.  I checked out Home Depot and found that they have a material that looks like the top picture in a white translucent polycarbonate - just the look I am interested in.  They also have posts that are made of steel that can work, I think.  I am just trying to figure out how exactly to attach them to make them work, and who to get to do a project like this. 




 




 




Also, I was planning on using cable railing on a walk deck and rooftop deck so as not to block the view.  The bid came in too high ($100/linear ft for 150 ft) so I am trying to find alternates for this too.  The picture above with the square mesh would work well, but not with wood.  I would need to find something that can hold up to Phoenix sun and heat.  Also, I need to find a way to attach the wire to the frame, so that it would be centered like in the picture, and not on just one side. 




 




Here is a picture of the front of my house, the fencing with the polycarbonate would go on the right to hide the ac units and provide fall protection and on the left on top of the retaining walls to provide fall protection. 




 




 




 




 




Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I have seen some very cool corrugated metal fences in Palm Springs, but can't figure out what materials they are made from.  I have a worker who could make it for me if I knew where to buy the materials, or would be interested if anyone knows of someone who makes them in Los Angeles.  Here's a picture - thanks




 




The metal often seen as fencing material in Palm Springs is the Mega Rib panel by http://www.mcelroymetal.com/content/products/


It's sold in any length you request and comes in various colors plus galvalume.  I used it last year and the price was reasonable.
