Picking Up Your Order from Our Factory
Yes — you may pick up your aluminum fence, gate, or post order at our factory in Michigan as an alternative to shipping. Many of our local or regional customers choose this option to save on freight costs.
Please note: Pickup does not accelerate your order timeline. All products are made-to-order and must go through our normal fabrication process, including cutting, punching, welding, powder coating, and packaging.
