Introducing "The Revelstoke" Panel: Cedar Framed Deep Groove Steel Panel

A high contrast metal fence offering privacy and style

There’s a moment when a fence stops feeling like a necessary evil and starts feeling like part of the yard you actually enjoy. Maybe it’s that first evening you sit outside and realize the neighbours can’t see straight onto your patio anymore. Or the day you pull into the driveway and enjoy a moment of gratitude for a front yard that turns heads. That’s the space the Revelstoke is meant to fill.

Named for a vibrant alpine gem in southeastern British Columbia, The Revelstoke panel is meant to evoke a captivating blend of old and new. It is rugged against the weather but refined to the eye. The history of the town of Revelstoke is known for its innovative spirit. Its historic downtown architecture and heritage museums tell stories of its pioneering past, while a thriving arts scene and dynamic outdoor tourism economy pulse with contemporary energy. The landmark Revelstoke Dam stands as a testament to the region's innovation.

A Proven Winner

When fence shoppers start looking at options, many fence systems commit one of two errors. Either they look too industrial for a home, or they are built too flimsy to justify the effort. (Of course, they market them as “light”, but hey, we all know…)

But when a customer lands on the Revelstoke, they get looks and quality. Pleasing colour contrasts: deep-groove black steel (or choose any of these colours) framed in Western Red Cedar. They get quality: 26-gauge hot dip galvanized steel panels coated with rust-proof HDP paint on both sides. 

On install day, the first panel going up is the turning point. The bold metal ribs throw distinct shadows in the evening sun, the cedar frame might tie perfectly into deck wood, planter boxes, or house trim, and suddenly the fence line is a photo out of a design magazine.

A few months later, after storms, sprinklers, and plenty of backyard use, the Revelstoke hasn’t budged. No warping, no flaking stain, no new weekend projects. The fence has stopped being something to fix and has become part of what makes the yard feel like “the good spot” to spend time.

Deep-groove steel + cedar

The steel infill uses a deep-groove profile, which gives you those strong vertical or horizontal shadow lines that really pop in the sun. That extra contour also adds stiffness, so you’re not just getting a pretty face—you’re getting a genuinely sturdy fence. Finished in black, it instantly reads as a steel fence that feels current and intentional, not like an afterthought.

Then there’s the cedar. Western Red Cedar framing softens the metal, ties into decks and planters, and makes the whole panel feel more handcrafted. If you love the character of wood but don’t love the upkeep, this combo hits a nice balance between warmth and low maintenance.

The look is especially strong beside modern homes with black windows, clean lines, and simple landscaping. Instead of trying to hide your fence, the Revelstoke turns it into part of the design.

Built for real weather, not just nice days

Because the Revelstoke is built on BarrierBoss’s steel platform, it’s designed with rough climates in mind. The metal is galvanized and finished with long-lasting coatings, so it’s not fighting the usual wood problems like rot, warping, or endless staining cycles. Instead of budgeting weekends for fence maintenance, you can mostly set it up and leave it alone.

That makes the Revelstoke more of a one-time investment: install it, enjoy it, and don’t think about replacing it in a few years. It’s exactly what most people mean when they say they want a premium metal fence panel—something that feels solid, looks sharp, and doesn’t turn into a project every spring.

Friendly to DIYers and pros

The Revelstoke also works nicely if you’re leaning toward metal fence DIY. Because the steel and cedar are designed to go together, you’re not trying to mash up random lumber and generic metal sheets from a box store. That cuts down on layout headaches and helps you end up with a fence that looks deliberately designed, not cobbled together.

Contractors benefit from that same simplicity: consistent panels, a clear visual story, and a finished product that photographs well and sells itself to the next client.

When to pick the Revelstoke

The Revelstoke is a great match when you:

• Want full privacy and a solid, sturdy fence that feels permanent.

• Like the idea of a black steel fence but don’t want an industrial vibe.

• Care about curb appeal as much as function and want your fence to feel like part of your overall design.

• Prefer to invest in steel fencing once, rather than constantly fixing or replacing wood.
