Mulholland Brand designs, fabricates and installs wood-look aluminum fences and matching gates for homes in Thousand Oaks and across Ventura County. The fence is powder-coated aluminum with a woodgrain finish, so it looks like timber but cannot rot at the posts or draw termites, and it never needs sanding or staining. Each fence is built to your measurements in Mulholland's own Canoga Park factory and installed by its own W-2 crew. Mulholland has worked in Southern California since 1994 under California contractor license CSLB #1061373.
Why do wood fences rot at the posts first?
The post is the part of a wood fence that meets the ground. Soil holds moisture against it, sprinklers wet it, and the wood breaks down there long before the boards above look tired. Once a post softens, the fence starts to lean, and replacing one post at a time rarely stops the next one from going.
Aluminum does not rot. There is nothing at ground level for moisture or termites to eat, and the powder coat never needs repainting. Mulholland states its finish lasts 30+ years in the Southern California sun.
Ventura County adds its own pressures. Thousand Oaks sits in dry inland hills where brush fire is a real concern, and aluminum is non-combustible and CAL FIRE tested. Ridgeline wind and long perimeter runs on sloped lots are common too, and Mulholland engineers fencing to the grade, stepped or raked to follow the ground.
How close does wood-look aluminum get to real wood?
Close enough that customers regularly say they cannot tell it is not wood. The woodgrain is part of the powder-coat finish, so there is no sanding, staining or sealing to schedule. This post on wood-like aluminum gates and fencing shows how the finishes compare.
Real wood still suits some people. If you like the way timber weathers, or you want to cut and refinish boards yourself, wood is a fair choice. You just take on the upkeep, and the posts will eventually need replacing again.
What fences and gates does Mulholland install in Ventura County?
The fencing range runs from privacy and horizontal-slat profiles through frameless modern designs and traditional spear-top picket. It also covers pool fencing with code spacing and self-closing gates, dog runs, and wall toppers for adding height to an existing block wall.
Gates are built to match. Walk gates follow the same design series as the driveway gate, and driveway gates come sliding or swing, with motors, safety sensors and keypad access available. See the full gates and fences range, or read more about an aluminum fence in Thousand Oaks.
The process is simple. Mulholland comes to your home, measures the site including slope, gives you an itemized quote in writing, builds the fence in Canoga Park, and installs it with its own crew. Financing is available.
