The Good

  • Limited Lifetime Warranty 
  • Easy DIY Installation

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Gilpin Inc. warrants their products against defects that may happen as long as you own the products. There is expected wear and tear that is not included. Aluminum coverage includes rust, peeling, cracking, or blistering that are caused by defects in Gilpin supplied materials. The iron warranty includes scratches, abrasions, nicks, and other defects. Iron rusting, corrosion, or defects in the coating are not covered in the warranty.

Easy DIY Installation

Both of Gilpin Inc.’s fences, iron and aluminum, are made to be easily installed by yourself. This means you can save money by not having to pay for an installer, and the project of installing can be less extensive than other fences since the installation was made with customers in mind.

The Bad

  • Undisclosed States
  • Doesn’t Provide Installation 

Undisclosed States

Gilpin Inc. doesn’t provide information as to which states it is located in. It does say that there are a list of retailers that may have the product, but Gilpin Inc. doesn’t have its own stores. It can be difficult to find a location near you that has Gilpin Inc. fencing since it doesn’t have exact locations listed on the website. 

Doesn’t Provide Installation 

Because Gilpin Inc. doesn’t have its own stores, it also does not have its own installers. You are completely in charge of installation, whether you do it yourself or you find someone to do it for you. Gilpin Inc. says the retail stores that carry its fencing may have installation available or know of local installers, but this can be uncertain since each retailer varies.

The Bottom Line

Gilpin Inc. does not have its own stores and it does not provide exact locations to where it is sold. It also does not offer installation. If you feel comfortable installing a fence, and you know your local fencing retail stores carry Gilpin Inc. products, then the company could be a good option when looking for an iron or aluminum fence. The fences are also pet-friendly, so Gilpin Inc. is a good company to go with if that is a specific factor you are looking for.
