question about fencing

I’m sure most NYers have seen these types of fences all over the city. (I have no idea what the correct name is for them so I have included a picture). I know they are almost exclusively used for construction sites, but I am thinking about using them as a fence for my backyard. I saw it done at a bar in Williamsburg, and liked the look, and it also would fit in with the industrial feel of my neighborhood. I have a few questions though. First of all is there a proper name for them? I did a bunch of google searches and the best I could come up with was “corrugated metal fence”. Are they legal? Do they posses some inherent downside that I am ignorant of? Does anyone know a local place that I could purchase them (I’m not a contractor). Anyone know the relative cost? I would estimate that my backyard is ten yards wide by twenty feet long. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I love this stuff too and wanted to install it at one point and ran into the same problem. I know that the corrugated metal is now square as opposed to the really great vintage wavey
style. I think it really works in a residential context especially with 19th century architecture. A great example of this is on Crosby St. between Grand and Spring on the west side of the street. Its painted black and has Ivy growing on it. I think it`s just called corrugated steel and it is simply screwed onto steel fenceposts in 4 X 8 sheets. This with blond pea gravel would be a great setting for outdoor sculpture in my opinion.
It’s called Qdeck

This is much cleaner looking and without the (illegal in NYC) concertina wire.
I actually like the Industrial look, that is why I was researching it. Like I said, I saw it at a bar in Williamsburg, and coupled with some modern outdoor furniture, thought it looked great. Also, because I almost always see it used as temporary fencing for construction sites I thought it might be easier to assemble and install. Am I way off track?

That will heat up to 150 degrees in the summer, and will catch the wind like a sail and come down sooner rather than later.
Why not just buy that Veranda fence from Home Depot? Much better look.
