Why Choose an Aluminum Fence?
Aluminum gives you the ornamental iron look without the rust, the repaint cycle, or the wrought-iron price tag. Powder-coated panels keep their finish for decades, rack to sloped yards without gaps, and meet pool barrier codes in all nine states we serve. Your instant estimate shows your down payment and bi-weekly payment in 30 seconds.
-
No rust, ever
Aluminum can’t form red rust, even where the finish takes a scratch. That’s why the panels commonly carry a lifetime material warranty, and why it’s the metal fence we install near pools and along the Gulf.
-
Zero-upkeep finish
No staining, no painting, no sanding. Upkeep is a garden-hose rinse once or twice a year. A wood fence wants stain every 2 to 3 years; iron wants paint. Aluminum wants nothing.
-
Follows your slope
Rackable panels follow the grade instead of stair-stepping. Standard panels absorb about 6 inches of drop per 6-foot section, so there are no triangle gaps under the fence for pets or pool code to worry about.
-
Pool-code ready
Purpose-built pool panels: 48-inch minimum heights, picket openings under 4 inches, and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware. Built to pass your local barrier inspection the first time.
-
The iron look, a fraction of the cost
Aluminum delivers the same black ornamental profile as wrought iron at a fraction of the installed cost — with none of the repaint cycle iron demands. Same curb appeal, no rust, no sanding, no paint.
-
Installs in 1 to 2 days
A 6-foot residential aluminum panel weighs roughly 15 pounds, a fraction of comparable steel or iron. Panels go up fast, so most residential jobs are set, hung, and walked in 1 to 2 days on site.
What Grades and Options Can You Pick?
Every aluminum fence we install is a powder-coated panel system in one of three duty grades. Residential grade handles yards and pools. Commercial grade steps up to 3/4-inch pickets for HOAs and businesses. Industrial grade runs 1-inch pickets for schools and secure perimeters. Then pick flat or spear tops, one of three colors, and pool-code hardware where you need it.
-
Three duty grades
- Residential: 5/8-inch pickets, 2-inch posts. Yards, pools, front-yard borders.
- Commercial: 3/4-inch pickets, heavier rails, 2.5-inch posts. HOAs, apartments, businesses.
- Industrial: 1-inch pickets, 3-inch posts, reinforced rails. Schools, storage, secure perimeters.
-
Powder-coat finish
- Polyester powder coat baked onto the aluminum, not brushed on.
- Better panel lines carry an AAMA 2604-rated coating for sun and coastal exposure.
- Standard colors: black, bronze, and white. Black reads nearly invisible against a tree line.
-
Pool-code compliance
- Minimum 48-inch height with openings under 4 inches and under 2 inches at the bottom.
- Self-closing, self-latching gates with the release mounted 54 inches above grade.
- We confirm your city or county’s exact barrier code before install.
-
Top styles & extras
- Flat top: clean lines, nothing to catch a sleeve, the kid-friendly pick.
- Spear top or staggered spear: the classic ornamental look and a real climb deterrent.
- Add-ons: finials, rings, and puppy pickets (tighter bottom spacing for small dogs).
What Would My Aluminum Fence Payment Be?
An aluminum fence goes in with a low down payment and a bi-weekly payment on a 3, 4, or 5-year plan — monthly plans are available too. No Credit Check Financing, fast approval, no early payoff penalty, and an early purchase option if you want out ahead of schedule. There’s no credit check, and the estimator shows your exact payments in 30 seconds.
| Build | Spec |
|---|---|
| Residential, 48 in flat top | 5/8 in pickets · 2 in posts · 6 ft spans |
| Residential, 60 in spear top | 5/8 in pickets · 2 in posts · 6 ft spans |
| Commercial, 54 in pool code | 3/4 in pickets · 2.5 in posts · self-closing gate hardware |
| Industrial, 72 in | 1 in pickets · 3 in posts · reinforced rails |
| Walk gate, 4 ft | Grade-matched panel · self-closing hinges |
| Double drive gate, 10–12 ft | Drop rod · heavy-duty hinges |
Every estimate comes framed the same way: your down payment and bi-weekly payment side by side. No teaser numbers.
How Does the Install Work?
Most aluminum installs finish in 1 to 2 days on site. Posts go in first and set in concrete, panels rack to your grade in 6-foot spans, gates hang square with the right hardware, and you walk the full line with the crew before we call it done. Every job carries the 1-Year Workmanship Warranty on top of the manufacturer's panel coverage.
-
Site prep
Utility locates get called in, the fence line gets marked and measured against your quote, and any old fence comes out if you added tear-out. You approve the exact line before a single hole is dug.
-
Posts set
Posts go about 2 feet deep in concrete footings, plumbed and strung to a line. Gate posts get the heaviest footing on the job because gates live or die by their posts.
-
Panels & gates
Panels rack to your grade section by section, 6-foot spans locked to every post. Gates hang square with self-closing hardware wherever pool code calls for it.
-
Walkthrough
You walk the full line with the crew: every panel, every latch, every gate swing. Nothing is done until you say it’s done, and the job leaves with the 1-Year Workmanship Warranty.

Aluminum Fence Questions, Answered
Is aluminum fence as strong as wrought iron?
Pound for pound, iron is stronger, but installed aluminum closes most of the gap. Commercial and industrial grades use 3/4-inch and 1-inch pickets with reinforced rails that take the same daily abuse. The bigger difference shows up after year five: iron rusts and needs repainting, aluminum doesn't. Installed wrought iron also costs a large multiple of aluminum — you pay far more up front and keep paying for repaints.
What does a pool-code aluminum fence require?
Most local pool codes follow the same barrier rules: at least 48 inches tall, openings under 4 inches, less than 2 inches of clearance at the bottom, and self-closing, self-latching gates with the release mounted 54 inches up. Our pool-code panels and gate hardware are built to meet those specs, and we confirm your city or county's exact requirements before install.
Will an aluminum fence rust or need maintenance?
No. Aluminum doesn't form red rust, even where the finish gets scratched, which is why the panels commonly carry a lifetime material warranty. The baked-on powder coat handles sun and coastal air without repainting. Upkeep is a garden-hose rinse once or twice a year. Compare that to wood, which wants stain every 2 to 3 years, or iron, which needs sanding and paint.
Can an aluminum fence follow a sloped yard?
Yes. Standard panels rack about 6 inches of drop over a 6-foot section, so the fence follows your grade with no triangle gaps underneath. Double-punched rackable panels handle roughly twice that on steeper yards, and we step the fence on severe grades. On pool enclosures this matters most: racking keeps the bottom gap under the 2-inch code limit for the whole run.
Is an aluminum fence good for security?
It's a strong boundary and a real deterrent, not a vault. Spear-top panels at 60 or 72 inches are genuinely hard to climb, and industrial grade with 1-inch pickets resists prying and spreading. Gates take keyed locks, drop rods, and self-closing hardware. For homes and pools that's plenty; for commercial perimeters we spec the industrial grade at taller heights.
What Would the Payments Look Like?
Here's how aluminum financing frames up: a down payment with the bi-weekly payment for the 3, 4, and 5-year plans side by side, the same way the estimator shows every estimate. There’s no credit check, and you see your exact terms before you sign anything.
- Bi-weekly · 3-year plan
- $184
- Bi-weekly · 4-year plan
- $155
- Bi-weekly · 5-year plan
- $137
Example for illustration only, not an offer of credit. Financing is subject to approval; your exact down payment, payment amount, and terms are set at approval and shown to you before you sign anything.
