Overview

Aluminum gives you the ornamental look of wrought iron without rust, keeps views open and needs very little maintenance, which is why it is a favorite for pools, front yards and estate lots.
Is aluminum right for your project?

Good for most dogs. Puppy-picket panels close the lower gaps for small dogs.
Pools
One of the most popular pool-fence materials: open visibility and self-closing gate hardware options.
HOAs
Frequently approved because it keeps views open; black is the most common approved color.

Styles & options
Aluminum Fencing options we install
Flat-top
Pickets finish flush with the top rail for a clean, modern profile.
Spear-top
Pickets extend above the top rail with decorative finials for a traditional estate look.
Three-rail
A third rail adds visual weight and a finished, ornamental appearance.
Flush-bottom
The bottom rail sits at the base of the pickets for a tidy line along the ground.
Puppy picket
Extra pickets at the bottom of each panel close the gaps for small dogs.
Pool fencing
Open-view panels with self-closing, self-latching gate hardware options for pool barriers.
Aluminum vs. wrought iron
Aluminum looks similar to wrought iron but will not rust and is much lighter, so it is easier to install on slopes and costs less to maintain. Wrought iron is heavier and stronger but needs periodic painting.
Racked for sloped yards
Many aluminum panels can be racked to follow a gentle slope so the fence stays parallel to the ground. Steeper grades are stepped. We plan this on site.
Pools, pets and views
Aluminum is a natural choice when you want a safe, defined yard without blocking the view of your landscaping, a pond or a golf course.
