Aluminum Fences

The Aluminum Advantage

Aluminum fencing gives you the classic look of ornamental iron with none of the maintenance headaches. It won't rust, rot, or corrode. It never needs painting or staining. And it stays looking beautiful year after year with just an occasional rinse from your garden hose.

Lancaster homeowners love aluminum fencing because it combines elegance with practicality. The vertical bars and decorative finials create a sophisticated look that improves your curb appeal and property value. At the same time, aluminum is incredibly strong and durable. It can handle our Texas weather without warping, fading, or breaking down.

Aluminum fences work beautifully around pools, in front yards, and along property lines where you want security without blocking your view. The open design lets you see your landscape and keeps your property feeling open and spacious. Plus, professional installation is quick and clean, with most projects completed in just a few days.

Why Aluminum Beats Other Materials

Here's how aluminum stacks up against other popular fencing materials:

• Aluminum vs Iron: Aluminum looks like wrought iron but costs less, weighs less, and never rusts. Iron requires regular painting and rust treatment.
• Aluminum vs Wood: Wood needs staining every few years and can rot or attract termites. Aluminum needs no maintenance and lasts much longer.
• Aluminum vs Vinyl: Both are low-maintenance, but aluminum is stronger and won't crack or become brittle in extreme temperatures.
• Aluminum vs Chain-Link: Aluminum offers a more decorative appearance and higher-end look while providing similar visibility and security.

The best choice depends on your priorities, budget, and where you're installing the fence. We can help you compare vinyl, wood, and aluminum side by side so you can make an informed decision.

Aluminum Fence Styles and Customization

Modern aluminum fences come in a wide variety of styles to match any home architecture. Classic ornamental designs feature decorative finials and rings that create an elegant, traditional look. Modern styles use clean lines and simple tops for contemporary homes. You can even get aluminum that mimics the appearance of wrought iron without the weight and rust issues.

Most aluminum fences come in black, which is the most popular choice. Bronze, white, and green are also available if you want something different. The powder-coated finish is baked on at the factory, so it bonds permanently to the metal and won't chip, peel, or fade even in harsh sunlight.

Height options typically range from 3 feet to 6 feet. Shorter fences work well for front yard borders and decorative purposes. Taller fences provide better security and privacy while still maintaining visibility. You can mix heights for visual interest or to match local regulations. Gates can be designed to match your fence perfectly and come with quality hardware that lasts.

Perfect for Pool Safety

Aluminum is one of the best materials for pool fencing. It meets safety codes in most areas, looks beautiful around pool areas, and won't rust or deteriorate from pool chemicals or moisture. The vertical bars prevent climbing, and the spacing between bars meets regulations for child safety.

Pool fences typically need to be at least 4 feet tall, though 5 feet provides better security and peace of mind. Self-closing, self-latching gates are required by most codes. We install compliant gate systems that work smoothly and reliably. You can also add pool alarms for an extra layer of protection.

We have extensive experience with pool fencing installations throughout Lancaster. We know the local codes and inspection requirements, and we handle all the details so your pool area is safe, compliant, and attractive. Many homeowners choose to extend their aluminum pool fence around their entire backyard for a cohesive, polished look.
