Styles

Popular Aluminum Fence Styles We Install

These are just a few examples. If you've seen a fence you like, send us a photo send us a photo. We can install just about anything.

All styles come in several heights with matching walk and drive gates. See more on our fence styles page.

3-Rail Flat Top

A clean, modern profile and one of the most popular choices for pool enclosures and backyard boundaries.

3-Rail Spear Top

The traditional ornamental look, with spear pickets that extend above the top rail.

Alternating Spears

Tall and short spear pickets for a more decorative front-yard look.

2-Rail Flat Top

A lighter, more open look for patios, gardens, and pools. Shown here in bronze.

Stepped Sections

Aluminum sections can be stepped or racked to follow stairs, slopes, and retaining walls.

Heights, Colors & Options

Heights: residential aluminum is commonly 4–5′, and pool enclosures must be at least 48″ tall under Pennsylvania's pool-barrier rules.
Colors: black, bronze, white, and silver/grey powder coats, plus custom colors on request.
Grades: residential, pool, and heavier commercial grades.
Gates: matching walk and drive gates. Pool gates get self-closing, self-latching hardware.
Pool code: picket spacing and bottom clearance matter. See our Pennsylvania pool fence requirements guide.

Why homeowners choose aluminum

No rust, no painting, an open look that keeps views, and styles that meet pool-barrier requirements.

Things to know

Aluminum doesn't give privacy, and it isn't built to hold back large dogs that jump or lean on it. For privacy, see vinyl or wood.

What Affects the Price

Every fence is priced on its own measurements, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. These are the things that move the number up or down:

Total linear footage and number of corners, ends, and gate posts
Height and grade (residential, pool, or commercial)
Style: spear and alternating-spear tops cost more than flat top
Color: custom powder coats usually cost more than standard black
Number of gates and pool-code self-closing hardware
Slopes, stairs, and retaining walls that need stepped or racked sections
Ground conditions and removal of an old fence

We give free written estimates after seeing your property. Read our fence cost guide for more, or ask about financing.

How It Works

Free on-site estimateWe walk the property with you, measure, talk through materials and styles, and give you a written quote at no charge.
Permits & property linesWe can pull the permit with your municipality for you (or you can pull it yourself), check HOA rules if you have them, and work from your survey so posts go on the right side of the line.
Utility markingPennsylvania law requires a PA One Call (811) request before digging. We handle it, so underground lines are marked before we set a post.
InstallationOld fence removal before install, if you're replacing one. Then posts set to the right depth for Pennsylvania frost, sections set level or stepped to your grade, and gates hung and adjusted.
Walkthrough & cleanupWe walk the finished fence with you, clean up the site, and give you your warranty and care information.

Every install is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty, with materials covered by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. Warranty details.

Aluminum Fence FAQ

Does an aluminum pool fence meet Pennsylvania code?

Pool-grade aluminum styles are designed to meet Pennsylvania pool-barrier rules, including minimum height, picket spacing, and self-closing, self-latching gates. Rules vary by municipality, so we confirm your local requirements before every pool fence.

Will an aluminum fence rust?

No. Aluminum doesn't rust, and the powder coat protects the finish. Materials are backed by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.

Can aluminum fence go on a slope?

Yes. Sections can be stepped or racked to follow grade, stairs, or a retaining wall.

Do I need a permit?

Pool fences almost always need a permit, and many front-yard fences do too. We can pull the permit for you, or you can pull it yourself. See our permit guide.

How much does an aluminum fence cost?

It depends on footage, height, grade, style, and gates. We give free written estimates. Our cost guide explains what moves the price.
