Aluminum Fences

Why Aluminum Fencing Stands Out

Aluminum fences give you the elegant look of wrought iron without the weight, cost, or rust problems. They're perfect for front yards where you want curb appeal, pool areas that need style and safety, or anywhere you want a fence that looks upscale. The vertical pickets with decorative spears or loops create a classic appearance that works with any home style.

Here in Palm Harbor, aluminum handles our salty air and humidity better than any other metal fence. It never rusts because aluminum doesn't corrode like steel or iron. The powder-coated finish stays smooth and chip-free for decades. You get a fence that looks great from day one and still looks great 30 years later with almost no work from you. RidgeCraft Palm Harbor Fencing installs aluminum fences that combine beauty with lasting performance.

What Makes Aluminum Fences Special

Aluminum has unique benefits that make it worth considering for your property:

• Never Rusts: Unlike iron or steel, aluminum won't rust even in Florida's humid, salty environment. No rust stains on your driveway or patio.
• Lightweight but Strong: Aluminum weighs much less than iron, making installation easier, but it's still incredibly strong and durable.
• Looks Like Wrought Iron: Get the classic ornamental look without the high cost and maintenance of real wrought iron.
• Works on Slopes: Aluminum fence panels rack (adjust to angles) better than other materials, perfect for hilly yards.
• Many Style Options: From simple to ornate, with different picket tops, rings, scrollwork, and finials to match your taste.
• Easy Maintenance: Just spray it down occasionally. The powder coating doesn't need repainting or touch-ups.

Aluminum Fence Styles and Options

Aluminum fences come in styles ranging from simple to decorative. Here's what we install most often in Palm Harbor:

Classic Picket Style

Straight vertical pickets with spear points on top. This is the most popular style for residential properties. Clean lines work with any home, from traditional to modern. Available in different heights and picket spacing.

Ornamental with Rings and Scrolls

Decorative rings and scroll work add visual interest and elegance. Perfect for front yards and areas where you want the fence to be a feature. Common on historic homes and properties with formal landscaping.

Pool Code Compliant

Special designs meet Florida pool barrier requirements with specific picket spacing and height. These combine safety with style, so your pool fence looks great while keeping everyone safe.

Colors and Finishes

Black is the classic choice that looks like traditional wrought iron. Bronze gives a warmer tone. White works with coastal and cottage styles. The powder-coated finish is baked on during manufacturing for a tough, uniform coating that won't chip or peel like paint.
