Aluminum Fences

The Beauty and Strength of Aluminum

Aluminum fencing gives you the elegant look of traditional wrought iron without the weight, cost, or maintenance hassles. It creates a sophisticated appearance that enhances your property value and curb appeal. The clean lines and classic styling work beautifully with any architectural style, from traditional to contemporary.

One of the biggest advantages of aluminum is that it will never rust. Unlike iron or steel, aluminum naturally resists corrosion. This makes it perfect for St. George climate where occasional rain and irrigation can affect other metals. Your fence maintains its beautiful appearance year after year without special treatments or rust prevention measures.

Aluminum fencing is also incredibly low maintenance. The powder-coated finish is baked onto the metal at high temperatures, creating a durable surface that resists chipping, peeling, and fading. You never need to paint or refinish it. An occasional spray with the hose is all the maintenance required. This convenience makes aluminum popular with homeowners who want a beautiful fence without ongoing upkeep.

At HRC St George Fencing, we install commercial-grade aluminum fencing with heavy-duty construction. Our aluminum posts and rails are thicker than standard residential products. We use reinforced brackets and quality fasteners for maximum strength. This attention to detail ensures your aluminum fence withstands wind and weather while maintaining its elegant appearance.

Popular Aluminum Fence Styles

Finding Your Perfect Style

Aluminum fencing comes in numerous styles and configurations. Here are the most popular options we install.

• Ornamental Picket: This classic style features vertical pickets with decorative spear tops, rings, or finials. It provides security and boundary definition while maintaining an open, welcoming appearance. Ornamental aluminum works beautifully for front yards and perimeter fencing. Heights typically range from 4 to 6 feet, with options for taller commercial applications.
• Pool Fencing: Aluminum is one of the best materials for pool enclosures. It provides the required safety barrier while looking elegant. The open design maintains visibility for supervision. Aluminum pool fences meet strict safety codes and include self-closing, self-latching gates. The rust-proof nature makes it ideal for constant water exposure.
• Estate and Commercial Grade: These heavier styles use larger pickets and rails for enhanced security and durability. They work well for commercial properties, estates, and high-end residential applications. The substantial construction provides maximum strength while maintaining a refined appearance. Options include arched gates, decorative scrollwork, and custom heights up to 8 feet or more.
• Flat Top and Puppy Picket: Flat top styles have level tops without decorative points, creating a clean modern look. Puppy picket designs add extra pickets near the bottom to prevent small pets from squeezing through. These practical variations maintain the elegance of aluminum while addressing specific functional needs.

Most aluminum fencing comes in black, bronze, white, and various metallic colors. Black is the most popular choice for its classic appearance. We help you select the style and color that complements your home and landscape.

Aluminum vs Other Fence Materials

Understanding how aluminum compares to other materials helps you make the best choice for your property. Here is how aluminum stacks up.

Compared to wrought iron, aluminum offers similar aesthetics at lower cost. Iron is heavier and requires professional welding for installation, which increases labor costs. Iron also rusts over time and needs periodic painting. Aluminum gives you the same elegant look without these drawbacks. The main advantage of iron is its slightly more substantial appearance and extreme strength, though aluminum is plenty strong for most residential applications.

Compared to vinyl fencing, aluminum offers a different aesthetic. Vinyl provides more privacy options with solid panels, while aluminum is typically ornamental and open. Aluminum is lighter weight and easier to install in some situations. Both materials require minimal maintenance and resist weather damage. Choose vinyl for privacy and aluminum for elegance and visibility.

Compared to wood, aluminum requires virtually no maintenance. Wood needs regular staining or painting and can rot or warp over time. Aluminum maintains its appearance indefinitely. Wood offers more privacy and a natural aesthetic that some prefer. Aluminum costs more initially but saves money through eliminated maintenance over its lifespan.

The best material depends on your priorities. We discuss your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences during your consultation. Our goal is helping you choose the fence that best serves your property and lifestyle.
