Aluminum Fences
Elegant aluminum fencing that combines classic beauty with modern durability and low maintenance.
The Elegance of Iron, Without the Hassle
Aluminum fencing gives your property the sophisticated look of wrought iron without the weight, rust problems, or high maintenance. These fences are perfect when you want to add security and define boundaries while maintaining an open, elegant appearance. At SureBuilt Castro Valley Fences, we install aluminum fencing that enhances your property's curb appeal while providing lasting performance.
Whether you're securing a pool area, adding a decorative border to your front yard, or enclosing your entire property, aluminum fencing offers a winning combination of beauty, strength, and convenience. It's especially popular for homeowners who love the classic look of ornamental metal fencing but don't want to deal with rust or repainting.
Advantages of Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing delivers practical benefits that make it a smart choice for many Castro Valley properties:
- Rust-proof: Aluminum doesn't rust or corrode, even in wet conditions or near pools
- Lightweight but strong: Easy to install and work with, yet durable enough for security
- Low maintenance: Never needs painting and stays looking good with just occasional hosing off
- Elegant appearance: Provides the classic look of wrought iron with clean lines and decorative details
- Multiple styles and colors: Available in various heights, picket styles, and powder-coat finishes
- Long lifespan: Quality aluminum fencing can last 30 years or more with minimal care
Aluminum Fence Styles
Aluminum fencing comes in a wide range of styles to match different architectural styles and functional needs. Traditional ornamental styles feature vertical pickets with decorative finials on top, resembling classic wrought iron fences. These are available with spear points, ball caps, or flat tops. Contemporary styles offer clean, simple lines without decorative elements for a modern look that complements updated home designs.
For pool areas, we install aluminum fencing that meets pool safety codes with self-closing gates and proper spacing between pickets. These pool fences combine required safety features with attractive designs that enhance your outdoor living space rather than detracting from it. If you're considering options for pool fencing, aluminum is one of the most popular choices.
Aluminum fencing is available in various heights, typically ranging from 3 feet for decorative applications to 6 feet or more for security. Picket spacing can be adjusted based on whether you want maximum visibility or more privacy. Some styles incorporate decorative circles, scrolls, or other ornamental details in the panels for added visual interest.
Color and Finish Options
While black is the most popular color for aluminum fencing because it provides a classic, sophisticated look, many other colors are available. Bronze and brown tones work well with earth-colored homes and landscaping. White aluminum fencing offers a clean, traditional appearance similar to painted wood picket fences. Some manufacturers offer colors like green, gray, and beige to coordinate with different home styles.
The finish on aluminum fencing is created through powder coating, a process that creates a durable, weather-resistant surface. This finish won't chip, peel, or fade like paint does. The color goes on evenly and maintains its appearance for many years. Unlike steel fencing which can rust through scratches in the finish, aluminum won't corrode even if the finish gets scratched.
Installation and Care
Professional installation ensures your aluminum fence is properly aligned, securely anchored, and built to last. We set posts in concrete and level each section carefully so your fence looks straight and professional. Gates are hung with precision to ensure smooth operation and proper latching. For pool installations, we follow all local safety codes regarding fence height, gate hardware, and picket spacing.
Caring for aluminum fencing is remarkably easy. An occasional rinse with your garden hose removes dust and dirt. If you're near the coast or use a lot of salt on nearby roads in winter, more frequent rinsing helps prevent buildup. That's really all the maintenance your fence needs. The powder-coat finish protects the aluminum and maintains its color without any painting or sealing.
