If you want the look of metal without the headaches, aluminum is hard to beat. It is more durable than wrought iron or steel, more affordable than either, and it holds up in Florida better than most people expect. A little background helps before you choose.
Aluminum does great in Florida because the aluminum base will not rust, so you are not fighting corrosion year after year the way you would with steel or iron. It also stays low on maintenance for a simple reason. Our steady breezes pass right between the pickets instead of pushing against a solid panel, so there is less strain on the fence to begin with. The finish is where aluminum really earns its keep. Our aluminum fences are powder coated, a tough baked on finish that keeps its color through relentless sun and salt air and does not flake the way cheap paint does. Black is the most common choice, but we can match a color to your home or go bold to make a statement. And like every fence we build, the posts are set in concrete footers, so the fence stays straight and level through storm season and long after.
Aluminum works for both homes and commercial properties, and the height you pick changes the job it does. Taller aluminum fencing is popular around pools and for keeping pets and kids safely in the yard, while shorter styles make a clean decorative border around landscaping and flower beds. You get real choice in the look, too. Go with flat tops for a simple modern line, the more ornate spear top for curb appeal, or a mix of the two, with spears arranged staggered, concave, or convex. Heights typically run from three feet up to twelve feet depending on the application. It is the rare fence that can guard a pool one day and dress up a front entrance the next. Weighing your options?
