Aluminum Fences
Elegant, low-maintenance fencing that combines the look of wrought iron with modern durability.
The Benefits of Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing gives you the classic, elegant look of traditional wrought iron without the maintenance headaches and high cost. We install aluminum fences throughout Ocala for homeowners who want their property to look polished and well-maintained without spending hours on upkeep. If you appreciate the formal appearance of metal fencing but do not want to deal with rust, painting, or constant repairs, aluminum is your answer.
Unlike iron, aluminum will never rust. The powder-coated finish resists fading, chipping, and corrosion even in Florida humidity and salt air. You can hose off your aluminum fence occasionally to remove pollen and dirt, and that is basically all the maintenance required. No sanding, no painting, no worrying about rust spots spreading across your beautiful fence. This makes aluminum particularly valuable in our Central Florida climate where moisture and heat test every outdoor material.
Aluminum fences also offer versatility in design. You can choose from dozens of styles, from simple flat-top pickets to ornate designs with decorative finials and scrollwork. The fencing comes in various heights and colors to match your home architecture and landscaping. Whether you want a traditional black fence around your front yard or a bronze fence along your pool, aluminum gives you options that other materials cannot match.

Aluminum Fence Styles and Design Options
One of the biggest advantages of aluminum fencing is the variety of styles available to match your specific aesthetic preferences and property needs. During your free consultation, we will show you samples and discuss which options work best for your project. Here is what you need to know about the different aluminum fence styles we install in Ocala.
Traditional Picket Styles
Traditional aluminum picket fences feature evenly spaced vertical bars with flat, pointed, or decorative tops. These clean, classic designs work well for front yards, gardens, and perimeter fencing. You can adjust the picket spacing for more or less visibility, though standard 4-inch spacing provides good security while maintaining an open feel. Flat-top pickets offer a contemporary look, while spear-top or ball-top designs add traditional elegance.
Ornamental and Decorative Options
If you want your fence to make a statement, ornamental aluminum fencing includes decorative elements like scrollwork, rings, and finials. These designs often feature two or three horizontal rails with decorative accents at intervals. Ornamental fencing works beautifully for estate-style homes, historic properties, or anywhere you want to add curb appeal. The extra detail costs more than basic picket styles, but the visual impact can significantly enhance your property value.
Pool Fencing Designs
Aluminum is an excellent choice for pool fencing because it meets safety codes, resists pool chemicals and water, and looks great in backyard settings. Pool fence designs typically use narrower picket spacing (no more than 4 inches) to prevent small children from squeezing through. We install self-closing, self-latching gates that meet Florida pool safety requirements. The fence height for pools is usually 4 or 5 feet, depending on local codes.
Color Choices
Aluminum fencing comes in several standard colors including black, bronze, white, and sometimes green or beige. Black remains the most popular choice because it provides excellent contrast against landscaping and works with any home color. Bronze offers a warmer tone that complements earth-tone homes and natural settings. The powder-coated finish is baked on during manufacturing, so the color goes all the way through and will not chip off like paint. If you are considering other premium fencing materials, our vinyl fencing options also offer excellent color choices and durability.
Professional Installation Makes the Difference
Aluminum fencing must be installed correctly to look good and function properly. While the material itself is forgiving and easy to work with compared to other fencing types, proper post placement and panel alignment are critical for a professional result. We have installed hundreds of aluminum fences in Ocala, and we know the techniques that ensure your fence stays straight, level, and secure for decades.
The installation process starts with accurate measurement and layout. We mark post locations according to panel sizes, which typically come in 6-foot or 8-foot sections. Unlike chain-link where you can adjust spacing, aluminum panels are fixed sizes, so precise planning prevents awkward gaps or extra cuts. We dig post holes deeper than minimum standards to account for sandy Florida soil, then set each post in concrete for maximum stability.
Once posts are set and cured, we install the panels using brackets that attach to the posts. Each panel must be level and properly spaced from the ground (usually 2-3 inches for grass clearance). We check alignment constantly as we work to ensure the entire fence line is straight and the tops are level. Gates get extra attention because they need to swing freely while maintaining security. We install all hardware including hinges, latches, and if needed, locks or security features.
The result is a fence that looks professionally installed, which matters more than you might think. An aluminum fence that is slightly crooked or has uneven spacing looks cheap even though the materials are high-quality. When we finish your installation, your fence will enhance your property appearance and provide years of reliable service.
