What Is Aluminum?

Aluminum fences offer the elegant look of wrought iron without the rust and heavy maintenance. They feature vertical pickets with decorative finials and are powder-coated for long-lasting color. Aluminum fencing is lightweight, strong, and ideal for both security and curb appeal. Privacy options include louvered panels and solid infill panels.

Popular Aluminum Fence Colors

Black Aluminum Privacy Fence

The most popular aluminum fence color by far. Black aluminum privacy fences offer a classic wrought-iron look with clean lines that complement any home style and landscaping.

White Aluminum Privacy Fence

A bright, traditional choice that pairs well with colonial and cottage-style homes. White aluminum fences create an elegant, welcoming boundary for front yards and pools.

Bronze Aluminum Privacy Fence

A rich, warm metallic finish that blends with natural surroundings. Bronze aluminum fences are popular for properties with stone, brick, or earth-toned exteriors.
