Aluminum Fences
Elegant, maintenance-free aluminum fencing that combines beauty with lasting durability.
Aluminum fencing gives you the elegant look of wrought iron without the rust, weight, or maintenance hassles. At MCA Merced Fencing, we've seen aluminum become increasingly popular with homeowners who want their property to look upscale while keeping maintenance minimal. These fences add a sophisticated touch to any property, whether you're fencing a front yard, pool area, or entire perimeter.
What makes aluminum special is its combination of strength and lightness. It won't rust or corrode, even in harsh weather. It never needs painting or staining. The powder-coated finish stays vibrant for decades. You get a fence that looks expensive but doesn't require expensive upkeep. For Merced homeowners who want curb appeal and lasting value, aluminum delivers on both fronts.
Advantages of Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum offers a unique set of benefits that make it ideal for many applications. Here's what sets aluminum fencing apart:
- •Will never rust or corrode making it perfect for pool areas and wet locations
- •Virtually maintenance-free requiring only occasional cleaning with soap and water
- •Lightweight yet strong providing security without excessive weight
- •Elegant appearance that enhances curb appeal and property value
- •Durable powder-coat finish that resists chipping, peeling, and fading
- •Works on slopes and uneven terrain where other fences struggle
- •Environmentally friendly as aluminum is 100% recyclable
Aluminum Fence Styles and Designs
Aluminum fencing comes in numerous styles, from classic to contemporary. We'll help you choose a design that complements your home's architecture and your personal taste.
Ornamental Aluminum Fencing
Our most popular style features decorative pickets with finials (the decorative tops), rings, and scrollwork. This style mimics traditional wrought iron but costs less and requires zero maintenance. Ornamental aluminum works beautifully for front yards where you want elegance and visibility. Available in various heights from 3 to 6 feet, these fences make a statement without overwhelming your landscaping.
Pool Code Compliant Aluminum
Aluminum is the top choice for pool fencing because it meets safety codes while looking great. Pool-code aluminum features narrower picket spacing (no more than 4 inches apart) and self-closing, self-latching gates that kids can't easily open. It won't corrode from pool chemicals or constant moisture. We design and install pool fences that pass inspection the first time while enhancing your pool area's appearance.
Flat Top and Spear Top Styles
Flat top aluminum provides a clean, contemporary look with straight picket tops. It works well for modern homes and commercial properties. Spear top (pointed pickets) offers traditional elegance and adds a security element that discourages climbing. Both styles come in multiple heights and can be customized with decorative rings, scrolls, or puppy pickets for pet containment.
Aluminum vs. Wrought Iron and Steel
Many people compare aluminum to wrought iron since they look similar. Here's the truth: modern aluminum fencing looks nearly identical to wrought iron but performs better in almost every way. Wrought iron rusts and requires regular painting and rust removal. It's heavy and expensive to install. Aluminum gives you the same classic look without any of those headaches.
Steel fencing is stronger than aluminum but also heavier, more expensive, and prone to rust. For most residential applications, aluminum provides plenty of strength while being easier to install and maintain. Unless you need maximum security for a commercial or industrial application, aluminum is the smarter choice.
