Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing offers the perfect combination of elegance and practicality. If you want a fence that looks like ornamental iron but without the rust, weight, and maintenance issues, aluminum is your answer. It provides the classic beauty of decorative metalwork with modern durability and virtually no upkeep required.

At Greeneville Fencing Professional, we install premium aluminum fences designed to enhance your property's appearance while providing security and boundary definition. Aluminum fencing is naturally rust-resistant, making it ideal for Tennessee's humid climate and occasional severe weather. Unlike iron fencing that requires regular painting and rust treatment, aluminum maintains its finish and structural integrity with nothing more than occasional rinsing.

Aluminum fences are also surprisingly strong despite being lightweight. Modern aluminum fencing is engineered to withstand impacts and high winds while remaining easy to install and handle. This makes installation faster and more efficient, which can save you money compared to heavier materials. Whether you need a fence for your front yard, around your pool, or to define your entire property, aluminum delivers both beauty and performance.

One of the best features of aluminum fencing is the wide variety of styles available. From simple and functional to ornate and decorative, we offer designs to match any architectural style and personal preference.

Popular Aluminum Fence Styles

• Flat Top: Clean, contemporary fencing with level top rails. This style works well for modern homes and provides a sleek, minimalist look. Flat top aluminum fences are available in various heights and picket spacing options.
• Spear Top: Classic fencing with decorative pointed pickets that evoke traditional wrought iron. Spear top fences add elegance to front yards, driveways, and formal landscapes. The pointed tops also provide a mild security deterrent.
• Loop Top and Finial Styles: Ornamental fencing with decorative loops, scrolls, or finials at the top of each picket. These styles create a sophisticated, upscale appearance perfect for historic homes, formal gardens, and properties where appearance is a priority.
• Puppy Picket: Fencing with closer picket spacing at the bottom to prevent small pets from escaping. This style combines functionality with attractive design and is popular for pet owners who want both security and curb appeal.
• Pool Code Compliant: Aluminum fences designed to meet local pool safety codes, with appropriate height, picket spacing, and self-closing gates. These fences provide security while maintaining an open, attractive appearance around your pool area.

Color and Finish Options

Aluminum fences come in several powder-coated color options, with black and bronze being the most popular choices. Black aluminum fencing has a classic, timeless look that complements most homes. Bronze offers a warmer tone that works beautifully with brick and earth-toned exteriors. White aluminum is also available for a brighter, more traditional appearance. The powder-coated finish is baked on at high temperatures, creating a durable surface that resists chipping, fading, and corrosion.

When choosing fencing materials, it helps to understand how aluminum compares to other popular options. Each material has its place, but aluminum offers unique advantages that make it the right choice for many homeowners.

Aluminum vs. Wrought Iron

Aluminum fencing looks very similar to traditional wrought iron but offers several practical advantages. Iron fences are heavy, expensive, and prone to rust, requiring regular maintenance including scraping, priming, and painting. Aluminum provides the same classic appearance without the rust issues or maintenance demands. It is also significantly lighter, which makes installation easier and less expensive. For homeowners who love the look of iron but want modern performance, aluminum is the clear winner.

Aluminum vs. Vinyl

Both aluminum and vinyl fencing are low-maintenance options, but they serve different purposes. Vinyl is excellent for privacy fencing with solid panels, while aluminum is better suited for decorative fencing where you want to maintain views and airflow. Aluminum is generally stronger and more resistant to impact damage than vinyl. Vinyl can crack in extreme cold or from impacts, while aluminum can bend but typically retains its structural integrity.

Aluminum vs. Wood

Wood fencing offers natural beauty and complete privacy, but it requires ongoing maintenance including staining, sealing, and repairing rot damage. Aluminum requires virtually no maintenance and lasts longer without deteriorating. While wood is better for solid privacy fences, aluminum excels in decorative applications, front yards, pool areas, and anywhere you want lasting beauty with minimal upkeep. The initial cost of aluminum may be higher than wood, but the lack of maintenance costs makes it more economical over time.
