Aluminum Fence Calculator
Aluminum ornamental fencing offers the look of wrought iron without the rust. Powder-coated panels come in 6-foot sections and are available in 4, 5, and 6-foot heights. This is the top choice for pool enclosures, as most aluminum fence styles meet BOCA pool safety codes. Available in black, bronze, and white finishes.

Advantages
- Rust-proof and virtually maintenance-free

- Lightweight and easy to handle
Considerations
- Expensive ($25–$40/ft)

Installation Tip
Use a rackable panel design for sloped ground—the pickets pivot within the rails to follow the terrain. Set posts in concrete with a minimum 24-inch depth. Check local pool codes for required gate hardware (self-closing, self-latching).
