Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing brings together classic elegance and modern durability in a way few materials can match. These fences offer the sophisticated look of wrought iron without the weight, cost, or rust problems. If you want a fence that enhances your property's curb appeal while requiring virtually no maintenance, aluminum deserves your attention.

At MVF Mountain View Fencing, we install premium aluminum fencing systems for discerning homeowners throughout the Bay Area. From decorative front yard borders to secure pool enclosures, aluminum fences add value and beauty that lasts for decades with minimal care.

The Advantages of Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum has become increasingly popular for good reasons. Here's what makes these fences stand out:

• Will never rust or corrode making it ideal for California's varied climate
• Requires zero maintenance beyond occasional washing with a garden hose
• Powder-coated finish won't chip, peel, or fade maintaining beauty for decades
• Lightweight but surprisingly strong withstanding impacts that damage other materials
• Won't warp, crack, or rot like wood fences do over time
• Eco-friendly and recyclable when eventually replaced after many decades

The upfront cost of aluminum falls between wood and wrought iron, but the lifetime value is exceptional. You get the look of expensive iron fencing without ongoing maintenance costs or rust concerns.

Aluminum Fence Styles and Designs

Modern aluminum fencing comes in an impressive range of styles to match any architectural aesthetic. Ornamental designs with decorative finials and scrollwork create an elegant, estate-like appearance perfect for front yards and formal gardens.

Simple picket-style aluminum fences offer clean lines and classic appeal for properties with traditional or contemporary design. These work beautifully to define property lines while maintaining an open, welcoming feel. The spaced vertical pickets provide security without creating a barrier feel.

For pool areas, we install aluminum fencing that meets all safety codes while looking attractive. Pool-specific aluminum fences include self-closing gates and proper spacing between pickets to prevent children from climbing through or getting stuck.

Color options typically include black, bronze, white, and various earth tones. The powder-coat finish provides durability far superior to paint while offering a factory-fresh appearance that lasts. Heights range from decorative 3-foot borders to secure 6-foot perimeter fences, with custom heights available for special applications.

Installation and Long-Term Care

Aluminum fence systems use pre-fabricated panels that speed installation without sacrificing quality. The modular design allows for adjustment to follow terrain contours and accommodate slopes that would challenge other fence types.

Posts can be mounted in concrete for maximum stability or installed with special brackets for applications where ground conditions make concrete impractical. We assess your property and choose the mounting method that provides optimal strength and longevity.

Unlike wood fences that need regular sealing, aluminum requires almost no upkeep. An occasional spray with the hose removes dust and pollen. For stubborn dirt, mild soap and water restore the original luster. That's it. No painting, no rust treatment, no board replacement, no ongoing costs.

If a section gets damaged, individual panels can be replaced easily. The factory finish matches perfectly since the powder coating is color-consistent. This makes repairs essentially invisible, maintaining your fence's uniform appearance.
