Is aluminum fence cheaper than wrought iron?

Yes. Aluminum fencing gives you the same ornamental, wrought-iron look for less money and far less upkeep. Real wrought iron is heavier, more expensive to fabricate and install, and it rusts, so it needs sanding and repainting for life. Aluminum never rusts and the color is baked on, so once it's up your maintenance is basically zero. We'll price your aluminum fence against your other options during a free estimate.

Does aluminum fencing rust?

No. Aluminum does not rust, that's the main reason homeowners choose it over iron and steel. The pickets and rails are aluminum, then powder-coated in a baked-on finish (usually black or bronze). It won't rot, warp, or corrode in our humid Mississippi and Tennessee weather, and it holds its color for decades with nothing more than an occasional rinse.

Can aluminum fence be used around a pool?

Yes, aluminum is one of the most popular pool fence materials. We install pool-code aluminum fences that meet local safety requirements for height, picket spacing, and bottom clearance, with self-closing, self-latching gates. Because aluminum won't rust, it holds up to pool chemicals, splash, and humidity far better than iron or steel.

Can aluminum fence be installed on a slope?

Yes. Aluminum fence panels are rackable, meaning they flex to follow the grade of your yard so the fence steps down a slope without leaving big gaps underneath. That makes aluminum a great fit for the rolling lots common around Hernando and Olive Branch, where a rigid panel would leave awkward triangles along the ground.

What colors and styles does aluminum fence come in?

Aluminum fencing comes in powder-coated colors, black is the most popular, followed by bronze and white. Styles include flat-top (clean, modern picket line), spear-top or finial-top (classic ornamental look), and puppy-picket panels with tighter spacing along the bottom to keep small pets in. We'll help you match a color, height, and style to your home and any HOA guidelines.

Why choose ornamental aluminum fencing

Aluminum fencing is the choice when you want the fence to look good and then get out of your way. Here's why homeowners around Hernando, Southaven, and Olive Branch pick it:

It never rusts. Aluminum simply doesn't corrode. Unlike iron or steel, you'll never sand a rust bubble or touch up a flaking rail, even in our humid, wet climate.
Almost zero maintenance. The color is a baked-on powder coat, not paint. Hose it off once in a while and it looks new. No staining, no sealing, no repainting.
Elegant, high-end look. Slim black or bronze pickets read as ornamental iron and lift your curb appeal instantly.
It doesn't block your view. Open pickets define your property and contain pets and kids while keeping sightlines to your yard, landscaping, or the street.
Long-lasting. A quality aluminum fence holds up for decades with no structural upkeep.

Aluminum fence styles & grades

Not all aluminum fence is the same. We help you match the right grade and style to how you'll actually use it.

Residential vs. commercial grade

Residential grade aluminum is perfect for most homes, yards, gardens, decorative boundaries, and standard pool enclosures. Commercial grade (heavier rails and thicker pickets) is built for higher-traffic gates, bigger properties, and business perimeters that need extra strength. If you've got a wide driveway gate or a lot of foot traffic, we'll spec up the grade so it stays solid for years.

Picket styles

Flat-top gives a clean, modern picket line, level tops, no points. Spear-top (finial-top) adds the classic ornamental points for a traditional, wrought-iron feel and a little extra deterrence. Puppy pickets add tighter picket spacing along the bottom of the panel so small dogs and pets can't slip through.

Colors

Black is far and away the most popular, it disappears against landscaping and reads as classic iron. Bronze is a softer, warmer option that pairs well with brick and stone, and white gives a brighter, more traditional look. The powder-coated finish means the color won't chip or fade like paint.

Pool-code aluminum fences

Aluminum is one of the best materials you can put around a pool, it won't rust from splash, humidity, or pool chemicals, and it looks great doing it. Just as important, it can be built to meet pool safety codes.

We install pool-code aluminum fencing with the right height, picket spacing, and bottom clearance to satisfy local barrier requirements, plus self-closing, self-latching gates so the gate can't be left open behind you. If your project is a pool enclosure, tell us up front and we'll build it to code from the start, no surprises at inspection.

Aluminum vs. wrought iron & vinyl

People shopping for an ornamental fence usually weigh aluminum against wrought iron. People wanting low maintenance often weigh it against vinyl. Here's the honest breakdown:

Aluminum vs. wrought iron

They look nearly identical from the curb, but wrought iron rusts, and aluminum doesn't. Iron is heavier, costs more to fabricate and install, and needs sanding and repainting for the rest of its life to fight corrosion. Aluminum gives you that same elegant look with none of the rust battle. Pick real iron only if you specifically need maximum security strength or a custom hand-forged design; for almost every home, aluminum is the smarter buy.

Aluminum vs. vinyl

This one comes down to what you want the fence to do. Aluminum is open-picket, decorative, keeps your view, and is the go-to for front yards and pools. Vinyl is solid-panel, it's for privacy, blocking sightlines and wind in a backyard. If you want to see through it and keep it elegant, choose aluminum. If you want to block the neighbors, choose vinyl fencing instead.
