What Our Customers Say

Black chain link for the dogs, done in one day. The gate closes on its own and the dogs haven't escaped once.

Dog run fence
The black steel fence and arched gate make our whole front yard look finished. Solid work.
Patricia N.

They explained the corner-lot height rules before we asked and designed around them. Very professional.

Why Aluminum Works Well in the Portland Area

The look of ornamental iron without the rust — for front yards, pools, pets and sloped lots across Portland, Tigard, Wilsonville, and surrounding communities.

An aluminum fence gives you the clean, classic lines of ornamental iron, but aluminum doesn't rust. In a climate with a long wet season, that's a big advantage: no scraping, no repainting rust spots, just a wash now and then. Most aluminum fencing comes powder-coated, usually in black, bronze or white.

Aluminum is lighter than steel, which makes it easy to install and kind to sloped yards. Many panels can be racked to follow a slope instead of stepping down, so there are fewer gaps at the bottom. The open pickets let wind pass through, so storms put less load on the posts than they would with a solid fence.

Aluminum is a popular choice around pools because it stays open to view and pairs well with self-closing, self-latching gates. Pool barrier rules have specific requirements, so for a pool fence we check what applies before we build. For dogs, picket spacing and a tight bottom gap keep smaller pets from slipping through.

What Affects the Cost of an Aluminum Fence

These are the choices and site conditions that change the price.

  • Height and length

    Taller panels and longer runs need more material.

  • Grade

    Residential, heavier residential and commercial grades differ in strength and cost.

  • Style

    Decorative tops, finials and closer picket spacing add cost.

  • Gates

    Self-closing, self-latching hardware for pools adds cost.

  • Slope

    Racked panels or stepped sections depend on how steep the yard is.

  • Mounting

    Posts in soil or mounted to a wall or patio change the install.

Aluminum Fence Questions

Does an aluminum fence rust?
No. Aluminum doesn't rust, and the powder coat protects the finish. That's the main reason people choose it over steel in a wet climate.
Is aluminum strong enough?
For yards, pools and pets, yes. It's lighter than steel, so for high-security spots or heavy driveway gates, steel may be the better fit.
Can it follow a sloped yard?
Many aluminum panels can be racked to follow the slope, which keeps the bottom gap even. Steeper yards may need stepped sections.
Is aluminum good for a pool fence?
It's a common choice. It stays open to view and works with self-closing, self-latching gates. We check the pool barrier rules that apply before we build.
Will small dogs fit through the pickets?
Some can. Closer picket spacing and a tight gap at the bottom help keep small pets in. Tell us about your dog during the estimate.
