Fence Types
Aluminum Fence Installation in Maine
Elegant, low-maintenance fencing for pools, front yards, and decorative applications.
Aluminum Fencing overview
Aluminum gives you the look of ornamental iron without the rust or the upkeep. It is the fence people choose when they want a defined boundary but still want to see the yard, the water, or the landscaping behind it.
It is also the most common choice around pools, where an open-picket fence with self-closing, self-latching gates is usually what's expected.
Advantages
- Powder-coated finish resists rust and doesn't need painting
- Keeps sightlines open
- Racking panels follow gentle slopes
- Black, bronze and white finishes with several picket styles
- Light enough to make wide gates practical
Things to consider
- No privacy — it defines a boundary, not a screen
- Not a barrier for small pets that can slip between pickets
- Higher per-foot cost than chain link
- Hard impacts can bend a picket, though sections are replaceable
Best applications
- Pool enclosures
- Front yards and entry sections
- Properties with a view worth keeping
- Landscaped areas and garden borders
Available styles
- Flat-top pickets
- Spear / finial top
- Puppy-picket bottom rail for smaller dogs
- Pool-style panels with appropriate picket spacing
- Arched or matching gate panels
Maintenance
- Rinse to remove pollen and road salt
- Inspect gate latches, especially pool self-latching hardware
- Touch up chips in the powder coat if they occur
Maine weather considerations
- Powder-coated aluminum handles coastal salt air better than most metal options
- Post footings still need frost-depth attention
- Snow slides off open pickets easily, which helps on tight side yards
Gates
Self-closing, self-latching pool gates, standard walk gates, and double or wide driveway gates with optional automation-ready posts.
Residential uses
Pool enclosures, front-yard boundaries, garden sections and decorative accents near entries.
