The Wrought-Iron Look. Without the Hassle.
Aluminum fencing gives you the classic ornamental look of wrought iron with none of the maintenance. It won't rust. It won't rot. It won't warp. It just stands there and looks sharp for the next 20+ years.
Won't Rust, Ever
Aluminum doesn't oxidize like steel or iron. The powder-coated finish stays clean and crisp through Indiana winters, summer storms, and lawn sprinklers — no repainting, no rust spots, no streaks down your driveway.
Maintenance-Free
No staining. No sealing. No annual upkeep. Hose it off twice a year and your fence looks as good as the day we installed it. Lifetime in your yard, zero hours of work.
Pool-Code Ready
Pick your style, height, post caps, top rail, and finish. Match your home, your neighbor, or your HOA spec.
Stain or Weather It
Customize the color with a stain or sealer or let cedar weather naturally to that beautiful silver-gray.
Four Styles. One Premium Look.
Whether you want classic ornamental, modern minimalist, or pool-code safety — we install all four aluminum fence styles in any color, height, or grade you need.
Classic 3-Rail Flat Top
The most popular aluminum fence in Indianapolis.
Three horizontal rails with vertical pickets and a clean flat top. The workhorse of ornamental fencing — works on almost any home, from traditional to modern. Available in 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft heights.
Best for: Front yards • Property borders • Side yards • All-purpose fencing
Spear Top
Decorative spear tops for an upscale ornamental look.
Same 3-rail construction as classic, but with pointed spear-tip finials at the top of each picket. The closest aluminum gets to wrought iron in looks — at a fraction of the cost and zero maintenance.
Best for: Curb appeal • Historic homes • Estate-style properties • Front entries
Pool-Code
Pool safety code compliant — required by most Indiana pool permits.
Engineered specifically for pool enclosures: no climbable horizontal rails, picket spacing under 4 inches, self-closing/self-latching gates. Most municipalities require pool-code aluminum on any new pool install.
Best for: Backyard pools • Hot tub enclosures • HOA pool requirements • Code-compliant installs
Modern 2-Rail
Minimalist look for contemporary homes.
Two horizontal rails (top and bottom) with vertical pickets and a clean flat top. Sleek, simple, and architectural. Pairs well with modern landscaping and newer construction.
Best for: Modern homes • Architectural builds • Minimalist landscaping • New construction
ALUMINUM VS WROUGHT IRON
Most customers asking about wrought iron actually want aluminum once they hear the differences. Here's why aluminum is the smart upgrade.
Aluminum
The modern standard. Powder-coated aluminum gives you the classic ornamental look at a lower price, with zero rust, zero maintenance, and a lifetime in your yard. Most major aluminum brands carry a lifetime residential warranty against rust and structural defects.
-
20–25+ year lifespan with zero maintenance
-
Will not rust, ever — guaranteed
-
Powder-coated finish in black, bronze, white, hunter green, more
-
30–50% less expensive than wrought iron
-
Lifetime warranty standard on residential grade
Wrought Iron
The traditional choice. Real wrought iron has unmatched weight, presence, and historical authenticity — but it rusts. It requires annual maintenance (wire brushing, primer, rust-paint), it's significantly heavier (harder to install, harder to repair), and it costs 30–50% more upfront.
-
15–25 year lifespan with regular maintenance
-
Will rust without yearly upkeep
-
Limited color options (black, primarily)
-
Significantly higher upfront cost
-
Best for historic restorations and authentic period homes
ALUMINUM FENCE FAQ
How long does an aluminum fence last?
Quality aluminum fences last 20–25+ years with zero maintenance, and most residential-grade brands carry a lifetime warranty against rust and manufacturing defects. The powder-coated finish typically holds its color for 15+ years before any noticeable fading.
Will aluminum rust?
No — aluminum is naturally rust-proof because it doesn't contain iron. The powder-coated finish adds another layer of protection against scratches and weathering. Unlike wrought iron or steel, you'll never see rust streaks down your driveway or orange spots forming on the rails.
What's the difference between aluminum and wrought iron?
Aluminum gives you the same classic ornamental look as wrought iron at 30–50% less cost, with zero rust and zero maintenance. Wrought iron is heavier, more authentic to historic homes, but it rusts without yearly upkeep and costs significantly more. For 95% of homeowners, aluminum is the smarter choice.
Is aluminum strong enough? Won't it bend?
Modern aluminum fence is engineered from heavy-gauge extruded aluminum alloy — much stronger than the thin aluminum people remember from old screen doors. Residential grade handles normal yard use, kids, and pets without issue. We also offer commercial and industrial grades for higher-strength applications.
What's a "pool-code" aluminum fence?
Pool-code (sometimes called BOCA compliant) means the fence meets pool safety code requirements: no climbable horizontal rails, picket spacing under 4 inches, and self-closing/self-latching gates. Indiana cities typically require pool-code aluminum on any new pool install — we'll make sure your install passes inspection.
Can I get aluminum in colors other than black?
Yes — most quality aluminum brands offer black, bronze, white, hunter green, and sandstone. Black is the most popular by far (95%+ of installs), but the other colors are great matches for specific home styles. Powder-coated colors are baked on and don't chip or peel like spray paint.
Do I need a permit for an aluminum fence in Indianapolis?
For pool enclosures, yes — almost always required. For non-pool aluminum fences, it depends on your city and HOA. Many Indianapolis-area cities allow standard residential aluminum fence without a permit, but pool-adjacent installs and taller fences typically require one. We'll walk you through what's needed at your address.
How are aluminum fence posts installed?
We set aluminum posts in concrete just like wood fence posts — typically 30"+ deep, on a gravel base, fully encased in concrete below the frost line. The posts include internal aluminum brackets that connect to the rails. Properly installed, an aluminum fence won't lean, warp, or shift for decades.
Can you match my neighbor's existing aluminum fence?
In most cases, yes. Bring us a photo or the manufacturer name if you know it. The most common brands (Jerith, Ameristar, Specrail) all carry similar profiles, and we can usually match the style, height, and color closely enough that it looks like one continuous fence.
