Aluminum fencing gives you the clean, ornamental look of iron with one big advantage in our climate: it does not rust. That makes it a natural fit for pool enclosures, view lots and waterfront homes near Steilacoom and Gig Harbor where salt air eats cheaper metals.
It is light, powder-coated, and racks to follow a slope without stepping, so it holds a clean line on a grade. For a yard where you want security and definition but not a solid wall, aluminum is hard to beat.

Where Aluminum Shines
- Pool and hot-tub safety fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates.
- Waterfront and view lots where salt air rules out bare steel.
- Sloped yards, since aluminum panels rack to follow the grade.
- Front yards and gardens that need a tidy, see-through boundary.
Aluminum and Dogs
Aluminum works for many dogs when the picket spacing and height suit the breed, and it adds a clean look a chain link run cannot match. For large, determined dogs we talk through spacing and whether a different style fits better.
Grades, Gates and Where Aluminum Earns Its Keep
Aluminum fencing comes in grades from a light residential profile up to heavier commercial and pool-rated systems, and the grade should match the job — a decorative garden fence and a tall pool barrier are not the same build. Matching aluminum gates hang on self-closing hinges with latches the code calls for around water. Because the panels rack, a single run can follow a rolling grade without the stair-step look stepped panels give, which is part of why aluminum is such an easy pick for view lots above Chambers Bay or the Narrows where you want the fence to disappear into the view.
Installing an Aluminum Fence
- Confirm the line, height and — for a pool — the barrier-code requirements, then call 811.
- Set posts plumb in concrete at the panel spacing for the grade you chose.
- Rack the panels to follow the slope so the fence holds a clean, continuous line.
- Mount the panels and hang the self-closing, self-latching gate where a pool or pets call for it.
- Check the run, the gate and the latch, then clear the site.
