Black aluminum is the fence you see around pools, ponds and golf course lots all over the Charlotte area. It keeps the view open, it does not rust in humid air, and its powder-coated finish needs no painting. Many associations that ban privacy fence along a common area or the water will approve it. We install it in the usual residential heights and in heavier grades for commercial sites.
Ornamental steel is the stronger choice. It is used where security or impact matters more, such as apartment communities, business frontages and driveway gates. Steel needs a good galvanized and coated finish to last in this climate, and any scratch should be touched up before rust starts. We will tell you which metal fits the job and why.
Most yards around Charlotte have some slope. Aluminum panels can be ordered to rack, which means the rails follow the grade while the pickets stay upright, so there is no stair-step gap at the bottom. For a pool, the barrier and gate details are inspected, so we build to the pool barrier rules that apply at your address and to your inspector's notes.
Aluminum & ornamental steel in Charlotte: common questions
Will an aluminum fence keep my dog in?
It suits most dogs. Height and picket spacing are what matter. Small dogs can slip through standard spacing, so ask for a puppy-picket panel with closer pickets along the bottom.
Does aluminum fencing meet pool rules in Charlotte?
Pool-grade aluminum panels are made for that purpose, but the height, the gaps and the gate hardware all have to meet the code your inspector applies. We confirm the requirements before ordering.
How is steel different from aluminum?
Steel is heavier and harder to bend, which is good for security. Aluminum is lighter and does not rust. For a home or pool, aluminum is usually enough.
