Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing delivers the classic look of wrought iron without the rust, weight, or heavy maintenance that traditional iron demands. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum alloy, these fences are inherently rust-proof — making them the ideal choice for Florida's humid, salt-laden coastal climate. Aluminum fencing is commonly used for pool enclosures, front yard borders, estate perimeters, and decorative property boundaries. At Big Florida Fencing, we have been designing and installing aluminum and ornamental iron fencing across Florida for over 11 years. We are fully licensed and insured, and we take pride in helping homeowners elevate their properties with fencing that is as durable as it is beautiful.

Florida's environment is one of the toughest on fencing materials in the entire country. Between the year-round humidity, intense UV exposure, seasonal hurricanes, and salt air that rolls in from the coast, many fence types deteriorate faster here than anywhere else. Aluminum fencing is engineered to thrive in exactly these conditions. Unlike wrought iron, which will rust and flake without constant repainting, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant and its factory-applied powder coating adds a second layer of protection that stands up to decades of Florida sun and rain.

Beyond durability, aluminum fencing adds undeniable curb appeal. The ornamental picket profiles, decorative finials, and scrollwork options give your property an upscale, estate-style appearance that wood and vinyl simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a simple flat-top design or an elaborate spear-point style, aluminum fencing signals quality and attention to detail — which translates directly into higher property values.

Aluminum is also one of the few fencing materials that meets Florida's strict pool barrier codes right out of the box. Most aluminum fence panels are designed with spacing that complies with Florida Statute 515 and the Florida Building Code requirements for pool enclosures, including the four-inch picket gap rule. When paired with a self-closing, self-latching gate, aluminum pool fencing keeps your family safe while maintaining an open, elegant look around your outdoor living space.

Our aluminum fencing installations follow a detailed, step-by-step process that we have refined across hundreds of projects throughout Florida. Here is how it works:

We handle all permit applications and HOA submissions on your behalf. If your community has specific appearance standards, we work within those guidelines to deliver a fence that gets approved the first time.

Aluminum fencing is the preferred choice for Florida homeowners who want security and boundary definition without sacrificing visibility or style. It is especially popular for front yard perimeters, where an open picket design frames the home without creating a walled-off look. For pool areas, aluminum is often the top recommendation because it meets Florida's strict pool barrier codes while maintaining a clean, unobstructed view of the water.

Estate and acreage properties throughout Florida use aluminum fencing to define long property lines with a refined, consistent appearance. It works beautifully on sloped terrain because the rackable panel design follows grade changes smoothly. Aluminum is also widely used around commercial properties including hotels, resorts, office parks, and gated communities where appearance and longevity both matter.

Additional popular applications include garden borders, courtyard enclosures, balcony railings, and decorative partitions between outdoor living spaces. Wherever you need a fence that looks elegant and lasts for decades without maintenance, aluminum delivers.

Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing typically costs between $25 and $50 per linear foot installed in Florida. The final price depends on the fence grade (residential, commercial, or industrial), panel height, style complexity, number and width of gates, and site conditions such as slopes or rocky ground.

A standard residential aluminum fence for a front yard or pool enclosure (100–150 linear feet) generally falls in the $3,000–$6,000 range. Estate-grade aluminum with decorative finials, arched gates, and custom powder-coat colors will be at the higher end. Commercial-grade installations with taller panels and heavier pickets may exceed the standard range depending on project scope.

Every estimate from Big Florida Fencing is free, transparent, and fully itemized. Our quotes include materials, posts, concrete, hardware, gates, labor, cleanup, and any applicable permit fees. There are no surprises — the price we quote is the price you pay.

One of the biggest advantages of aluminum fencing is how little maintenance it requires, even in Florida's demanding environment. Rinse your fence with a garden hose three to four times a year to wash away pollen, dust, and salt deposits — particularly important for properties near the coast in cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Jacksonville. For stubborn buildup, a soft cloth with mild soap and water does the job.

After hurricane season, inspect the fence line for any panels that may have shifted or gate hardware that needs tightening. Applying a thin coat of automotive wax once a year adds an extra layer of shine and UV protection to the powder coating. With these simple steps, your aluminum fence will look pristine for 30 years or more.
