Aluminum fencing gives a front yard or a pool area a clean, open edge. It doesn't rust the way steel does, and black powder-coated panels look much like iron.
Where it fits
- Pools: Albany requires a pool fence at least 4 feet high; aluminum pool panels are a common way to meet it.
- Front yards: open designs keep the house visible.
- Corners: even an open fence should respect the corner visibility band between 3½ and 15 feet within 20 feet of the corner.
Price
Angi lists aluminum at $17 to $90 per linear foot nationally.
