Aluminum Fences
Elegant aluminum fencing that combines classic wrought iron looks with modern durability and low maintenance.
The Elegance of Aluminum Fencing
If you love the classic look of wrought iron but don't want the maintenance hassles, aluminum fencing is your perfect solution. Modern aluminum fences give you that elegant, ornamental appearance without the rust, the weight, or the constant upkeep that real iron requires.
At SolidRail State College Fencing, we've been installing aluminum fences in State College since 2024. Our customers choose aluminum when they want their fence to be a design feature, not just a boundary. Aluminum fencing adds curb appeal and sophistication while still being practical and long-lasting.
Why Aluminum Outperforms Iron
Old-fashioned wrought iron looks beautiful, but it has serious drawbacks. It's heavy, which makes it expensive to install. It rusts, especially in climates like ours with snow and rain. And it needs regular painting and maintenance to keep it looking good. That's where aluminum fencing changes the game.
Aluminum never rusts. It's powder-coated with a durable finish that lasts for years. It's lightweight, which makes installation easier and less expensive. And it requires virtually no maintenance. An occasional rinse with the hose is all you need. Your aluminum fence will look as good in 20 years as it does on installation day.
Aluminum is also incredibly strong for its weight. Modern aluminum fencing is engineered to withstand wind, impacts, and weather. It won't sag or bend like some people worry it might. The fence sections are designed with reinforced rails and sturdy posts that keep everything rigid and stable.
Aluminum Fence Styles and Options
One of the best things about aluminum fencing is the variety of styles available. You can create exactly the look you want:
- •Classic Picket: Clean, simple vertical bars with flat tops, timeless appearance
- •Spear Top: Pointed tops for a more formal, traditional look with added security
- •Ball Cap: Rounded decorative caps on each picket for elegant detail
- •Puppy Picket: Narrower spacing at bottom to prevent small pets from squeezing through
- •Decorative Rings: Ornamental rings and scrollwork for enhanced visual appeal
You can also choose from multiple colors, though black is by far the most popular because it provides that classic iron look. White is another common choice, especially for picket-style fences in front yards. We can also get bronze and other custom colors if you want something specific to match your home.
Best Uses for Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing is incredibly versatile, but it shines in certain applications. Front yards are perfect for aluminum fences. The open design doesn't block your view of the house, and it creates an elegant entrance that boosts your home's curb appeal significantly.
Ideal Applications:
Pool enclosures where you need secure boundaries that meet safety codes. Gardens and landscape areas where you want definition without blocking sunlight. Property boundaries where you want a classy, upscale look. Terraces and patios to create defined outdoor living spaces. Accent fencing to complement other fence types like privacy fences.
Many of our customers combine aluminum with other materials. They'll use vinyl privacy fencing in the backyard for seclusion and aluminum fencing in the front for aesthetics. This gives you the best of both worlds at a reasonable price.
Aluminum is also excellent for pool safety fencing because it meets most local codes, is easy to see through for supervision, and self-closing gates are available. The durability means you won't have to worry about rust or deterioration around pool chemicals and moisture.
