Why Choose Aluminum Fencing?
Aluminum fences are known for their powder-coated, rust-resistant finish, which means they can stand up to Nashville’s humid, varied climate without warping or rusting. This type of fence requires little to no maintenance compared to wood or wrought iron and is a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking both security and aesthetics. Because aluminum fences are lightweight and durable, they also adapt well to the slopes and hills often found around Nashville, Franklin, and other areas in Middle Tennessee.
Benefits of Aluminum Fences in Middle Tennessee
Aluminum fences offer several advantages that make them a great fit for Tennessee homes:
- Weather Resistant: Powder-coated aluminum is incredibly rust-resistant, making it a solid choice for Nashville’s unpredictable weather.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, aluminum won’t rot or need staining, and unlike iron, it won’t rust.
- Style Flexibility: Available in a range of designs, aluminum fences can suit any home style, from modern to traditional.
- Increased Curb Appeal: They add elegance and security, boosting the overall look and value of your property.
Style Options for Aluminum Fences
Aluminum fences come in a wide array of styles with customization options to suit your property’s specific style. Here’s a quick rundown of the styles and upgrades available:
- Classic Picket: Timeless, upright pickets that add a traditional touch.
- Puppy Pickets: Narrower gaps at the bottom to keep small dogs safe.
- Double Pickets: Provides extra security and a refined look.
- Decorative Finials: Add flair with ornamental finials on top of each picket.
- Rings and Scrolls: For a more ornate look, rings and scrolls add a touch of elegance.
- Custom Colors: While black is a favorite, custom colors are available to match your home’s exterior.
For those who want a seamless look, each aluminum fence style has a matching or complimentary gate style, providing both a functional entry point and continuity in design.
Installation Process for Aluminum Fences
One of the key factors to a durable aluminum fence is a solid installation. Here at Heron Building Co, we begin by mapping out the fence line to ensure every inch is covered just as planned. We dig holes to set each fence post securely in high-strength concrete, ensuring stability that lasts. The posts are spaced evenly, and each fence panel is meticulously set to create a uniform look.
Aluminum Fences for Pool Enclosures
In Nashville and Franklin, aluminum fences are often the go-to choice for pool enclosures. They meet Tennessee pool safety codes, making them a secure and stylish way to keep pool areas safe for kids and pets. Thanks to their rust-resistant, low-maintenance nature, aluminum pool fences stay strong and look fresh, even when constantly exposed to water. They also maintain clear sightlines, so you can enjoy views of the pool area while ensuring privacy and safety.
