Aluminum Fences

The Look of Wrought Iron Without the Hassle

Aluminum fencing gives you the classic, elegant appearance of wrought iron without the rust, maintenance, or high cost. It's lightweight yet surprisingly strong, and it never needs painting. For homeowners who want a sophisticated look with zero upkeep, aluminum is the perfect choice. It's equally at home around a pool, defining a front yard, or securing a commercial property.

At StrongPost Hollister Fence Builders, we've installed aluminum fencing throughout Hollister and San Benito County since 2024. We see it most often around pools, where it provides the required safety barrier while looking attractive. But aluminum works anywhere you want a clean, upscale appearance. It comes in dozens of styles and colors, so you can customize it to match your property perfectly.

Advantages of Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum offers a unique combination of benefits:

• Never rusts - Unlike iron or steel, aluminum won't rust even in wet conditions. Perfect for pool areas and coastal properties.
• No maintenance - The powder-coated finish is baked on at the factory. It won't chip, peel, or fade. Never needs repainting.
• Elegant appearance - Looks like expensive wrought iron but costs much less and requires no upkeep.
• Lightweight yet strong - Easy to install on slopes and uneven terrain. Strong enough for security applications.
• Pool code compliant - Meets California pool safety regulations with self-closing, self-latching gates.
• Eco-friendly - Aluminum is recyclable and manufactured with less environmental impact than many other materials.

Aluminum costs more than chain-link but less than wrought iron. When you consider the lifetime value with zero maintenance, it's one of the smartest fencing investments you can make.

Styles, Colors, and Customization

Modern aluminum fencing comes in an impressive range of styles. You can choose from traditional picket designs, ornamental styles with decorative finials and rings, or sleek contemporary looks. Heights range from 3 feet for decorative borders up to 8 feet for security and privacy applications.

Color options include black, bronze, white, and various earth tones. Black is the most popular because it has that classic wrought iron look. The powder-coated finish is incredibly durable and won't fade even under Hollister's intense summer sun. You can also add decorative elements like finials, scrollwork, and rings to create a custom look that reflects your style.

For pool fencing, we install self-closing, self-latching gates that meet all California safety codes. These gates close and lock automatically, providing critical safety for families with young children. We can match your pool fence to your perimeter fence for a coordinated look, or create a distinct style for the pool area.

Perfect for Hollister Properties

Aluminum performs beautifully in California's climate. It doesn't expand and contract like vinyl, it won't rot like wood, and it doesn't rust like iron. The powder-coated finish is specifically designed to handle UV exposure without fading. Aluminum also works great on sloped or uneven terrain because it's easy to rack sections to follow the grade of your property.

We see aluminum fencing used for pools, front yards, commercial properties, and perimeter security. It's especially popular in upscale neighborhoods and HOA communities because it adds property value and meets aesthetic standards. If you're comparing options, our vinyl fencing offers privacy while aluminum provides an open, elegant look. Both are low-maintenance, so it comes down to the style you prefer.

Like all our services, aluminum fence installation comes with professional-grade materials and expert installation. We set every post in concrete and ensure perfect alignment and spacing. Your aluminum fence will look great and function perfectly for decades. Interested in other fencing styles? Check out our complete fence installation services to explore all your options.
