Is aluminum fencing durable enough for security and privacy?

Do I need a permit for installing aluminum fencing in Carrollton?

Most aluminum fence projects for residential properties in Carrollton require securing a local permit beforehand. We submit all the necessary paperwork on your behalf for streamlined permit approval through the city. Permitting ensures that your new fencing adheres to specific municipal codes.

What type of aluminum grade should I choose?

We typically recommend a high-quality 6000 series aluminum alloy fence grade for optimal durability and corrosion resistance over time. Grade 6061 aluminum delivers the best value overall, balancing cost, longevity and aesthetics. Other grades like 5052 are more affordable but dent more easily. Higher grades add cost with only marginal added fence lifespan in residential settings.

Can aluminum fencing be painted or have color added?

Yes, we offer aluminum fencing in a spectrum of durable polyester powder-coated colors straight from the factory. This baked-on color finish is superior to standard spray painting. For maximum customization, certain ornamental aluminum fence designs accept dye infused into the metal through a proprietary coloring process for striking, one-of-a-kind aesthetics.

What are the best heights for residential aluminum fences?

Standard aluminum fence heights for suburban yards range from 4 feet to 6 feet. Shorter 3-foot aluminum garden fencing is popular for planting beds. For total seclusion or security, taller custom fence heights up to 8 feet are possible. The optimal height depends on terrain, property lines, existing barriers, pool codes and other factors. Our experts will advise the ideal measurements for your unique space during the site assessment.

How far apart should aluminum fence posts be spaced?

We typically space sturdy aluminum fence posts between 6 to 8 feet apart on center over relatively flat land. More posts set closer together adds stability across irregular landscapes or in high-wind coastal regions. Wider post spacing looks less crowded for more open visibility. Proper aluminum fence post landscaping remains critical regardless of spacing distance.

Should I choose aluminum gates or just leave openings?

Including aluminum access gates allows convenient entry/exit while maintaining security and enclosure continuity. Gates designed to match your custom fence style swing smoothly on durable hinges. Gate quantity, width, placement, locks and handles require thoughtful consideration of daily usage requirements. Gates also facilitate safe pool access.
