What do you need?

What is aluminum and ornamental iron fencing used for?

Aluminum and iron fences have a see-through picket design with a clean, formal look. Owners use them for swimming pool enclosures, front yard borders, courtyards, side gates and hillside lots where the view matters. In Anaheim Hills, many homes back onto canyon views that a solid wood fence would block.

They are not privacy fences. They keep pets and kids in, mark the property line and add curb appeal. If you want some privacy later, planted hedges or climbing vines can grow along the fence.

For anyone looking at aluminum fence installation in Anaheim, the main decision is usually between aluminum and iron. Both look similar once installed. They differ in strength, weight and upkeep.

Aluminum or ornamental iron: which should I pick?

Both are good fence materials, and the right choice depends on the job.

Aluminum

Aluminum does not rust, is lighter and goes up faster. A powder-coated finish stands up well to strong sun. It is a common choice for pool fences and for homes where low upkeep matters.

Ornamental iron

Iron is steel, so it is heavier and stronger. It suits security needs, wide drive gates and designs with scrollwork. It needs a good coating, and touch-up paint where scratches expose bare metal, to stay clear of rust over the long term.

We can show you samples and talk through the picket style, the height and the finish. Black is the most common color, with bronze and white also used. Check with your HOA first if you live in a planned community.

What are the rules for a pool fence?

A pool barrier has to meet safety rules, and they are stricter than for a regular fence. In general, the barrier is about five feet tall, the gaps between pickets are less than four inches, and gates must open outward, close on their own and latch by themselves. California also has pool safety requirements that apply when a pool is built or remodeled.

Details can differ by city and by the age of the pool, so confirm exactly what applies to your property with the City of Anaheim. We build to the rules that apply and explain them in the quote.

If you are weighing a pool fence against something less formal, wood fence installation works for privacy around the yard, but it does not give the see-through supervision that pool barriers are designed for.

Aluminum and iron cost more per foot than chain link and basic wood. The main price drivers are the metal and gauge, the height, the picket style, the number of gates and the slope of the lot. Hillside work with stepped or racked panels takes more time. Custom designs, arches and automatic gates add cost too.

Most residential jobs go in over a few working days. The posts are set in concrete first, and panels or pickets are then fastened once the concrete has cured. Metal fences are made to precise dimensions, so measuring accurately matters. That means a site visit before the order is placed.

On the day, expect digging, welding or fastening and some noise. We keep pools covered or closed off from debris and check that gates close and latch by themselves before we leave.

When should I call about an aluminum or iron fence?

Call when you are building or remodeling a pool, when you want to keep a view, or when you need a fence in front of your house that looks smart and does not block light. It also makes sense for owners replacing an old, rusted iron fence.

If you want privacy and low upkeep instead, look at vinyl fencing. If a gate or a few pickets are the only problem, see our fence repair and gate page. You can also return to the home page for a look at all our Anaheim services.

Questions about fencing in Anaheim

Does aluminum fencing rust?

No. Aluminum does not rust, and a powder-coated finish protects the color against sun and weather. Hardware such as screws and hinges can still wear over time, so we use fittings suited to outdoor use. Scratches in the coating are minor, but can be touched up with matching paint.

Can aluminum or iron fences be installed on a slope?

Yes. Panels can be stepped down the slope in level sections, or racked to follow the grade when the style allows. Steep Anaheim Hills lots may need both. We look at the slope on the site visit and explain how the finished fence will sit against the hill.

Is an aluminum fence strong enough for security?

It deters casual entry and keeps pets in, but ornamental iron is heavier and stronger if security is the main goal. Taller pickets with a pointed top add more. We help you choose the right material and height for the way you plan to use the fence.

Do I need approval from my HOA?

If you live in an HOA, probably yes. Many require approval for style, height and color before any fence goes up. Check the rules or contact the board, and let us know what they require. We can provide product details and drawings to include with your request.

How do I look after an iron fence?

Check it once a year for chips or scratches, and touch up any bare metal with rust-resistant paint. Wash off dust and sprinkler residue. Caught early, small problems stay small, and the fence will last far longer than one that is left alone.
