Aluminum is the right call anywhere you want security and a sight line at the same time: front yards, lake and canal frontage, pool enclosures and community perimeters. Unlike steel or wrought iron, aluminum cannot rust — a real advantage two miles from Biscayne Bay salt air.
We install architectural-grade extruded aluminum with a baked-on AAMA 2604 powder-coat finish in black, bronze and white, in flat-top, spear-top, and flush-bottom styles from 4 to 6 feet tall. Residential grade is fine for most yards; we step up to industrial grade with heavier pickets and rails for commercial lots, HOA perimeters and driveway gate returns.
For pool enclosures, we build to Florida Building Code residential pool barrier requirements: minimum 4-foot height, no more than 4-inch gaps between pickets, no external horizontal climbing rails, and self-closing, self-latching gates that swing away from the water with the latch at least 54 inches off the ground.

How the job runs
- 1Design and measureWe match picket style and height to your community standard and mark gate locations and swing direction.
- 2Permit and pool reviewPool enclosure permits are reviewed against the Florida Building Code barrier section; we handle the filing.
- 3Layout and postsPosts set in concrete, or core-drilled and grouted into existing concrete pool deck when required.
- 4Panels and gatesPanels racked to grade, self-closing gate hardware installed and adjusted to close and latch from any open position.

Aluminum / Ornamental questions
Is aluminum fence strong enough for a security fence?
Commercial-grade aluminum with 1-inch pickets and 4-inch posts provides real perimeter security and passes commercial wind-load calculations. Residential grade is intended for enclosure and code compliance rather than forced-entry resistance.
Does aluminum fence meet Miami-Dade pool code?
Yes, when built as a barrier: at least 4 feet tall, gaps no wider than 4 inches, no exterior climbing rails, and a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens away from the pool with the latch 54 inches or higher.
Will the finish fade in the Florida sun?
A baked AAMA 2604 powder-coat finish carries a lifetime warranty against chipping, peeling and excessive fade. Rinsing salt film off twice a year is the only maintenance we recommend.
