In a world where everyone has a white picket fence, aluminum allows your home to stand out with a gorgeous, bold look. Homeowners who choose aluminum fences love the distinct and modern style they bring to outdoor d\u00e9cor. When designing your new fence, if you choose aluminum, you have a whole catalog of options for your aluminum fence designs.<\/p>\n
Not only do aluminum fences boast a handful of benefits, like decades of reliability<\/strong> and low-maintenance quality<\/strong>, but they come in a variety of sleek styles<\/strong>. From the hue of the metal to the ornamental style of your pickets, you can design the fence to meet your exact needs \u2014 and express your unique personality.<\/p>\n Learn more about fence maintenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s break down the different aluminum fence designs you can enjoy when you partner with Smucker Fencing.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n A six-foot-tall fence in black aluminum, capped with elegant triad spears to create a standout profile. Or a five-foot-fence in rich textured bronze to match the tan siding of a stucco home. When it comes to selecting your aluminum fence design, the individual choices you make tell the story.<\/p>\n While your admiring neighbors will just see a finished fence that completes the look, you\u2019ll see all of the choices that made it come together perfectly. Here are the 5 major aluminum fence design choices to create your showpiece fence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Height of the Fence <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n One of the most important choices you can make about your fence, the height of your aluminum fence depends on the job you need it to do.<\/p>\n If you only need your fence to look stunning and impress your neighbors (which is A-Okay in our book), you can opt for a shorter fence. If you need to keep your big dog in the yard, or keep deer out, you\u2019ll need a taller fence<\/strong>. For stopping deer and rambunctious pups, we recommend a 72-inch fence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In some areas, however, taller fences are the norm for everyone. In the Philadelphia Main Line area, for example, we hardly ever install a fence shorter than six-feet.<\/p>\n We offer fences with the following heights: 36 inches, 42 inches, 48 inches, 55 inches, 60 inches, and 72 inches.<\/p>\n\n 2. Residential or Commercial Grade<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The next choice you make when selecting your aluminum fence is between residential and commercial grade. While it might seem obvious as a homeowner to choose residential, there are many reasons why you might want to pick commercial instead. In fact, many homeowners design using commercial grade fences every year.<\/p>\n The grade of fence determines 3 major things:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Style and Number of Rails<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In addition to adding support to the pickets, the horizontal rails are primarily a stylistic feature. Between 2 and 4 rails is common to see on modern aluminum fences<\/strong>, generally the more rails the more ornamental the design looks.<\/p>\n When deciding on the style, we recommend these 3 popular aluminum fence designs:<\/p>\n Check out our gallery of aluminum fences<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Finials and Post Caps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If your fence design features exposed picket tops \u2014also called finials\u2014 you can choose an ornamental shape to make your fence stand out even more.<\/p>\n All 3 look nice on any fence, and it comes down to personal choice. Here are the finial options from which you can choose:<\/p>\n You can also decorate the caps on your fence posts too. The most common post cap shapes include: standard flat caps <\/strong>and ball caps<\/strong>.\u00a0 These decorative touches can also be included on gate posts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. Color <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Color is one of the final touches that can allow your fence to show-off your design personality. Far and away, the most common color choices are satin black and textured bronze.<\/strong><\/p>\n When deciding on their color, most homeowners like to match accents such their door and window trim \u2014 or by picking a color complementary to their siding. The cool hue of satin black is great because it matches basically any style house you can think of from classic to contemporary.<\/p>\n The textured bronze adds extra pizzazz to certain unique-colored homes. Stucco and stone tend to pop when matched up with a bronze-colored aluminum fence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ready to start designing the aluminum fence of your dreams?
