Open metal picket fence suits Akron front yards, pools and commercial frontages. Aluminum will not rust beside a salted drive, and steel adds strength where it is needed.
Ornamental metal fence gives you a boundary without a wall. You see the garden through it, it suits a front yard, and it is the standard choice around a pool. We install aluminum and ornamental steel in the spear-top, flat-top and plain picket styles that fit Akron's older neighborhoods and its newer suburbs alike.
Aluminum does not rust, which counts for a lot beside a driveway that is salted from December to March. It also racks well, so a panel can lean with a hillside and keep its pickets upright. Steel is heavier and stronger. We suggest it where a fence has to resist a push, such as a commercial frontage, and we use galvanized, powder-coated steel so the finish lasts.
Because it is open, metal picket is often the kind of fence a zoning office will accept close to the street when a solid fence is not allowed. Rules differ from Akron to Hudson to Wadsworth, and we check yours. Call (330) 521-3641 to set up a free measure.
Aluminum & ornamental steel in Akron: common questions
Is aluminum fence strong enough for a yard?
Yes for ordinary residential use, including most dogs and pool barriers. It will not stop a vehicle and a falling limb can bend it. Where strength is the main point, steel is the better material.
Will it rust like the old iron fences around Akron?
Aluminum cannot rust. Modern steel fence is galvanized and powder coated, so it resists rust far better than old painted iron, though a deep scratch should be touched up.
Can it be used for a pool?
Yes, and it is the most common pool fence we install. The panel height, picket spacing and gate hardware have to meet the pool barrier rules your building department applies, so we order pool-rated panels and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware.
