Grades
Residential, Commercial or Industrial Grade?
Aluminum fences come in grades that differ in picket, rail and post size. Heavier grades cost more and shrug off more abuse.
| Grade | Typical build | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | Lighter pickets and rails, posts sized for 4–5 ft fences | Pools, front yards and backyards |
| Commercial | Thicker pickets, heavier rails and larger posts | HOA common areas, apartment pools, busy yards |
| Industrial | Heaviest pickets, rails and posts | Schools, public areas and spots that take hard use |
Exact sizes vary by manufacturer. Your quote lists the grade and the picket, rail and post sizes. Typical life for aluminum in Oklahoma is 30 years or more.

Questions
Aluminum Fence FAQ — Norman, OK
Is an aluminum fence strong enough?
For most homes, yes. Aluminum is lighter and more flexible than steel, so a hard hit from a car or a falling limb can bend it, but it easily handles wind, kids, pets and everyday bumps. Commercial and industrial grades use thicker pickets, rails and posts for busier places. If you need security or impact resistance, ornamental steel is the stronger choice.
Does an aluminum fence meet pool code in Norman?
It can, and it's one of the most popular pool fences. The City of Norman requires a barrier at least 4 feet tall with no opening a 4-inch sphere can pass through and a self-latching gate. We use pool-rated panels with close picket spacing and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware to meet those rules.
Aluminum or vinyl for a pool fence?
Both work. Aluminum keeps the pool visible from the house, which many parents prefer, and it doesn't block the breeze or the view. Vinyl gives privacy around the pool and hides it from neighbors. Both are rust-free and low maintenance; HOA rules and how much you want to see through the fence usually decide it.
What colors does aluminum fencing come in?
Black is by far the most common, and bronze, white and other powder-coat colors are available in many styles. The color is baked on as a powder coat, so it doesn't need painting. We bring color samples to the estimate.
How do I take care of an aluminum fence?
Rinse it with a hose when it gets dusty, and wash it with mild soap once a year if you like. Aluminum can't rust, so a scratch in the powder coat is only cosmetic; a dab of touch-up paint hides it. Check gate hinges and latches once a year, especially on pool gates.
Can a bent aluminum fence be repaired?
Usually. A bent picket or rail section can often be replaced on its own, and a damaged panel can be swapped out if the style is still made. We match the style, height and color as closely as we can.
Does an aluminum fence get hot in summer?
Metal fences get warm in direct Oklahoma sun, and darker colors get warmer. Aluminum doesn't hold heat as long as steel, and it's rarely an issue for a fence that people don't lean on. For pool gates, we place handles and latches where they're easy to use.
