Products & Customization
We specialize in modern horizontal slat aluminum fence and gate kits — single gates, double gates, and full perimeter systems in heights up to 6 feet. Standard finishes are textured black and white. All sections use the same modular post-and-slat design, so gates and fence panels integrate seamlessly.
That depends on your particular project. In our product descriptions you can see the size and weight of each item.
Each fence panel covers 6 linear feet. Quick math: divide your total perimeter by 6 to get panel count, then add one post per panel plus one extra at the end. Example — 60 ft of fence = 10 panels and 11 posts. Need a takeoff? Call (469) 547-7120 with your dimensions and we can help you.
Yes. Slats can be field-cut to follow grade (rake or step style) and box around trees, AC units, or utility features. Posts mount on adjustable bases so each one can be plumbed independently regardless of slope.
Note: sloping a fence requires intermediate-to-advanced installation knowledge. We don't recommend it as a first project — if this is your first fence install, we suggest sticking to flat or near-flat runs, or using our installer network for sloped sections.
For most homeowners, yes. Aluminum doesn't rot, warp, splinter, or need re-staining. Wood typically lasts 10-15 years with annual maintenance; aluminum lasts 20+ with a hose-down. Wood costs less upfront but more over 10 years once you factor in stain, replacement boards, and labor. The case for wood is mostly aesthetic — a natural look some buyers prefer.
Installation
Yes. Our system is designed for DIY install — no welding, no specialty tools. We recommend two people for any installation. Depending on your skill level, a single gate installation can be done in 4–8 hours, or approximately 3–6 fence panels per day. Skill level: intermediate DIY (if you've built a deck, you can install this). See our Installation Page for the full walk-through.
We highly recommend taking a look at our How To Install page with instructions and videos to see how you can do it yourself. If you still want help, we have a partner network nationwide who can assist with installation. Simply add a note at checkout and we will be in touch with next steps.
Yes. Call (469) 547-7120 or send your property dimensions and we'll return a full quote with bill of materials.

Shipping
We ship to all 48 contiguous states via LTL freight. Most orders deliver in 10–15 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on weight and zip code. Hawaii, Alaska, and international destinations — contact us for a custom freight quote
Your order ships on a pallet via LTL freight. The product does not ship as an already-assembled kit — you will need to build your fence or gate on site using the items provided. Kits arrive as individual pieces: posts, slats, brackets, hardware, and caps. Slats will need to be cut to the right length for each panel, and if desired, posts and gate frames can also be cut to your preferred height.
Codes, Compliance & Safety
Most US municipalities allow 6 ft in side and rear yards, 3–4 ft in front yards. Our aluminum fences and gates are available up to 6 ft. Local codes and HOA rules vary — confirm with your city planning department before ordering.
Yes. We offer pet-safe and pool code compliant options.
We recommend ensuring that your fencing and gates do not have gaps that would allow your pet to get through.
Pool barrier codes vary by jurisdiction, but most US states require pool fences to be: minimum 60 inches tall, no openings larger than 4 inches, no horizontal handholds within 45 inches of grade, and self-closing/self-latching gates with the latch 54+ inches above ground. Our gates and fences can be built to meet or exceed those specifications.
Durability & Maintenance
Significant fading is unlikely. Our powder-coat finish is backed by a 20-year limited warranty against major color shift from the coating manufacturer, and the aluminum substrate is UV-stabilized to resist sun, rain, and salt air. Like any exterior finish, some minor color softening over many years of full sun exposure is possible, but the system is built to hold its color far longer than painted or stained alternatives.
20+ years with minimal maintenance. Aluminum doesn't rust, rot, or warp. Our oldest installations from 2008 are still in service. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty on materials and a 20-year warranty on the powder-coat finish.
Yes. Aluminum is non-combustible — it does not burn, and only begins to soften above 1,100°F. For homeowners in wildland-urban interface (WUI) zones, our fences meet Cal Fire defensible-space recommendations and are an approved alternative to wood fencing under many local ordinances. If you're in a designated fire-hazard zone, this is one of the most effective non-combustible boundary options available.
Yes. Aluminum is impervious to termites and wood-boring insects. The non-porous surface naturally resists mold, mildew, and fungus. No sealing or chemical treatment required.
No. Unlike steel, aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion. No rust, no flaking, no annual sealing — ideal for coastal, humid, or salt-air environments.
Once or twice a year, hose off dust and debris. For tougher stains, use a soft brush with mild soap, then dry with a microfiber cloth. For hard-water spots or mineral buildup, a light vinegar solution — about 10% vinegar to water — works well and is safe on the powder coat.
The aluminum and powder coat won't corrode or fade from water itself, but sprinklers hitting the fence directly can leave hard-water spots, calcium deposits, and mineral staining over time due to impurities in the water. This is cosmetic, not structural, and is not covered under warranty. To prevent it, adjust sprinkler heads so they spray away from the fence. If staining does occur, periodic cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush will remove most mineral buildup.
Warranty
Yes. Products sold on our website are covered by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranties, covering defects in materials under normal use - A 20-year limited warranty on the powder-coated finish, provided by the powder coat manufacturer.
Warranty coverage does not apply to improper installation, misuse, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or damage caused by environmental factors or accidents.
All warranty claims are handled directly through the manufacturer, though we are happy to help guide you to the correct contact if needed.
