Aluminum & SteelOrnamental Fences

Powder-coated ornamental aluminum and steel fences and gates for homes, pools and communities. Installed and fabricated by Expert Fence in Alexandria, VA.

What we provide

Aluminum & Steel Ornamental Fences

Ornamental aluminum and steel give you security and a clean, finished look without blocking the view. They are the standard choice for pool enclosures, front yards, community entrances and anywhere a wood or vinyl wall would feel too heavy.

Because Expert Fence has its own fabrication and welding shop in Alexandria, we do more than install stock panels: we build custom gates, cut and weld sections to fit difficult openings, and repair and refinish existing ornamental fences.

Common questions

Aluminum & Steel Fences FAQ

Aluminum is light, cannot rust and needs almost no maintenance, which is why it is the usual residential choice. Steel is stronger and heavier, used where security or a heavier traditional profile matters, but its finish must be kept intact to prevent rust.

Yes. Aluminum panels rack, meaning the panel tilts to follow the ground with no stepped gaps, which makes it one of the best options for sloped yards.

It is the standard choice. Properly specified aluminum fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates meets pool barrier codes while keeping the pool visible.

Usually. Ornamental steel tends to fail at the base where the post meets the concrete. We cut out the failure, splice in new material and refinish it. See our fence repair page.

Wash it once a year and touch up any chips in the powder coat with matching paint so the bare metal does not oxidise.
