Aluminum Fencing in Marion County

The Lowest-Maintenance Decorative Fence Option in Ocala

Aluminum fencing gives a property a finished, formal look with essentially no ongoing maintenance. It does not rust, does not rot, does not need painting, and holds its color for decades in Florida sun. A powder-coated black aluminum fence installed correctly will outlast the homeowner in most cases.

Fences R Us installs aluminum fencing for residential properties, pool barriers, and commercial front-of-property applications across five Central Florida counties. Posts go in concrete. Gate hardware is sized for the gate weight and use frequency.

Aluminum fence is part of the Residential Fencing service. For pool barriers specifically, see the Pool Safety Fence page for Florida code requirements. For a heavier decorative option, see the Ornamental Iron Fence page.

Aluminum Fence Grades

Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Grade Aluminum

Residential Grade

Wall thickness of 0.050 to 0.060 inches. Weight of 3 to 4 pounds per linear foot. Used for backyard perimeters, decorative borders, and pool barriers on residential properties. Handles normal residential use well. Not designed for vehicle contact or high-impact commercial use.

Commercial Grade

Wall thickness of 0.060 to 0.080 inches. Weight of 4 to 6 pounds per linear foot. Used for business frontages, parks, and public spaces. More pickets per section and heavier rails than residential grade. The standard for commercial aluminum fence installations in Marion County.

Industrial Grade

Wall thickness of 0.080 inches or greater. Heaviest aluminum fence available. Used on high-security perimeters where aluminum is specified over steel. Not common on residential or standard commercial properties in Ocala but available on request.

What Grade Do I Need?

Residential grade handles most backyard, pool barrier, and decorative applications. If the fence fronts a public street or commercial parking area, commercial grade is a better investment. Manny will spec the correct grade based on the application during the site visit.

Florida Pool Code

Aluminum Fence and Florida Pool Barrier Requirements

Florida law requires a barrier around any residential swimming pool. Aluminum fence is the most popular pool barrier choice in Marion County. It meets code requirements and keeps sightlines open from inside the home.

Florida pool barrier code key requirements: Minimum 48-inch fence height. No opening larger than 4 inches in any direction. No horizontal members on the pool side that could be used as climbing footholds. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching. The latch must be on the pool side or at least 54 inches from the ground. Gates must open away from the pool. Fences R Us installs pool barriers to code on every pool fence job.

Puppy picket or reduced-spacing aluminum fence panels are used on pool barriers to meet the 4-inch opening requirement. Standard aluminum fence panels with larger picket spacing do not meet pool code without modification.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does aluminum fence rust in Florida?
No. Aluminum does not rust. It can oxidize and develop a white powder on the surface over time, but this does not affect the structural integrity of the fence. Powder-coated aluminum has a protective coating that prevents oxidation on the visible surface for many years.
Is aluminum fence strong enough for a residential property?
Yes. Residential grade aluminum fence at 3 to 4 pounds per linear foot handles normal residential use well. It will not take the same impact as steel, but it holds up to normal foot traffic, pets, and weather without bending or breaking under typical residential conditions.
What colors are available for aluminum fence?
Black, white, and bronze are the most common colors in Marion County. Black is by far the most popular for residential properties. Bronze suits properties with warm stone or brick exteriors. White aluminum fence has a formal appearance that works well on traditional-style homes.
Does aluminum fence meet Florida pool barrier code?
Yes, when installed correctly. Florida pool barrier code requires a minimum 48-inch fence height, no opening larger than 4 inches in any direction, no horizontal rails that could serve as climbing aids on the pool side, and a self-latching gate that opens away from the pool. Fences R Us installs pool-compliant aluminum fence on every pool barrier job.
How long does aluminum fence last in Florida?
Aluminum fence lasts 30 years or more in Florida conditions. It does not rot, rust, or require painting. The powder coating protects the surface for 15 to 20 years before it may need a touch-up in high-UV areas. Aluminum outlasts wood and vinyl in Florida conditions when installed correctly.
