Aluminum Fence Installation in Chicago & Suburbs

Elegant, rust-free ornamental aluminum fencing for homes and businesses. Fence For Sure Inc. installs premium aluminum fences across the entire Chicagoland area.

Ornamental Beauty Without the Rust

Aluminum fencing delivers the elegant look of wrought iron without the maintenance headaches. Unlike iron and steel, aluminum doesn't rust — ever. It won't flake, peel, or require repainting every few years. The powder-coated finish maintains its rich color and luster for decades, making aluminum the ideal fencing material for Chicago-area homeowners who want a premium look with minimal upkeep. Fence For Sure Inc. installs residential and commercial aluminum fencing from top manufacturers. Our aluminum fence panels feature precision-welded pickets, decorative finials (spear-top, tri-finial, flat-top), and heavy-duty posts that withstand Illinois wind loads. Available in black, bronze, white, and custom colors, our aluminum fencing enhances any property's curb appeal.

Pool Fencing & Code Compliance

Aluminum fencing is the #1 choice for pool enclosures in Illinois, and for good reason. It meets pool safety code requirements in virtually every Chicago suburb — including self-closing, self-latching gate requirements and maximum picket spacing standards. Fence For Sure Inc. installs pool-code-compliant aluminum fencing across Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, and beyond. If you're installing a pool in Naperville, Libertyville, Orland Park, or any other Chicagoland community, we'll ensure your aluminum pool fence meets all local building codes and passes inspection the first time. Our pool fence packages include self-closing gate hardware and child-safe latch systems as standard features.

Residential & Estate Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fencing transforms residential properties with an upscale, timeless aesthetic. It's particularly popular in neighborhoods with strict HOA guidelines — communities in Highland Park, Hinsdale, Lake Forest, and Deerfield frequently specify aluminum or ornamental metal fencing for front yards and perimeter boundaries. Fence For Sure Inc. offers aluminum fencing in multiple grades: residential-grade for standard applications, commercial-grade for high-traffic areas, and industrial-grade for maximum security. We also install custom aluminum estate gates with automated openers, keypads, and intercom systems for luxury properties.

Why Aluminum Over Iron?

Iron and wrought iron fences look beautiful — until they start rusting. In Chicago's climate, iron fencing requires sanding, priming, and repainting every 3–5 years to prevent corrosion. Aluminum eliminates this entirely. It's also significantly lighter than iron, which means easier installation and less stress on posts and footings. The cost difference is meaningful too: aluminum fencing typically costs 20–40% less than comparable wrought iron, with virtually zero maintenance costs over its lifetime. For clients in Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, McHenry County, and Will County who want the look of iron without the ongoing expense, aluminum is the clear winner.

Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Does aluminum fencing rust like iron does?

No — that's the biggest advantage of aluminum over iron. Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, so it won't rust even with road salt exposure during Chicago winters. The powder-coated finish adds another layer of protection and keeps the color looking sharp for decades.

Is aluminum strong enough or is it too flimsy?

It's stronger than people expect. Commercial-grade aluminum fencing is very rigid — you can't bend the pickets by hand. It's lighter than steel, which actually makes installation easier, but it provides excellent security for homes, pools, and commercial properties.

How much does an aluminum fence cost installed?

Aluminum fencing typically runs $30–$55 per linear foot installed, depending on the grade and height. A 150-foot perimeter fence might cost $4,500–$8,250. It's more than chain link but significantly less than wrought iron — with no maintenance costs down the road.

Do I need an aluminum fence around my pool in Illinois?

Illinois requires a barrier around residential pools — and aluminum is the most popular choice. It meets pool code requirements for height, picket spacing, and self-closing/self-latching gates. We install pool-code-compliant aluminum fencing and make sure it passes inspection the first time.

What colors does aluminum fencing come in?

The most popular colors are black and bronze — they look just like wrought iron. We also offer white, which is great for a more traditional look. Some manufacturers offer custom colors if you need something specific to match your home.

Will an aluminum fence look like a cheap metal fence?

Not at all. Quality aluminum fencing with ornamental pickets and finials looks virtually identical to wrought iron — most people can't tell the difference. It gives your property that upscale, classic look without the ongoing rust and maintenance headaches.

How does aluminum compare to wrought iron for the price?

Aluminum typically costs 20–40% less than wrought iron and requires basically zero maintenance. Iron needs sanding and repainting every 3–5 years, which adds up fast. For most homeowners, aluminum gives you the same look for a lot less money over time.

Can aluminum fencing go on uneven ground?

Yes. Aluminum fence panels can be racked (angled) to follow the slope of your yard, so the fence flows with the terrain instead of stair-stepping. Our installers are experienced with hilly properties across the Chicago suburbs.

How long does aluminum fencing last?

With virtually no maintenance, aluminum fencing lasts 30+ years. Most manufacturers back their product with a limited lifetime warranty. Since it doesn't rust, rot, or warp, there's really nothing that degrades it over time besides extreme physical damage.
