Aluminum Fences

The Elegance of Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fencing offers the classic look of wrought iron without the weight, maintenance, or rust issues. At GuardGate McLean Fences, we install premium aluminum fences that add sophistication and curb appeal to your McLean property while providing security and defining boundaries.

If you love the look of ornamental metal fencing but don't want the hassle of maintaining it, aluminum is your perfect solution. It never rusts, never needs painting, and stands up to Virginia weather year after year with virtually no upkeep. Your aluminum fence will look as good decades from now as it does on installation day.

Why Homeowners Choose Aluminum

Aluminum fencing has become increasingly popular in McLean for several important reasons:

• Never rusts: Unlike iron or steel, aluminum naturally resists corrosion. You'll never see rust stains or deterioration.
• Maintenance-free: The powder-coated finish is baked on and designed to last. No painting or staining ever needed.
• Lightweight but strong: Aluminum is much lighter than iron or steel, making installation easier and putting less stress on posts and gates.
• Elegant appearance: Clean lines and decorative options create an upscale look that enhances your property value.
• Won't obstruct views: Open picket design provides security without blocking sightlines or natural light.
• Longevity: Quality aluminum fencing can last 30-50 years with virtually no maintenance.
• Safe and smooth: No rough edges or splinters to worry about around children and pets.

Aluminum Fence Styles and Options

We offer a wide range of aluminum fence styles to complement your home's architecture and meet your functional needs:

Most aluminum fencing comes in black, white, bronze, and various other powder-coated colors. The finish is UV-resistant and won't fade over time.

Perfect Applications for Aluminum

Aluminum fencing works wonderfully in many situations around your property:

Pool enclosures: Aluminum is the most popular choice for pool fencing. It meets safety codes, looks elegant, and won't rust from pool chemicals or moisture. The open design doesn't block views of the pool from your house, which is important for supervising children.

Front yard accents: Add curb appeal with an aluminum fence that frames your front yard without hiding your landscaping. It's especially popular in neighborhoods with HOA requirements for open fencing.

Garden protection: Keep deer and other animals out of your garden without creating a visual barrier that blocks sunlight.

Commercial properties: Professional appearance that requires no maintenance makes aluminum ideal for businesses, apartment complexes, and office parks.

Installation and Quality

Not all aluminum fencing is created equal. We use commercial-grade aluminum with thick wall rails and heavy-gauge pickets. Cheap aluminum can bend easily and won't hold up to impacts or harsh weather. The fencing we install is designed to last for decades.

Professional installation makes all the difference with aluminum fencing. Posts must be set properly in concrete, sections need to be level and aligned, and gates require precise hanging to operate smoothly. We pay attention to these details to ensure your fence looks perfect and functions flawlessly.

Most aluminum fence installations can be completed in two to three days depending on the size of your project. We work efficiently while maintaining high quality standards.
