Add timeless curb appeal and reliable protection to your property with aluminum fencing. Whether you're looking to secure your yard, enclose a pool, or define your property line with something that’s as attractive as it is practical, aluminum fencing is a smart investment. Durable, low-maintenance, and HOA-friendly, it’s one of the most versatile fence types we offer.
Aluminum Fencing 101: Everything You Need to Know
Below, you’ll find details on our aluminum fencing styles, installation methods, customization options, and why Top Tier Fencing is a trusted choice for homeowners and property managers throughout Michigan.
Material Quality & Manufacturing
We only use top-tier aluminum fencing materials manufactured right here in Michigan. That means you're getting a locally made product built to withstand Midwest weather — not flimsy, big-box store fencing that's prone to bending or rusting over time.
All our aluminum fencing is 100% rust-proof and powder-coated for a long-lasting finish. We offer residential, commercial, and industrial-grade options, and even within residential fencing, we don’t just use the thinnest or cheapest materials. Line and corner posts are at least mid-grade, while gate posts are upgraded to heavy-grade for strength and longevity.
Durability & Maintenance
Wood fences can last 15–25 years on average, depending on exposure and maintenance.
Key factors that impact longevity include:
- The material and installation selection (cedar with driven metal posts will last longest)
- Moisture levels and drainage
- Whether or not the fence is sealed or stained
Styles Offered
Aluminum fencing offers a classic and clean look, with plenty of design options to suit any property. Our most popular style is a flat-top 3-rail, but we also offer:
- Flat-top 2-rail
- Spear-top and finial styles
- Arched gate designs
- Pool-code compliant styles for safety

Customization & Design Flexibility
There’s a reason aluminum fencing is a favorite among HOAs and property owners: it’s flexible, clean-looking, and easy to tailor to your needs.
Options include:
Colors: Black, bronze, white, green, or sandstone (tan)
Finishes: Matte or gloss powder-coated — no paint or enamel here, just long-lasting durability
Decorative Options: Choose from arched gates, decorative post caps, rings, finials, scrolls, and more
Custom Gate Widths: Gates can be built to suit walkways, lawn equipment, or even full vehicle access
Standard Picket Spacing: 3 3/16" between pickets
Tight-Spaced Panels: We offer full panels with 1 5/8" spacing for small pet containment or added security, as well as puppy panels at the bottom of standard styles
Grade Adaptability: Panels are rackable and have enough give to smoothly follow slopes, curves, and uneven terrain
Available Heights
Most residential aluminum fencing projects fall between 3 and 6 feet tall, with 4 ft and 6 ft being the most common for pool enclosures or yard perimeters. We also offer commercial and industrial-grade aluminum fences for added height and security needs.
- 3 ft to 6 ft standard residential heights
- Taller options available for commercial and industrial applications
- All styles can be adapted to match local codes or HOA restrictions
Installation Options
Traditional vs no-dig installation
Choose from:
Traditional installation – Concrete-set posts
No-Dig Installation – Driven metal posts (recommended for long-term value)
No-dig aluminum installation is especially popular because:
- It creates a cleaner, faster installation with no dirt piles
- It’s easier and cheaper to repair if a section ever needs to be replaced
- It offers strong anchoring, minimizing risk of frost heave in Michigan winters
- It preserves your yard with minimal disruption
Our crews are trained in both methods and will recommend the best approach based on your property!
Cost & Value
Aluminum fencing is more expensive than wood or chain link but less expensive than high-end vinyl. However, it delivers some of the best long-term value thanks to its lifespan and zero-maintenance needs.
Whether you choose a basic layout or go all-in with decorative upgrades, aluminum fencing is a timeless investment that adds elegance and resale value to your property.
