Why Choose Aluminum Fencing?
Aluminum provides the appearance of ornamental metal fencing with relatively little maintenance. Its powder-coated finish doesn't require routine painting or staining, and the open design helps preserve views across the property.
Aluminum can be a good option for:
Backyards and property lines
Swimming pools
Dogs and pets
Front and side yards where permitted
Gates and access points
Residential and commercial properties
Aluminum Fencing for Wildwood's Open Properties
Many Wildwood properties have larger yards, wooded surroundings, slopes or views that homeowners don't necessarily want to hide behind a solid fence.
Aluminum creates a defined boundary while keeping the property visually open. It can also work well with changes in grade, making it worth considering for properties where the fence line crosses sloped or uneven ground.
Aluminum Fencing for Dogs
Aluminum fencing can provide a secure boundary while allowing visibility through the fence.
The appropriate height and picket spacing depend partly on the size and behavior of the dog. For smaller dogs, spacing between pickets and beneath the fence can be especially important.
We can take pet containment into account when planning the fence and gate layout.
Aluminum Pool Fencing in Wildwood
Aluminum is a popular material around swimming pools because it provides a barrier without blocking visibility into the pool area.
However, not every aluminum fence automatically meets pool-barrier requirements. Fence height, openings and gate design all matter.
Pool fencing can involve additional requirements and permitting, so the specific fence and gate configuration should be planned around the requirements that apply to the property.
Front-Yard Aluminum Fencing in Wildwood
Aluminum can also be a good material to consider when fencing is proposed toward the front of a property.
Wildwood requires fencing within the minimum front yard to have an opaque value of 60% or less. Because ornamental aluminum fencing is mostly open, it can fit this type of location better than a solid privacy fence.
Fence placement still matters. Wildwood restricts fencing within required sight-distance areas and generally requires fences to remain at least 10 feet from the edge of street pavement.
Aluminum Fence and Gate Repair
An existing aluminum fence doesn't always need complete replacement when part of it becomes damaged.
Depending on the fence system and availability of compatible material, we may be able to repair or replace posts, rails, pickets, fence sections, gates or hardware.
We can also evaluate aluminum gates that sag, drag or no longer latch properly before recommending replacement.
Do You Need a Permit for an Aluminum Fence in Wildwood?
Wildwood generally requires Municipal Zoning Authorization before installing a fence.
For fences less than six feet high, the City states that a separate building permit is generally not required, but zoning authorization is still required. Fences over six feet and fencing associated with swimming pools can involve additional permitting.
HOA and subdivision requirements can also be stricter than the City's rules, so those should be reviewed before the final fence layout is selected
