Aluminum Fence Contractor

Choosing the right aluminum fence is one of the smartest ways to protect property boundaries, improve curb appeal, and create a long-lasting structure around a yard or pool.

At Stand Strong Fencing of Fort Myers, our team installs aluminum fence systems designed for Southwest Florida’s climate—strong sun, salt exposure, storm flows, and shifting soil types. We work with contractor-grade fence products, high-performance finishes, and installation methods that hold up where DIY kits typically fail.

Whether you are securing a Backyard Fence, upgrading Fences and Gates, or adding safety around a vinyl pool, our installation process covers every detail from fence posts to gate hardware. Homeowners across Lee County and the surrounding Southwest FL region rely on our experience, precision, and ability to deliver aluminum fencing that lasts.

Aluminum Fence Installation

Before a project begins, we assess zoning laws, building permit requirements, storm drainage patterns, and Homeowners Association guidelines. Southwest Florida HOAs often have rules for fence height, fence material type, and approved styles such as flat-top fences, decorative caps, Apex caps, or open-picket Yard & Pool Fences.

We walk the full layout with marking spray to define property boundaries and the planned fence line. Once this is set, we verify gate placement, gate opening width, and locations for gate posts. The strength of an aluminum fence depends heavily on proper planning before the first hole is dug.

Post Holes, Fence Posts, and Foundation Requirements

A solid installation begins with correctly spaced post holes and stable footing. Unlike northern states, Southwest Florida does not require digging to a frost line, but stable footing is still essential for high-wind events and storm flows. Fence posts are set using contractor-grade concrete mix, and we brace each one until fully cured.

Depending on soil type, we may widen the base of the hole or increase the depth to ensure the post can support 4′ x 6′ panels, 4′ x 4′ gates, and other weight-bearing spans. For installations where bolt plate or flanged posts are required—such as on patios or retaining walls—we follow manufacturer specifications and reinforce the surface as needed.

Temporary wooden stakes and a string line guide the entire layout, keeping the fence line straight and square from beginning to end.

Aluminum Fence Panels and Assembly

Aluminum Fence Assembly requires precise measurements and clean workmanship. Fence panels are attached using self-tapping screws or factory fasteners, depending on the brand of aluminum fence systems selected. The assembly and installation process includes:

• Aligning fence sections to account for ground slope
• Ensuring level rails between posts
• Using diagonal braces as needed during curing
• Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder posts
• Securing rails with approved self-tapping screw types
• Adding decorative caps or Apex caps for visual detail

Whether the project involves a small backyard or 200 feet of aluminum fence along a property line, our team applies the same detailed approach.

Gates, Hardware, and Functional Features

A strong gate is as important as a strong fence line. We set gate posts deeper than line posts and reinforce them with additional concrete sets to handle long-term use. Gate hardware—such as gate latch assemblies, striker bars, latch catches, hinges, and drop rods—is chosen to match the fence material type and resist corrosion in humid conditions.

Gate openings are measured precisely so the gate swings smoothly without dragging. When installing double gates, diagonal braces and heavy-duty drop rods help maintain alignment.

Pool Fences and Safety Layouts

Pool fences require specific spacing between pickets and often have additional height restrictions. We verify building permit requirements, gate direction, latch height, and clearances to ensure the system complies with local regulations.

When is Aluminum Fence Replacement or Repair Needed?

If an older fence line has posts that shifted, panels damaged by wind, or gate hardware that no longer functions, our team can restore sections without replacing the entire system. We inspect fence posts, rails, gate posts, and fasteners to identify whether a localized repair or a full rebuild is the better long-term solution.

Why Does Aluminum Fencing Perform Well in SW FL?

Aluminum fences are chosen for their resistance to corrosion, warping, and spray from your backyard sprinkler. Unlike wood or steel, aluminum fence panels and fence sections do not rot or rust, even in coastal environments. Black aluminum products are popular because they offer a clean architectural look with minimal maintenance.

Aluminum fence systems also work well with varied ground slopes and soil types, which is essential in Southwest Florida. Whether you are building along property lines, shaping a yard around landscaping, or creating a clean fence line around a pool, aluminum adapts easily to tight spaces, curves, or height transitions.
