Why aluminum beats wrought iron (and the rust)
It never rusts. Period.
Aluminum doesn't oxidize like steel or iron. No orange streaks on the sidewalk, no wire-brushing weekends, no repainting every few springs.
The powder coat is the finish for life.
Baked-on color in black, bronze, or white — it doesn't peel or need touch-ups the way painted iron does.
Pool-code friendly.
Our standard styles meet Illinois residential pool barrier requirements — self-closing gate hardware and all. If the village inspector is coming, this is the fence they like to see.
Keeps the view.
Open pickets mean you fence the yard without walling off the sightlines — ideal for corner lots, ponds, and keeping an eye on the pool.
Light on the yard, tough in the wind.
Rackable panels follow slopes cleanly instead of stair-stepping, and open pickets let Illinois wind through instead of fighting it.

How much does an aluminum fence cost in the surrounding suburbs?
Installed aluminum fence cost lands between $30 and $40 per linear foot in the surrounding suburbs — posts set in concrete, permits pulled, and old fence hauled away included. Here's what that looks like at real yard sizes:
- 100-foot yard, 1 gate: about $3,200–$4,200
- 189-ft typical yard, 2 gates: about $6,000–$7,900
- 200-foot yard, 2 gates: about $6,300–$8,300
- 300-foot corner lot, 2 gates: about $9,300–$12,300
Aluminum sits a hair above cedar per foot and comes out ahead over 10 years because there's no stain, no seal, and no board swaps.

Prefer to spread it out? 12-months-same-as-cash financing turns the number into a monthly one.
Aluminum pool fence installation, done to code
A pool fence isn't a "nice to have" in Illinois — it's what the village inspector signs off on before you can fill the pool. Our flat-top aluminum pool fence is built to Illinois residential pool barrier requirements: 4-foot minimum height, picket spacing that keeps a small kid out, and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware. We pull the permit, so the code stuff is our problem, not yours.
Why aluminum wins around a pool: it never rusts (chlorine and splash-out kill iron fences fast), the open pickets let you keep an eye on the water, and the powder-coated finish shrugs off sunscreen, pollen, and lawn-chemical overspray. Most pool perimeters we install run 100–200 feet with one or two gates — that's a same-day install for our crew, and pricing lands in the bands above.
Doing a new pool or replacing a decayed wood pool fence? Tell the estimator on the walkthrough — we'll spec the height and gate hardware to your village's rulebook and make sure the layout keeps the pool equipment accessible.

Black is 90% of what we install — it disappears into the landscape and makes the yard the star. Bronze warms up brick homes; white pops against dark siding.

What aluminum customers said
"Illinois Fencing did a beautiful job putting up our new fence. With the advice of our salesman we went with the aluminum fence, it makes our yard look a 100 percent better. They were quick putting it up & cleaned up after the installation. If I had to replace another fence I would not think twice about who I would call."

"Amazing Fence Installation! I am absolutely thrilled with the work done by Illinois Fence Company. They installed our aluminum fence in one day, and it looks fantastic! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. The crew was professional, efficient, and cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. A+ service!"
— Maggie, Google review
"Illinois Fence was a pleasure to deal with. From Jason coming out to give an estimate, to Jackie helping with concerns, right down to the crew that came out to remove and install the new fence. Any time I sent a text, I got a response immediately. I've never been more pleased with a company and crew. I will, and have already recommended their services. You guys are World Class in my book."

Fair questions about aluminum fences
How much does an aluminum fence cost?
In the surrounding suburbs, aluminum runs $30–$40 per foot installed — so a 100-foot yard lands around $3,200–$4,300, and 200 feet with two gates is roughly $6,300–$8,300. That's fully installed: posts set in concrete, permits pulled, and old fence hauled away. Ballpark yours on our fence cost calculator.
Will it rust like wrought iron?
No — that's the whole point. Aluminum doesn't rust, and the powder-coated finish means no repainting. The maintenance plan is 'occasionally rinse it.'
Is it strong enough for Illinois weather?
Residential-grade aluminum handles wind, snow load, and freeze-thaw without flinching — and because the pickets are open, wind passes through instead of pushing on panels.
Does it meet pool code?
Our pool-style aluminum is built to Illinois residential pool barrier requirements, including gate hardware. Your village may have its own wrinkles — we handle the permit, so we handle those too.
How do you clean a black aluminum fence?
Garden hose for regular dust, soapy water and a soft cloth for pollen or bird-strike marks. Skip abrasive pads and pressure washers on close range — the powder coat is tough but it's still a finish.
Is aluminum fence cheaper than wood?
Aluminum usually costs a little more than cedar per foot upfront and less than premium composite, but it doesn't ask for stain, seal, or board swaps every few years. Over 10 years, aluminum's total cost is often lower than wood — you just pay it on install day instead of every spring.
Does an aluminum fence add value to your home?
Buyers read a clean, black aluminum fence as 'this yard is done.' It signals a pool-code-ready backyard on pool listings, and it doesn't age visibly the way peeling paint on iron does — so it holds curb appeal instead of becoming the next owner's project.
Will it keep my dog in?
Standard picket spacing keeps most dogs in; for small breeds, puppy-picket style tightens the bottom spacing. Tell the estimator about your escape artist and we'll spec for them.
Aluminum or vinyl — which should I get?
Different jobs. Aluminum keeps the view and meets pool code; vinyl builds a private wall. Plenty of yards use both — aluminum around the pool, vinyl on the lot line.
The iron look. None of the iron problems.
