Aluminum ornamental fencing delivers the architectural elegance of traditional wrought iron — the classic black picket-and-rail silhouette that works on everything from historic homes to modern builds — without the rust, the weight, or the ongoing painting. Modern powder-coated aluminum is engineered to withstand Chicago weather for 30+ years with no maintenance beyond an occasional rinse, and it meets pool-code requirements out of the box when sized and spaced correctly.
Dynasty Restoration installs aluminum ornamental fencing from major manufacturers (Jerith, Ideal, and similar) throughout Chicagoland. We handle front-yard perimeter fencing, pool enclosures, estate-style driveway fencing, and commercial applications. Panel styles range from simple flat-top to decorative spear-top, scrolled, and multi-rail designs.
Common Aluminum Fence Applications
Front Yard / Curb Appeal
Low (3–4 ft) ornamental perimeter fencing that defines the yard without blocking the view. Huge curb-appeal impact.
Pool Enclosures
4–6 ft aluminum with self-closing/self-latching gates. Meets Illinois pool barrier code (picket spacing, gate hardware, total height).
Estate & Driveway Entry
Tall ornamental panels with matching driveway gates (manual or automated). Premium presentation for high-end homes.
Dog-Safe Picket Spacing
Tighter-pitch pickets at the bottom of the panel to prevent smaller dogs from slipping through, standard spacing above.
Commercial / Industrial
Heavier-gauge aluminum with anti-ram rails for commercial security perimeters.
Pool-to-House Compliance
Integration with the house wall and doorways to meet IRC pool barrier requirements — often the tricky part of pool code compliance.
Aluminum vs. Traditional Wrought Iron
Real wrought iron fencing is historically beautiful but has real downsides: it rusts (requiring paint every 3–7 years), it's heavy (posts and footings need to be sized up), and good wrought iron is increasingly expensive to source. Aluminum ornamental gives you the same visual language — pickets, rails, spear tops, scrollwork — with a powder-coated finish that never rusts, never needs paint, and lasts decades with no maintenance. The cost is also usually 30–50% less than comparable wrought iron.
