Powder-coated aluminum is what we install most around pools and front yards — it will not rust, it doesn't block the breeze or the view, and it meets Florida's pool barrier requirements when it's specified correctly.
| Typical yard | Installed estimate |
|---|---|
| 100 ft | $3,150 – $3,700 |
| 150 ft | $4,150 – $4,850 |
| 200 ft | $5,450 – $6,400 |
| 250 ft | $6,750 – $7,900 |
| 300 ft | $8,000 – $9,400 |
Estimates include one walk gate and assume a standard, level run. Tear-out of an old fence, drive gates, slopes, and corner-heavy layouts are priced separately. Your exact number depends on your actual property line — the tool below measures it from county records.
Enter your address and we'll pull your real lot lines from county records, draw the fence on a satellite photo of your property, and price it — then you can book a free on-site measure.
This is the reason aluminum costs more per foot than steel, and near the water it's worth it. Aluminum doesn't oxidize the way steel does, so a scratch in the coating is a cosmetic problem rather than the start of a rust bloom. If you're anywhere near Tampa Bay or the Gulf, that difference shows up within a few years.
Florida law sets specific requirements for residential pool barriers — including a minimum height and self-closing, self-latching gates that open away from the pool. Aluminum is the most common way to meet them without walling off the yard. We build pool-code gates as standard, but confirm the exact requirements for your property with Hillsborough County, since setbacks and screen-enclosure situations vary.
Flat-top is the clean, modern look. Spear-top (also called finial) adds height and deters climbing. Both come in the same rail configurations; the practical difference is appearance and, on taller runs, a bit of cost. Black is by far the most common color here, with bronze and white also available.
Aluminum is the most expensive material on this list per foot, and it gives you no privacy at all — it's a boundary and a safety barrier, not a screen. If privacy is the goal, vinyl or wood will serve you better for less. Many Tampa homes end up with both: aluminum around the pool and along the front, vinyl across the back.
For containment, yes — the pickets are closely spaced and the posts are set in concrete. What aluminum won't do is stop a determined climber, which is where spear-top or added height helps.
It can, and it's the most common material used for it — but compliance depends on height, picket spacing, and gate hardware, not the material alone. We spec pool enclosures to code and confirm the details with the county for your specific property.
It's baked on rather than painted, so it holds up well to sun and weather. Impact can chip it, and unlike steel a chip in aluminum won't spread as rust — it stays a cosmetic mark.
