Aluminum and ornamental fencing in Monroe, LA.

An aluminum picket fence lets you see through it. That is the point on a front yard in Monroe, on a commercial frontage where you want the building visible, and anywhere a solid wall would look like the back of the property facing the street. It will not stop a sightline. If that is what you need, the privacy fence page is the wood or vinyl conversation. Ornamental fence marks the line, keeps a casual cut-through honest, and holds a gate. It is a poor choice for a dog that can squeeze pickets, unless the spacing is chosen for that animal and not for the look.

There is plenty of older steel and iron fence in Monroe and West Monroe, and a lot of it is being painted because it rusts at the joints. Aluminum ornamental fence is what people switch to so the maintenance is hardware and posts, not a wire brush. It is lighter, which is nice to carry and which means the post has to be set properly or the whole run feels flimsy in a wind. We do not describe it as wrought iron. If you have true iron you want repaired, say that, because repair and a new aluminum run are different work.

A walk gate is straightforward if the post is big enough and deep enough. A drive gate is the piece that sags, drags, and gets hit. Width is the decision you cannot undo without moving a post. Measure the vehicle and the trailer, then add room for a bad angle on the way in. On a corner lot, the gate and the fence also have to stay out of the sightline at the intersection. West Monroe and Monroe both treat corner lots differently from a mid-block backyard. The permit guides spell out whose rules apply. Read them before we set a corner post you then have to move.

The usual residential job is a front or side yard that a privacy fence would close off, especially on streets where the house is the thing you want to see. Small commercial lots on the West Monroe side use it along the street and chain-link or a taller fence at the back. Pool surrounds are a different rule set: a fence around a pool has to do a safety job, and the city's pool-barrier rules are not the same as a decorative front fence. We will not guess those on a sales page. If the fence is for a pool, say so on the call and check the permit guide for the city you are actually in. We work from 205 Mane St, Ste C, West Monroe, on both sides of the river.
