Estimates only — not a quote. Actual price depends on gates, corners, terrain, local labor rates and current material prices in your area. Default prices are public-market averages; switch on “My Pricing” to use your own numbers. Concrete and post-depth figures are planning estimates only — verify local code, frost depth, soil conditions and manufacturer requirements before you dig.
Aluminum fence notes
- Pre-welded panels in 6 ft widths — rackable panels handle gentle slopes.
- No picket math needed: pickets are part of the panel.
- Popular around pools (meets most climb-resistance codes) — check local pool barrier rules before ordering.
