Pool fences have evolved over the years in many ways. In the past 10-15 years emphasis has been placed on regulating and enforcing fence requirements across the country. This has been a great thing, and has saved many lives, but it has also limited the fence options available to the consumer. Flash Fence of College Station specializes in creating pool fences that will make your pool safe.
Ornamental Aluminum
Ornamental aluminum has become the most popular type of pool fence in America due to its durability and elegant appearance. The aluminum is coated with a type of dry powder which is applied as a free flowing agent. This process is called powder coating and differs from conventional liquid paint because it does not require the use of a solvent to keep the product in suspension form. The coating is applied electrostatically and then cured under heat to allow it to form the skin that coats the aluminum.
Powder coated aluminum fence is sometimes confused with wrought iron fence which is extremely heavy and has a painted surface. Iron fence is not frequently used around pools because it is much more expensive and time consuming to maintain. The panels for residential aluminum fence come in six foot sections and are composed of individual top and bottom rails and pickets that are fastened together with rivets or screws.
Advantages:
Extremely durable
Low maintenance
Relatively inconspicuous (especially darker colors)

Not a good privacy fence
Applications
Ornamental aluminum fence is perfect for any setting where low maintenance is important and a privacy fence is not required. Aluminum fence is also great for waterfront properties or any other setting where you want to limit the obstruction of a wonderful view as much as possible. This is primarily because of the narrow rails and pickets used to construct the fence. This is the only type of fence that requires absolutely no maintenance, and that’s a huge plus for most people. Aluminum fence is also available in a variety of colors. The most popular color is black, but many manufacturers also offer white, bronze, or green.
