Durable Aluminum & Steel Fences Tailored to Roswell Properties
Aluminum and steel fences are popular across Roswell for a simple reason: they give you a clean, upscale look with far less maintenance than wood. At Legendary Fence Company Roswell, we design and install metal fences that fit the way you actually use your yard, whether that means keeping kids safe around a pool, securing a steep driveway, or adding curb appeal in a neighborhood with strict HOA rules.
Aluminum fencing is ideal if you want a classic wrought iron look without constant rust repairs. It is lightweight yet strong, which makes it perfect for sloped lots along Grimes Bridge Road or in subdivisions off Holcomb Bridge where grades change quickly. Steel fencing is heavier and more impact resistant, so we often recommend it for high traffic commercial sites, long driveway entries, or where you expect more physical contact, like backing vehicles or large dogs.
From the first visit, we walk your property with you and listen to how you plan to use each area. We look at site conditions that matter in Roswell, like clay soil that holds water, tree roots near property lines, and any Cobb or Fulton County drainage easements that affect post placement. That way, the aluminum or steel fence we recommend is based on real conditions in your yard, not a generic catalog picture.
How Our Aluminum & Steel Fence Installation Process Works
A successful aluminum or steel fence installation starts long before the posts go in the ground. Legendary Fence Company Roswell follows a clear step by step process so you know what is happening at every stage.
1) Site evaluation and measurement: We measure your property lines with a wheel, check for slope changes, and look for buried utilities. Before any digging, we submit a Georgia 811 locate request so gas, power, and communication lines are marked. This helps avoid surprises and damage during post installation.
2) Design and layout: Based on your goals, we choose panel style, height, and material. For example, pool fences near Roswell Area Park must meet pool code height and picket spacing. We stake the fence line and gate locations so you can physically see how the layout will feel in your yard before anything is ordered.
3) Permitting and HOA coordination: In many parts of Roswell, a fence permit is required, especially for front yard or pool barriers. We help you understand city requirements and, if needed, supply drawings and spec sheets for your HOA review. Having installed fences in neighborhoods like Martins Landing and Edenwilde, we know that small details like color and height can impact approvals.
4) Post installation: We dig post holes to a depth appropriate for Roswell’s dense red clay, usually 24 to 30 inches, and bell out the bottoms so the concrete locks in. We use concrete mixes and setting methods that account for localized drainage, so posts stay stable through heavy summer storms and winter soil movement.
5) Panel and gate installation: Once posts cure, we install aluminum or steel panels, ensuring consistent spacing and smooth transitions over slopes. Gates receive extra attention, including heavier posts, welded or bolted hinge brackets, and adjustable hardware so they swing correctly even if the ground shifts slightly over time.
6) Final walkthrough and adjustments: We walk the fence line with you, test every gate, check clearances for lawn equipment, and make any onsite adjustments. Before we leave, we explain how to inspect your metal fence seasonally and how to reach us quickly if you ever notice movement or hardware issues.
Design Options: Styles, Heights, Colors, and Gates
Metal fences are more customizable than many homeowners realize. Legendary Fence Company Roswell helps you choose a design that fits both your taste and what is realistically allowed by local codes and your HOA.
For aluminum fences, common heights are 4, 5, and 6 feet. Around pools, 4 foot and 5 foot heights are typical, but we always verify Roswell and state pool code requirements before finalizing the design. Steel fences are often 6 feet or taller for privacy edges or security perimeters. Top styles range from flat top for a clean modern look, to pressed spear or finial tops for a traditional estate feel. In many Roswell subdivisions, flat top or alternating spear designs strike a good balance between style and HOA approval.
Color matters both for appearance and how much the fence visually recedes. Most aluminum fences come in black, bronze, or white powder coat. Black is by far the most popular in Roswell because it blends with tree lines and does not compete with brick or stone on the house. Steel fences can be powder coated as well, which significantly reduces rust risk and matches existing railings or balconies.
Gates deserve special planning, especially near narrow Roswell driveways or short cul de sacs. We help you determine whether a single or double swing gate makes more sense, how wide it needs to be for trucks and lawn equipment, and whether you may want future automation. For pool or backyard safety, we specify self closing hinges and magnetic latches placed at code compliant heights, and we confirm that the gate swings out away from the pool when required.
If you live on a sloped lot off Woodstock Road or on a hilly cul de sac, we will talk through options like racked panels that follow the ground versus stepped sections that create level runs. This prevents awkward gaps at the bottom and keeps pets from slipping under low spots.
What Affects Aluminum & Steel Fence Cost in Roswell
Two neighbors can build similar looking metal fences and still pay different amounts, because local site conditions and design details matter. Legendary Fence Company Roswell is upfront about what drives cost so you can make smart choices, not guesses.
Material choice is the first factor. Aluminum is typically more economical for standard residential projects and offers plenty of strength for typical yards and pools. Steel costs more per foot, but provides greater rigidity and impact resistance. On long property lines that face public roads or commercial areas, steel may be worth the investment.
Height and style are next. Taller fences require more material and stronger posts. Decorative tops like finials or custom patterns add visual appeal but also add to material and fabrication cost. Additional rails, such as a third horizontal rail for extra strength, change the price as well.
Site conditions around Roswell can significantly influence labor. Working around mature hardwoods, steep slopes, or rocky soil off Riverside Road takes more time than an open, flat backyard. If we need to hand dig to avoid roots or utilities, the labor hours and therefore cost increase. Tight access between houses can also affect how efficiently our crew can move materials.
Permitting, HOA requirements, and special code compliance (like pool fencing) may add design and documentation time, but catching these early prevents costly changes later. We also discuss hardware upgrades, such as heavier duty hinges for large driveway gates or lockable latches, so you understand the price difference before we install.
During your estimate, we break out these cost factors line by line. Many Roswell homeowners find that small changes such as adjusting fence height in less visible areas or simplifying decorative elements can bring the project into budget without sacrificing safety or curb appeal.
Common Issues With Metal Fences and How We Prevent Them
Aluminum and steel fences are low maintenance compared to wood, but they are not problem free if installed carelessly. Legendary Fence Company Roswell focuses on prevention during installation, which is far less stressful than repairs after the fact.
One common issue in our area is post movement caused by poor footing in red clay soils. If posts are set too shallow or with minimal concrete, heavy rains followed by dry spells can cause leaning. We mitigate this by using deeper holes, bell shaped bottoms, and fully encasing posts in concrete above and below grade where appropriate. For fence runs near drainage swales, we sometimes increase post size or add additional bracing.
Another issue is rust, particularly on steel fences. We only use galvanized or properly powder coated steel components for exterior use, and we seal cut edges on site to prevent rust from starting at hardware locations or field cuts. For properties closer to busy roads like GA 400, where road spray can be more corrosive, we recommend specific coatings and periodic rinsing to extend life.
Improper gate installation can lead to sagging, dragging, or latches that never quite line up. We prevent this by using heavier gate posts, correctly rated hinges, and by setting gates after carefully checking clearances for any future settlement. Our crews also factor in the way water flows across driveways or sidewalks, placing gates where standing water will not constantly attack hardware.
Finally, we frequently help Roswell homeowners correct fences installed without regard to property lines or HOA rules. To avoid this, we advise you to verify your survey and HOA documents before we begin. If you do not have a recent survey, we can refer you to local surveyors. Taking this step before installation protects you from disputes with neighbors or demands to move sections of fence later.
