Aluminum Fence Company
Timber Fencing is an aluminum fence company that has installed black ornamental aluminum fencing for homeowners across Charlotte and the surrounding region since 2013.
Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the rust, the scraping or the repainting. It keeps the view open, it can meet pool barrier rules, and a powder-coated finish holds up to Carolina humidity for years. It is also less forgiving to install than it looks: panels only rack so far, posts have to land at exact spacing, and a fence that drifts out of line is obvious from the street.
At Timber Fencing, an owner-operated fence company in Charlotte, Zach lays out every aluminum fence himself, sets posts at the exact panel spacing and racks or steps the panels so the fence follows your yard's grade cleanly. If you want privacy rather than an open view, we also install aluminum privacy fencing, and a wood fence or vinyl fence is worth comparing. We'll tell you which fits best.

Black Aluminum Fence Installation in Charlotte
Black aluminum fence installation is the most common aluminum project Timber Fencing builds in Charlotte, usually a 4- or 5-foot flat-top fence around a backyard or pool.
Black is the go-to finish because it fades into trees and lawn and works with almost any house. What makes the fence look right is the posts, not the panels: we set posts in concrete at exact panel spacing, then rack or step each panel so the bottom rail follows the ground without big gaps.
- Height
- 4 or 5 feet is typical, taller where your zoning and HOA allow.
- Finish
- Black powder coat, the most popular finish for aluminum fencing.
- Sloped Yards
- Panels racked or stepped to follow the grade.
- Gates
- Walk and double drive gates to match. See gate installation.

Common Questions
Aluminum Fence Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions Charlotte-area homeowners ask Timber Fencing most often about aluminum fences, answered directly.
Who is the best aluminum fence installation company in Charlotte, NC?
Timber Fencing is an owner-operated fence company that has installed black ornamental aluminum fencing across Charlotte and the surrounding region since 2013. Zach lays out and oversees every aluminum fence, from post spacing to the final walkthrough. Founded by owner Zachary. Timber Fencing is fully insured and backs its workmanship with a 5-year warranty. Call (980) 621-7669 for a free estimate.
How much does an aluminum fence cost?
Aluminum privacy fencing from Timber Fencing starts at $35 per linear foot. Final pricing is based on the size and scope of the project, including footage, height, style, gates and site conditions. Timber Fencing measures on site and gives you a free, itemized written estimate.
How long does an aluminum fence last?
A quality powder-coated aluminum fence can last 20 years or more in the Charlotte area. Aluminum doesn't rust, rot or need painting. The main things that shorten its life are impact damage and posts that shift, which is why Timber Fencing sets every post in concrete.
Is aluminum better than wrought iron or steel?
For most Charlotte homes, aluminum is the better choice. It looks like wrought iron, costs less, weighs less and won't rust in our humid climate. Steel and iron are stronger and suit high-security needs, but they need regular painting to stay rust-free.
Is a wood, vinyl or aluminum fence better?
Aluminum is best when you want an open view, a pool barrier or a fence with almost no upkeep. Wood gives full privacy at the lowest cost but needs sealing every few years. Vinyl gives privacy with little upkeep, and aluminum privacy fencing gives privacy with almost none. Timber Fencing installs all three, including wood fence installation and vinyl fence installation.
Can an aluminum fence be used around a pool?
Yes. Aluminum is one of the most common pool fences in the Charlotte area because it can meet barrier rules while keeping the pool in view. Timber Fencing installs pool-height aluminum with self-closing, self-latching gates. See pool fencing for what inspectors check.
Can an aluminum fence be installed on a slope?
Yes. Most aluminum panels can be racked, which keeps the pickets vertical while the rails follow the slope. On steeper grades, Timber Fencing steps the panels instead. Zach checks the grade during the estimate and recommends the method that leaves the smallest gaps.
Will an aluminum fence keep my dog in?
For most dogs, yes. A 4- or 5-foot aluminum fence contains most medium and large dogs. If you have a small dog that could squeeze between pickets, ask about tighter picket spacing during your Timber Fencing estimate in Charlotte.
Do I need HOA approval for an aluminum fence?
Usually, yes. Black aluminum is a common choice in Charlotte-area neighborhoods because it keeps views open, but many HOAs still set rules on height and style. Timber Fencing provides the layout and product details your board asks for and confirms property lines during the estimate.
How do I maintain an aluminum fence?
Aluminum needs very little upkeep. Rinse the fence with a hose or mild soap once or twice a year, keep vines and shrubs off the panels, and check that gate latches still catch. If a gate ever needs adjusting, Timber Fencing handles fence repair across Charlotte too.
