Aluminum Fence Installation Specialists FAQs for Lower Merion Homeowners
Will aluminum fence rust?
No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it cannot rust. The powder coating provides additional protection against oxidation and pitting.
Is aluminum fencing strong enough for large dogs?
Yes. Residential grade aluminum is sufficient for most breeds. For very large or aggressive dogs, we recommend 'Puppy Picket' styles or upgrading to a commercial-grade profile for added strength.
Can you install aluminum fence on a steep hill?
Yes. Aluminum panels are 'rackable,' meaning they can adjust to significant slopes without leaving large gaps at the bottom, unlike rigid PVC panels.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Lower Merion Township?
Yes, Lower Merion Township requires a building permit for all fences over 6 feet in height and a zoning permit for all new fence installations. We help navigate the specific Main Line codes to ensure your project is fully compliant.
What are the fence height restrictions in Lower Merion?
Residential properties in Lower Merion typically allow fences up to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. However, there are specific rules for corner lots and heritage properties that we verify for every client.
Do you install pool-compliant fencing in Lower Merion?
Absolutely. We specialize in BOCA-compliant aluminum and vinyl fencing that meets the rigorous safety standards required for Lower Merion residential pools, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal.
What is the best material for a privacy fence in Lower Merion?
For the historic and upscale feel of the Main Line, many clients choose our premium Western Red Cedar or our realistic wood-grain vinyl systems. Both provide excellent privacy while maintaining a high-end estate look.
