Elegant Black Aluminum Fencing in London
Black aluminum fencing combines the timeless elegance of traditional wrought iron with the lightweight, rust-proof durability of modern aluminum. Powder-coated in classic black, these fences add sophistication and curb appeal to any property while requiring virtually no maintenance — no painting, no sealing, no rust treatment. Just rinse occasionally and your fence looks like new.
London Fence Installer offers a complete range of black aluminum fence styles, from decorative residential designs with flat or spear-top pickets to heavy-duty commercial options. Whether you need a pool enclosure that meets Ontario Building Code requirements, a property boundary fence that complements your home's architecture, or a decorative accent fence for your garden, black aluminum is an excellent choice.
Unlike wood fences, aluminum never rots, warps, or absorbs moisture. Unlike vinyl, it maintains a sharp, refined appearance even decades after installation. And unlike wrought iron, it never needs repainting to prevent rust. Black aluminum fencing is a true low-maintenance, high-beauty fencing solution for London homeowners.
Available Black Aluminum Fence Styles

The most popular style — clean, modern lines with flat-top pickets. Suitable for all property types.

Powder-coated finish resists fading, chipping, and rust for decades. No painting, sealing, or staining ever required.
Elegant Design
Classic black finish adds sophistication and increases perceived property value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does black aluminum fencing meet Ontario pool fence requirements?
Yes. Properly specified black aluminum fencing meets Ontario Building Code Section 8.1 requirements for pool enclosures. The code requires pool fences to be a minimum of 1.2 metres (4 feet) high with picket spacing no greater than 100mm (4 inches) to prevent child access. We install pool enclosures that comply with these requirements and can advise you on gate latch specifications as well.
How much does black aluminum fencing cost in London?
Black aluminum fencing in London typically costs $40–$75 per linear foot installed, depending on the style, height, and grade. Residential-grade flat-top aluminum starts at the lower end of the range; commercial-grade and decorative spear-top styles are higher. Pool enclosures may have slightly higher costs due to the precision required for gate and latch compliance.
Does aluminum fencing rust?
No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it does not rust or corrode. The powder-coated black finish further protects the aluminum from weathering and UV damage. Unlike wrought iron, aluminum fencing requires virtually no maintenance — just an occasional rinse with a garden hose.
What is the difference between aluminum and wrought iron fencing?
Both achieve a similar decorative look, but aluminum is lighter, more corrosion-resistant, and significantly easier to work with. Wrought iron is heavier, more expensive, and requires periodic painting to prevent rust. For most residential applications, aluminum provides the same aesthetic at a lower cost with far less maintenance.
Can aluminum fencing be installed on a slope?
Yes. Black aluminum fencing can be installed on sloped ground using two methods: racking (the fence follows the contour of the slope) or stepping (the fence descends in level sections). Our team will recommend the best approach based on your property's grade and the fence style you choose.
