Project Description

This classic aluminum fence for a Richmond home adds security while improving the look of the whole property. An arched double drive gate serves as the centerpiece. The rest of the fence keeps to the same style, so the gate and the fence line read as one design.

Aluminum Fence for a Richmond Home: Project Highlights

An Arched Drive Gate With Custom Details

The arched double drive gate spans the full width of the asphalt driveway and hangs between two wide black columns. Its top curves up to a peak at the center, where we added a custom monogram medallion, and lantern post caps finish both columns. Because of the monogram, no other gate looks quite like it. Our crew installs aluminum fencing across Richmond, and this gate shows the kind of detail we can add.

An Aluminum Fence That Suits the Home

Aluminum gives the home a strong, durable barrier for better security. It also resists rust and corrosion, so it needs very little upkeep and keeps looking good through every season. The Aluminum Association lists corrosion resistance and light weight among the metal’s defining traits. Unlike wood, it doesn’t need regular paint or stain, and an occasional rinse with a garden hose keeps the black finish clean.

Spear-Top Pickets Along the Front Lawn

Along the front yard, the black aluminum fence runs beside a mulched bed at the edge of the lawn. Its pickets rise just past the top rail to spear points, a traditional detail that matches the arched gate. Because the pickets are open, the lawn, plantings and house stay in view from the street. For more looks like this, see our roundup of popular aluminum fence styles.

Clean Lines Around the Whole Perimeter

The fence follows a classic design with clean lines and minimal detail. That simple look suits the home’s exterior as well as its architecture. We ran it around the home’s full perimeter, so the whole property ties together. The whole project took 3 weeks, from the first consultation until the final installation.

Security and Curb Appeal That Last

This aluminum fence for a Richmond home adds security and curb appeal in equal measure. With the arched gate at its center, the entry looks the part too. Aluminum also suits a wide double gate like this one, because the metal is light for its strength, so the leaves are easier on the hinges and columns.
