When you want the prestigious look of wrought iron without the endless cycle of sanding, scraping, and painting, Authority Fence & Deck delivers the ultimate solution: Jerith Ornamental Aluminum. As Albertville’s premier aluminum fence contractor, we combine high-end aesthetics with the rigorous safety standards required for modern residential properties.

Albertville’s climate—from humid summer days to heavy winter snow loads—is brutal on traditional steel and wood. That’s why we exclusively offer Jerith, a brand manufactured in the USA from an exclusive high-strength aluminum alloy called HS-35™. This material has the strength of steel but is naturally rust-proof. Finished with the FencCoat™ powder coating system, your fence is guaranteed not to crack, chip, or peel for as long as you own your home. Our signature deep-pier concrete installation ensures your ornamental rails stay perfectly level, even in Albertville’s heavy clay and frost-prone soil.

FAQ: Aluminum Fencing & Pool Safety in Albertville
Do I need a building permit for an aluminum fence in Albertville?
In the City of Albertville, a zoning permit is required for residential fences. While fences 7 feet or less typically follow standard codes, all installations must meet zoning requirements regarding height and setbacks. If you are installing an aluminum fence specifically for pool safety, it must meet stringent barrier codes to pass inspection. Our “Permit Concierge” service handles the research and paperwork for you.
What are the Albertville pool fence requirements?
Albertville adheres to the Minnesota residential building code, which requires a pool barrier at least 48 inches (4 feet) high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch release located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top. Our Jerith “SafetyPup” and “Premier” styles are specifically designed to meet these life-safety codes.
Why choose Jerith Aluminum over other brands?
Jerith was the first manufacturer to offer a Lifetime Warranty. Their HS-35™ alloy is a minimum of 35,000 psi, making it over 50% stronger than many competing aluminum brands. Their FencCoat™ finish is twice the thickness and hardness of standard paint, making it incredibly resistant to scratches and fading in the intense Minnesota sun.
What are the height limits for ornamental fencing in Albertville?
For residential side and rear yards, the maximum height is 6 feet. In the front yard (the area extending to your front property line), fences are typically capped at 4 feet to maintain neighborhood visibility. Aluminum is the ideal choice for front yards because its “open” design provides security without creating a “walled-in” or “fortress” feeling.
How far must an aluminum fence be from the property line?
Albertville allows fences to be placed up to the property line, but we recommend a 1–2 foot setback. This ensures you can maintain the grass on the “neighbor side” of the fence without trespassing. If you have a corner lot, specific “sight triangle” setbacks are required for traffic safety.
How deep are the posts set for Albertville soil?
Albertville’s heavy clay soil is notorious for holding water and expanding forcefully when it freezes. To prevent “frost heave,” we dig 42 to 60 inches deep for every post and anchor them in a concrete pier below the frost line. This ensures your ornamental rails don’t become crooked or unlatched during the spring thaw.
Is aluminum fencing safe for dogs?
Absolutely. We offer Jerith styles with “Reduced Picket Spacing” (often called puppy pickets). This adds an extra rail and more pickets at the bottom of the fence, ensuring that even small breeds like Chihuahuas or Yorkies cannot squeeze through the ornamental pickets.
Does aluminum fencing require maintenance?
Virtually none. Unlike wood that needs staining or iron that needs rust treatment, Jerith aluminum only needs an occasional rinse with a garden hose to remove road dust or pollen. The powder-coated finish is designed to last a lifetime in the Minnesota climate.
Can aluminum be installed on hills or slopes?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Jerith aluminum is its ability to “rack.” This means the fence panels are designed to follow the contour of a sloped Albertville yard without leaving large gaps at the bottom or requiring unsightly “stepping” of the panels.
What colors are available for ornamental fences?
While Black is the classic “Wrought Iron” choice that disappears most effectively into the landscape, we also offer Bronze and White. Bronze is a popular choice in newer STMA developments as it complements earth-toned siding and stone accents.
Does Authority Fence handle the utility marking?
Yes. Safety is our priority. Before we begin any deep-dig installation in Albertville, we coordinate with Gopher State One Call (811) to have all underground gas, electric, and water lines professionally marked.
How long does it take to install an aluminum fence?
Most residential aluminum projects are completed in 1 to 3 days once we are on-site. We work efficiently to minimize the time your yard is “open,” which is especially important for our clients with pools or pets.
What is the warranty on Jerith Aluminum?
Jerith provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty against rust, defects, and finish issues (cracking, peeling, or chipping). Authority Fence & Deck complements this with our own Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee on the installation itself.
Is aluminum better than wrought iron?
In the Minnesota climate, yes. Wrought iron or steel will eventually rust when exposed to our humid summers and salty winter road spray. Jerith aluminum gives you the exact same aesthetic but is naturally corrosion-resistant, saving you thousands in long-term maintenance costs.
