Maple Lake Aluminum Fencing: Authority Fence & Deck provides Maple Lake homeowners with rust-proof aluminum pool fencing that meets all Wright County safety codes. Perfect for lakeside lots where visibility and moisture resistance are the top priorities.
In Maple Lake, “The Heart of the Lakes,” your property is defined by its connection to the water. Authority Fence & Deck is the premier installer of Jerith Ornamental Aluminum, the ideal choice for Maple Lake homeowners who need a fence that provides “Invisible Protection”—securing your yard and pool without blocking your panoramic views of Maple Lake or Lake Mary. Jerith aluminum is the ultimate maintenance-free alternative to wrought iron, designed to withstand the high humidity of lakeside living without ever rusting, peeling, or fading.
Navigating the technical requirements of Wright County’s Shoreland Management ordinances is a complex task that we handle for you. Fences on lakefront properties must balance transparency with structural integrity to resist heavy shoreline wind gusts. As a family-owned team since 1994, we utilize a traditional deep-pier concrete installation (42–60″ deep) to ensure your ornamental rails remain perfectly level and your gates continue to latch smoothly, even through the intense freeze-thaw cycles of a Maple Lake winter.

FAQ: Aluminum Fencing & Shoreland Codes in Maple Lake
Do I need a permit for an aluminum fence in Maple Lake?
Yes. For properties within the City of Maple Lake, a permit is required. If you are in Maple Lake Township, all building permits are issued by Wright County Planning & Zoning. Authority Fence & Deck manages the permit application process, ensuring your site plan meets all local city and county zoning codes before we ever break ground.
What are the Maple Lake pool safety requirements for 2026?
Wright County requires all swimming pools with a capacity exceeding 5,000 gallons to be enclosed by a fence at least 48 inches (4 feet) high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching. Our Jerith “SafetyPup” and ornamental styles are specifically engineered to meet these life-safety codes while looking elegant on your lakeside property.
How does “Shoreland Management” affect my aluminum fence?
On lakefront properties, Wright County ordinance mandates that fences which impede visual sight lines cannot encroach closer to the shoreline than the principal building setback. Additionally, for the “lakeside yard,” fences must maintain a high level of transparency. Aluminum is the perfect material for this because its slim picket design provides security while remaining nearly “invisible” from the water.
Why choose Jerith Aluminum over steel or iron near the lake?
Moisture and humidity are constant near Maple Lake’s waters. Traditional steel and iron fences will eventually rust and stain your landscaping. Jerith uses a specialized HS-35™ aluminum alloy that is 100% rust-proof. Their FencCoat™ powder coating is guaranteed not to crack, chip, or peel, making it truly maintenance-free for lakeside homes.
What are the height limits for ornamental fencing in Maple Lake?
In standard residential zones, side and rear yard fences are typically capped at 6 feet. In the front yard (which includes the lakeside yard for many shoreland properties), the limit is typically 4 feet. Aluminum is preferred for front yards because it maintains a friendly, open aesthetic while providing a secure boundary for pets and children.
How far must an aluminum fence be from the property line?
Wright County allows fences to be constructed up to the property line, but the entire structure must be located on your private property. We typically recommend a small 1–2 foot setback to allow you to maintain your landscaping on the outside of the fence without trespassing on your neighbor’s property.
Why is concrete footing so important in Maple Lake’s soil?
Maple Lake soil ranges from sandy lakefront banks to heavy, moisture-retaining clay. Clay expands forcefully when it freezes. We use the traditional pier method—digging 42 to 60 inches deep and anchoring every post in concrete. This anchors the fence below the frost line, preventing the “frost heave” that causes ornamental rails to become crooked after a hard winter.
Is there a “Finished Side” rule in Maple Lake?
While the city and county are flexible on which side faces out, our Jerith aluminum fencing is a “Good Neighbor” style—it looks identical from both sides. This ensures you and your neighbor both get a professional, finished view of the fence.
Is aluminum fencing safe for my pets?
Yes. For families with small dogs, we offer Jerith styles with “Puppy Pickets” (Reduced Picket Spacing). This ensures that even the smallest breeds cannot squeeze through the ornamental bars, keeping them safely contained while you enjoy an unobstructed view of the lake.
Does aluminum require any 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 dust or pollen. The powder-coated finish is designed to last a lifetime.
Can aluminum be installed on hills or slopes?
Yes. Jerith aluminum panels are “rackable,” meaning they can follow the contour of a sloped Maple Lake yard without leaving large gaps at the bottom or requiring unsightly “stepping” of panels.
Do you handle the utility marking (Gopher State One Call)?
Yes. Safety is our priority. Before we begin any deep-dig installation in Maple Lake, we coordinate with Gopher State One Call to have all underground gas, electric, and water lines professionally marked.
What is the warranty on Jerith Aluminum?
Jerith offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the material and finish. Authority Fence & Deck complements this with our own Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee on the installation itself.
