Aluminum Fences for Kennett Square Properties
JHL Fence Company installs aluminum fence installation throughout Kennett Square, Pennsylvania and the surrounding Chester County area. Powder-coated aluminum fencing — zero maintenance, 30+ year lifespan, pool-code rated.
Kennett Square sits in the southwest corner of Chester County, where the borough's tight Victorian grid gives way almost immediately to the mushroom farms, nurseries and open ground of East Marlborough and Kennett Township. Those two settings want completely different fences, and the split runs right through our work here.
The clay soils in the Red Clay Creek watershed hold water against post footings, so frost heave is a live problem in Kennett Square. Footing depth and drainage do more for fence life here than the material above grade.
Every Kennett Square installation is filed with the township, and where the property is in an HOA we prepare the architectural review submission as well. We are a licensed and insured Pennsylvania home improvement contractor (#PA035784) and the work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
What Kennett Square Properties Need
Around Historic Kennett Square borough, Longwood Gardens, the Red Clay Creek valley, the practical considerations for aluminum fences are grade, existing planting and how the property line actually runs — three things that are far easier to resolve on a site walk than on a plan.
The powder-coat finish is bonded to the extrusion rather than painted on, so it does not flake, chalk or need repainting. Aluminum does not rot, does not rust, and does not move with humidity, which means gate alignment stays true years after installation — the single most common failure point in wood systems.

Options
Aluminum Fences Styles
Flat-top
Clean horizontal top rail. The most understated profile and the usual choice for pool enclosures, where protruding pickets are a code problem.
Spear-top / finial
Pickets extended above the top rail with a decorative point. The traditional ornamental look for frontage and driveway entries.
Puppy-picket
Additional pickets in the bottom section, reducing gaps so small dogs cannot slip through — a very common request in our territory.
Commercial grade
Heavier wall extrusion and reinforced rails for schools, HOAs, municipal grounds and detention basin enclosures.

Common questions
Aluminum Fences in Kennett Square — FAQs
How much does aluminum fence installation cost in Kennett Square, PA?
Cost depends on linear footage, the material and height you choose, the number of gates and how much grade the line crosses. We provide a free written estimate for Kennett Square properties after walking the line on site, rather than quoting a per-foot figure that changes once we see the ground.
Do I need a permit for aluminum fences in Kennett Square?
In most cases yes — fence permits in Chester County are issued by the township or borough, and the requirement differs between neighbouring municipalities. We file the application for your Kennett Square address as part of the job, along with any HOA architectural submission.
How long does an aluminum fence last?
A properly installed powder-coated aluminum fence has a service life of 30 years or more. The finish is bonded to the extrusion rather than surface-painted, so it does not flake or need repainting, and aluminum does not rust. Most manufacturers back the finish with a long-term or lifetime warranty.
Does aluminum fencing require maintenance?
Essentially none. It does not need staining, sealing, painting or rust treatment. Washing it when it gets dusty is the entire maintenance schedule. This is the main reason it is chosen for pool enclosures and HOA common areas.
Can an aluminum fence be used as a pool barrier in Pennsylvania?
Yes, when it is configured to meet the barrier requirements — adequate height, picket spacing narrow enough to reject the required gauge, no external climbable horizontal members, and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware with the latch at the required height. Flat-top styles are typically used because protruding finials can be a code issue. We confirm the current requirement with your township before ordering.

Yes.
