Aluminum is the fence North Brevard's water lots were made for. It doesn't rust in the salt air coming off the Indian River, it keeps the view that you paid for on a canal or riverfront lot, and at 4–5 feet with the right picket spacing it's the standard way to satisfy Florida's pool barrier law. Installed, it runs about $35–$65 per linear foot.
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act requires a barrier at least 48 inches high around a residential pool, with gates that swing out, self-close and self-latch with the latch out of a small child's reach. We build to that checklist on every pool job in Titusville, Merritt Island and Cocoa — because the inspector will.
Merritt Island and the Titusville riverfront are where aluminum earns its money: steel rusts, wood rots from the bottom up in muck soil, and chain link corrodes where the river breeze hits it daily. Aluminum on concrete-set posts is the install-and-forget answer — which is why most canal homes you see from the Max Brewer bridge are fenced in black aluminum.
