Aluminum Fence Installation Near the Lake in St. Cloud

Because the wind off East Lake Tohopekaliga pushes on a solid fence like a sail, and open pickets let it pass straight through.

St. Cloud sits on the south shore of East Lake Toho, and lots near the water take more wind than the ones tucked into town. A six foot solid privacy panel catches all of it. Every gust levers the posts back and forth, and after a few summers of afternoon storms that shows up as a leaning section. An aluminum picket fence gives the wind almost nothing to push against.

Then there is the view, which is half the reason to live out here. A black open picket keeps the sightline across the yard, looks tidy from the neighbors' side too, and still stops a dog cold. Our fence company in St. Cloud page covers how the different parts of town change what we recommend, from the older grid downtown to the acreage east of here.

The locate, the permit, posts set in concrete, every gate hung and adjusted, and a cleaned up yard when the crew leaves.

Newer St. Cloud lots are mostly sandy fill under fresh sod, and sand does not hold a post by itself. Ours go into concrete at two to three feet. The corners are where you can tell whether a crew cared, because a corner post that is even slightly out of plumb makes both runs look crooked, and this yard has two of them.

The walk gate at the side of the house gets the same attention. It is hung, then adjusted until the latch catches on its own without a shove. Before any digging starts, Sunshine 811 marks the buried lines, which by law takes two full business days. Most yards like this one take one to three days on site.
