Index Fence Inc. recently completed a five-foot aluminum fence installation around a residential backyard in Raleigh, finishing the project in a single day. The installation reflects a pattern the company has tracked across its six years in business: a steady rise in homeowners selecting aluminum for backyard enclosures that need to contain pets without compromising sightlines.
Aluminum fencing now accounts for roughly 20 percent of all fences installed in and round Raleigh. Wood is still the undisputed king of the North Carolina fence scene but the investment in aluminum has increased - despite rising material costs due to international shipping changes. This reflects some changes in buyer cycles as homeowners are starting to weigh fence durability higher than most other considerations. Index Fence would know, they have installed close to 2,000 fences across the Raleigh metro area since 2020. The company is a member of the American Fencing Association and was named a Nextdoor Favorite in 2025. What gives some builder like Index an advantage is that all of their materials are sourced from domestic manufacturers. This not only makes their price much more stable than competitors shipping in aluminum from abroad, but gives homeowners a much more reliable lifetime manufacturer warranty.
The recent project involved a homeowner who needed a secure backyard enclosure for a dog. The crew completed the work in one day, including post setting with 60 to 80 pounds of concrete per post — the company's standard for aluminum installations — and left the property free of debris before departing. Posts were set to a two-foot depth, consistent with the company's structural standard across all materials.
Behind a one-day turnaround is a process the company has tightened over thousands of projects. Crews evaluate terrain on arrival and choose between hand-digging delicate areas and auger work on safe ground. Materials arrive pre-staged from the company's Raleigh stock room, where homeowners are welcome to walk in and inspect what will be installed on their property before the work begins.
"After six years of putting fences in the ground around Raleigh, you learn that the only thing a homeowner remembers six months later is whether the fence still looks the way it did the day we left," said the owner of Index Fence Inc. "The crew showing up, finishing in a day, and not leaving a single nail in the grass — that is the standard. There is no other version of the job worth doing."
The completed installation is one of several dozen aluminum projects Index Fence has delivered across the Raleigh metro this spring. Homeowners interested in seeing how this project turned out reading reviews from other homeowners who live in and around Raleigh can view the company's profile.
