A fence is the first thing anyone notices as they walk up to your house. Before a guest rings the bell, before a neighbour glances across the street — the fence has already told a story about how you look after your home. That’s why it shouldn’t be something you “had to put up”, but something you’re proud of every time you come home.

At Alu kramil we’ve been making aluminium fences since 2003, and in that time we’ve learned one simple thing: people don’t buy a fence, they buy peace of mind. The peace of not having to repaint it every other year, of it not rusting after the first winter, and of it standing just as nicely once their children have grown up. That’s exactly what aluminium gives you.

Why an aluminium fence, and not iron or PVC

When someone first thinks about a fence, they usually compare three things: classic iron (a wrought fence), PVC, and aluminium. On paper all three look similar. In practice, the difference shows after the very first winter.

An iron fence is lovely while it’s new, but iron and moisture are eternal enemies. All it takes is for the protective layer to crack somewhere — at a joint, at a spot where something scraped it — and the rust begins. Within a few years you have streaks running down the posts, peeling paint, and the obligation to head out every season with a brush and spray can. PVC, on the other hand, doesn’t rust, but over time it yellows in the sun, becomes brittle in frost, and takes a knock poorly. Aluminium simply has no competition here. It doesn’t rust because there’s nothing to rust, it’s exceptionally light yet strong, and with quality powder-coating it keeps its colour for decades.

What people often underestimate is how much aluminium makes everyday life easier. No painting, no sanding, no “I’ll have to fix the fence this summer”. You wipe it down when you wash the terrace and that’s it. Add our 20-year factory warranty to that, and you get a fence you install once and forget exists — in the best possible sense.

How we choose a fence to suit your yard

There’s no single fence that suits every house, and this is where most cheap offers go wrong. A fence has to “sit” with the style of the house, the slope of the terrain, and how much privacy you want. That’s why we first ask how you live in that yard, and only then propose a solution.

If you like an open, airy look and want to see the greenery behind, vertical fences with spaced infill are the natural choice — they feel light and elegant. If privacy comes first, because you look onto the street or a neighbour’s terrace, then we lean towards panel fences or denser infill that blocks the view while still looking modern. For homes of contemporary architecture, where a clean, “high-end” look is wanted, there are glass fences combined with aluminium posts. And for balconies, terraces and staircases we have dedicated solutions — balcony, terrace and staircase railings — because each of those places has its own rules and its own measurements.

The point is that you don’t need to know in advance what you need. That’s what we’re here for. We come out, look at the house and yard in person, measure up, and propose two or three solutions with a clear explanation of why. You choose the one that feels right, and we make sure it’s built to those exact measurements, with no improvising on site.

Colour and finish — a fence in the tone of your house

Aluminium is an excellent material in itself, but what makes a fence yours is the colour. Through powder-coating we can paint the fence in practically any RAL shade — from classic anthracite grey (RAL 7016), today’s absolute favourite alongside light façades, through black, white and dark green, to brown tones that go beautifully with wood and natural materials. You choose matte or gloss, a solid colour or a textured finish.

For those who want something special, there’s also anodising — a process that gives aluminium a natural metallic sheen in tones of champagne, bronze or steel. That’s the “premium” look you can’t achieve with ordinary paint, and it instantly lifts the impression of the whole house.

Here I’d encourage you not to think about the fence in isolation. Picture it alongside the façade colour, the joinery, and the gate at the same entrance. When it all fits together, the yard looks considered rather than pieced together from parts bought at different times. We’re glad to help with that — we bring colour samples for you to see on your own house, in daylight, because a colour on a screen and a colour in the sun are not the same thing. We never skip that step, and it’s exactly why our clients rarely regret their choice afterwards.

From the first call to the finished installation

Many people fear that putting up a fence is complicated and drags weeks of mess into the yard. With us it isn’t, because we’ve worked the process out in detail precisely so that it’s easy for you.

It all starts with a single call or message. We agree on a time and come out — free and with no obligation whatsoever. There we measure, listen to what you want, give advice, and as a rule you get a clear quote with no hidden items the same or the next day. Once you confirm, we make the fence in our workshop, to your exact measurements, because an off-the-shelf fence “roughly cut” never sits properly. Finally comes the installation, done by our crew, tidily and quickly, and we leave behind a clean site and a checked fence that opens, closes and stands as it should.

Throughout that whole story you have one person to communicate with, so you never have to explain the same thing five times. That’s the difference between a handyman who “also does fences” and a firm that has done this for two decades. If anyone has ever booked you in and then not shown up, you know how much this matters.

How much does an aluminium fence cost

This is question number one, and entirely fair — everyone wants to know where they stand before they commit. The honest truth is that there’s no single price, because there’s no single fence. The price depends on length, height, the type of infill, the choice of colour, and how demanding the terrain is for installation. A twenty-metre fence with simple vertical infill and a fence with glass and dense panels are nowhere near the same job.

What we can promise is that you’ll get an accurate, understandable quote from us, item by item, with no “surprises” at the end. None of those situations where the price on paper doubles when it’s time to pay. We also advise you honestly — if something can be done more cheaply without losing quality, we’ll tell you. Our goal isn’t to sell you the most expensive fence, but the right one, because a satisfied neighbourhood brings us the next five jobs.

So the best move you can make is simply to call us. ☎ +381 62 384 667 — tell us where you are and roughly what you have in mind, we’ll arrange a free site visit, and you’ll very soon have a concrete figure in front of you, with no obligation to order anything.

Installation across Serbia, with a 20-year warranty

Although we’re based in Kragujevac, we make and install aluminium fences across Serbia — in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Subotica, Čačak and other cities. We’re used to the road, to different terrains, and to the fact that every object has its own story, so distance needn’t worry you. We come, measure and install as if we were working next door.

Everything that leaves our workshop carries a 20-year factory warranty. That’s not a marketing phrase we’ve packaged nicely — it’s an expression of confidence in our own work. When you know you’ll see that fence standing just like this in two decades, you build and install it differently. That’s why we never rush at the expense of quality, or take shortcuts that show later.

If you’ve read this far, you probably really do need a fence — and one you install once, for the whole life of the house. Don’t put it off. Every season you spend looking at an old, rusty or ugly fence is a season you won’t get back. Call us on +381 62 384 667 or send an enquiry through the site, and let’s start with a free site visit. No obligation, no pressure — just a clear quote and a fence you’ll be proud of.

Frequently asked questions

Does an aluminium fence rust?
No. Aluminium contains no iron, so there’s nothing to rust, and powder-coating additionally protects the surface and gives it colour. That’s exactly why we offer a 20-year warranty on the fence.

How much does an aluminium fence cost per metre?
It depends on height, type of infill and colour, so it wouldn’t be fair to quote a “flat” figure that then wouldn’t hold. The quickest and most accurate way is to call us — we’ll come out free of charge and give you a concrete quote for your specific case.

How long do manufacturing and installation take?
Usually between two and four weeks from the moment we confirm measurements and colour. You always get the exact deadline with the quote, so you know where you stand.

Do you come out to the site, and is it charged?
We do, and the visit is free and with no obligation. It’s a normal part of the job for us — without exact measurements there’s no honest quote.

What fence heights are possible?
Practically any, because we make everything to measure. We’ll match the height to its purpose (privacy, safety, appearance) and to regulations where a shared building is involved.

Can I choose the colour?
You can, from the entire RAL palette — matte or gloss. We bring samples so you can see the colour on your own house before deciding. There’s also anodising for a metallic, premium look.

Do you work outside Kragujevac?
Yes, we install across Serbia — Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Subotica, Čačak and other cities. Distance is no obstacle.

Does an aluminium fence require maintenance?
Practically none. No painting or sanding — an occasional wipe when you’re tidying the yard anyway is enough.

Can I match the fence with a gate?
Of course, and we recommend exactly that. We make the fence, gate and other elements in the same tone and style so the whole entrance looks like one piece.

How do I get started?
The simplest way — call +381 62 384 667 or send an enquiry through the site. We arrange a free site visit, measure up, and you get a quote. It’s all easy from there.
