Skip to main content This residential aluminum fence case study shows how Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions helped a homeowner in Windswept Farms secure their backyard for a dog while matching the subdivision’s approved fence style. The project included 122 linear feet of 4-foot Elite aluminum fencing in a matte black finish, along with 1 gate, completed in 2 days.
The homeowner needed a fence that would match the neighbor’s existing aluminum fence, meet pet containment needs, and work with a steep grade along the left sideline of the property.
This project supports our aluminum fence installation work by showing how product selection, subdivision requirements, rackable sections, offset sections, slope planning, gate placement, and layout confirmation all came together on a real backyard fence project in Eureka, MO.

Windswept Farms
Our salesman recommended a matte black Elite aluminum fence that matched the neighbor’s fence very closely. This was an important part of the project because the homeowner lived in Windswept Farms, where certain fence styles were required, and the new fence needed to fit the appearance standards of the subdivision.
The customer’s dog was a mid-size breed, so the salesman determined that the standard 3 13/16-inch picket spacing would work for this project. That saved the customer money because she did not need to upgrade to a smaller-spaced doggy fence style.
The steep grade along the left sideline required extra planning before installation. To help the fence follow the hill more cleanly, the salesman ordered rackable aluminum fence sections and an offset section. This gave the installation crew a better product setup for the slope and helped reduce potential issues where the ground transitioned.
The goal was not just to install a fence. The goal was to install the right fence for the property, the subdivision requirements, the dog, and the slope of the yard.
When the crew arrived on site, they followed company protocol by reviewing the fence layout with the homeowner before installation began. This step took a little longer than usual because the customer had some HOA-related concerns about property lines, and everyone wanted to make sure the fence was placed correctly.
Once the layout was confirmed, the crew started with the front sections first. This allowed the gate opening to set properly so the gate would be ready to install the following day.
On the second day, the crew installed the fence down the hill using the salesman’s specific measurements for the transition areas. Those details helped keep the aluminum fence low enough to the ground through the grade changes so there were no problem areas where the dog could escape.
The finished matte black Elite aluminum fence gave the homeowner a clean, subdivision-appropriate backyard enclosure that matched the neighboring fence, followed the steep grade, and helped secure the yard for pet containment.
The customer was satisfied with the finished project and later referred Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions to a neighbor, giving the company another strong example of completed aluminum fence work in the Eureka, MO area.
