Zone 0 guide
Where California's rule for the first five feet stands today, and what it means for a fence that meets the house.
Privacy for a backyard or side yard
For a 6-foot privacy fence, most homeowners are trying to solve two things at once: block the view and keep the yard looking finished from the house. Start with Picket Fence or the Double Side Panel, depending on the look and whether both sides of the fence matter.
A better shared property line
When neighbors see the same run every day, the back of the fence matters. The Double Side Panel gives both properties a finished face and avoids the usual conversation about who gets the rail side.
A horizontal, modern fence
Horizontal fencing works well with contemporary homes, courtyards and street-facing runs. The Double Side Panel installs horizontally, with the same finished face on both sides.
Partial privacy, picket by picket
Some yards need separation more than a solid wall. Picket Fence installed in the alternating pattern lets light and air through and reads the same from both yards.
Gate configurations that belong with the fence
The prefabricated Aldera Side Gate carries the same wood-grain texture as the fence, so the gate reads as part of the perimeter rather than as a separate product.
Wildfire-prone properties
California is changing the way owners and contractors think about the first five feet around a structure. If wildfire planning is part of your project, read the current Zone 0 guidance before you choose a fence material or connection detail.
Aldera · Architectural Collection
Pick the material once. Live with it every day.
Most fence decisions start with price and privacy. The better decision also looks at what happens after the crew leaves. Will the texture work with the house? What will the fence look like from the neighbor’s side? Does it need stain or paint? Can a damaged part be replaced without rebuilding the run? Is there a dealer or installer nearby who knows the system?
Lumenar is architectural metal with a wood-grain texture or Solid White, made to look like part of the house and to stay that way. The line covers familiar vertical privacy, dual-sided panels that install vertical or horizontal, and matching gates. Each system has a clear job, so homeowners, contractors and designers can compare the choices without sorting through a wall of look-alike products.

Why architectural metal
Less of the upkeep people expect from a wood fence
Wood has a look people know. It also brings a maintenance routine people know. Stain, paint, cracked boards, movement and replacement are common parts of owning an exterior wood fence. Lumenar keeps the warm visual direction available through wood-grain textures while the fence itself is architectural metal that arrives finished and stays that way.
That changes the ownership conversation. Routine care is about keeping the surface clean, not putting a new coating on every few seasons. Lumenar panels do not rot like wood boards. The system arrives as formed, finished components instead of raw material that has to be fabricated into a finished fence at the property. For an owner, that means the material choice is easier to live with. For a contractor, it means more of the work is decided before the truck reaches the job.
For the crew
Fewer surprises between the yard and the property
For fence contractors, the product has to keep the job moving. Clear system choices, formed and finished components and accessible technical information make the material easier to quote, stage and install.
Formed and finished components
Pickets, panels and the Side Gate arrive formed and finished, with screws included. Less cutting, welding and painting in the shop or on site.
Clearer product choices
The line is organized around the jobs contractors already quote: privacy, good neighbor, horizontal and matching gates.
Technical details when the project gets real
Current dimensions, component information, installation guidance and warranty details stay tied to each system, so the homeowner, estimator and installer can work from the same product information.

See the texture in real light
A screen can help you narrow the list, but it cannot show exactly how a wood-grain texture or Solid White will read next to stucco, siding, stone or landscaping. Ask your distributor for a sample, take it outside and look again later in the day.

Common questions
What homeowners usually want to know first
Is a metal fence going to look industrial?
Not when it is architectural metal. That is the difference between Lumenar and common metal fencing: wood-grain textures, vertical privacy profiles and dual-sided panels designed to read as part of the architecture, not as a raw metal perimeter.
Does it need painting or staining?
Routine care does not include painting or staining. Keep the surface clean with water and mild soap when needed, and follow the current care guide for your texture.
What does a Lumenar fence cost per linear foot?
The number changes with height, system, texture, gates, slope, access, old-fence removal and local labor. Your distributor gives a site-specific quote.
Can I use Lumenar near a home in a wildfire-prone area?
Architectural metal is worth evaluating for wildfire planning, but the exact product documentation and the rule in effect at the time of the project matter. Read the Zone 0 page before you specify the first five feet near a structure.
