KENTWOOD, MI – July 02, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Fence Brothers, a West Michigan fence company specializing in residential and commercial fencing since 2013, recently completed a black aluminum pool enclosure with an automatic-closing gate for a Kentwood family seeking a secondary safety barrier between their fenced backyard and their in-ground pool. The project was finished within one week of contract signing, and reflects a pattern the company has observed across recent residential work: West Michigan homeowners with young children are increasingly requesting dedicated pool-area fencing in addition to standard perimeter enclosures.
Fence Brothers is co-owned by brothers Alec and Kyle Trierweiler, with a family background spanning 34 years in the West Michigan lumber industry. The company holds an Angi 5.0 rating, was named a 2025 Angi Super Service Award winner, and provides a five-year workmanship warranty across all materials, including aluminum and wood. Every project includes permit handling, Miss Dig utility coordination, property-line review, and HOA restriction review at no added cost to the homeowner.
The Kentwood project involved a flat-top black aluminum enclosure surrounding the in-ground pool area, separated from the larger backyard perimeter fence already installed at the property. The homeowners, parents of two young children, requested a self-latching, auto-closing gate as part of the layered safety approach. Aluminum was selected for its low-maintenance finish, its ability to hold color through Michigan freeze-thaw cycles, and its modern visual profile against the home’s exterior.

Site preparation included a soil composition review to determine the appropriate post-setting method. Each post was evaluated for depth based on conditions at the property, rather than applying a single specification across the job. The auto-closing gate hardware was installed and tested for proper latch engagement before the project was turned over to the homeowners.
“After 13 years of building fences in West Michigan, the pool safety conversation has shifted,” said Alec Trierweiler, co-owner of Fence Brothers. “Parents are no longer satisfied with a perimeter fence alone. They want a second barrier directly around the water, and they want the gate to close itself every time, because they know a propped-open gate is the failure point most pool accidents trace back to. That is a reasonable instinct, and it is one we build around.”
Aluminum fencing represents approximately 15 percent of Fence Brothers’ residential project volume, with pool enclosures and athletic-property installations driving most of that demand. The company sources aluminum panels in flat-top, spear-top, and curved-top profiles, and offers gate operator installation, a service available through only a small number of contractors in the West Michigan market.
