So here is the backstory.

When this family moved into their Matthews NC home with a generously sized backyard, there were fence issues that needed to be addressed and new fence had to meet the following criteria:

A backyard fence that would clearly delineate the rear of the residential property.
Compliance with HOA regulations and fulfillment of key requirements for North Carolina pool fences.
Upgrading the backyard aesthetics to complement the neighborhood’s sensibility of style as many families were replacing their aging wooden fences.
Convenient backyard access for family and guests while giving their beloved family dog a protected area to run and play freely.

Originally thinking of having Superior Fence & Rail of Charlotte (SFR) custom design the new fencing with white vinyl privacy fencing, they thought that possibly the placement of the fence could create a glaring problem with pool reflection on hot sunny days – so the decision was made to go with a rich brown hues of Trex composite fencing for the privacy pool area.
For good visibility with strong protection, a sturdy Superior aluminum fence was installed on the outlying areas.
