Porfence supplied white spear top aluminum fence and matching gates for Nassau Cruise Port in the Bahamas. The fence runs along the harbor, the walkways and the terminal buildings, where it faces salt air, full sun and heavy foot traffic every day.

The site
A cruise terminal is one of the harshest places for a fence. Salt spray from the harbor, strong sun and thousands of passengers a day mean the fence has to stay straight, clean and safe with very little maintenance, while still looking right next to new terminal architecture.
What we supplied
- Spear top aluminum fence panels with cast spear finials
- Matching aluminum gates in the same profile and color
- Posts and fixings for in-ground and surface-mounted runs
- White powder coat over pretreated 6063 aluminum
Why aluminum for coastal sites
Aluminum does not rust, so there is no red staining or flaking when the coating is scratched. With proper pretreatment and polyester powder coating it is well suited to marine and poolside environments, and it is far lighter to ship and install than steel.
