Aluminum is used to manufacture so many products. It’s lightweight, durable, strong, affordable, and customizable. While we’ve used aluminum to make many products for quite a long time, people are beginning to see how beneficial aluminum can be in constructing fences. Historically, people have used either wood or wrought iron. With all the benefits of aluminum as a material, many wonder how those properties impact an aluminum fence. Is an aluminum fence right for you? We’re going to break down some of the benefits to make an informed decision about your fencing.
Durability
If you want a fence that will last, consider an aluminum fence. It’s resistant to corrosion like rust. Sunlight and moisture don’t cause as much of an effect on aluminum as it does wood or wrought iron. As a strong, durable metal, it resists extreme winds, hail, and rain that would quickly damage other materials. That durability also translates into little to no maintenance, so you spend less time and money keeping your aluminum fences functioning.
Privacy & Security
An aluminum fence can effectively increase the sense of safety and security on your property. It’s durable and strong enough to prevent anyone from damaging it and can be built in whatever way you need, so you can tuck aluminum fencing into difficult spaces and still keep them safe from intruders. Criminals tend to use the past of least resistance, but with an aluminum fence, you won’t have to worry about that.
Versatility
As we alluded to, aluminum fencing can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. It’s one of the most versatile building materials and your fencing can be modular, so you can have as much or as little fencing as you want and need. It’s good for flat or sloped land and can be made in different styles, heights, and colors. The result is a functional fence that can be made to fit any need.
Aesthetics
As we said, you have several styles and colors to choose from. This makes for a beautiful addition that doesn’t just work with your property but enhances it. Find something that fits your home, whether that’s a classic, traditional look, or something more sleek and modern. This is a great way to squeeze some extra curb appeal out of your home as well.
Cost
Compared to other durable metals like wrought iron, aluminum is affordable. It’ll last longer, cost less to maintain, and will continue to look good. Traditional wood fences are also affordable but they will require some amount of maintenance over the years.
