Aluminum fences have been around for decades, but they haven’t always been a homeowner’s first choice. As more and more homeowners discover the benefits of aluminum that’s changing. Here are some reasons to consider aluminum for a fencing project.
1. Rust-proof
Worried about aluminum rusting? Don’t be. Only ferric metals like iron rust and oxidize. Aluminum isn’t this kind of metal. Aluminum is so sturdy that many experts estimate it can take as long as 10,000 years for aluminum to break down and disintegrate.
2. Low Maintenance
Most metal fencing is low maintenance with a few exceptions such as wrought iron which needs repainting every few years. Aluminum fencing doesn’t require any maintenance because of how it’s manufactured. Before it’s sold, aluminum panels have multiple coats of powder paint coating, a protective coating, applied to prevent the need for repainting.
3. Security
Security is important to homeowners and aluminum fencing doesn’t disappoint. Unlike wood fencing, which can be cut or damaged, and chainlink fencing which is scalable, aluminum fences are tough and intruder-proof.
4. Warranty Protection
Most aluminum fencing comes with a manufacturer warranty. If something should go wrong with the fencing material, the manufacturer covers the cost. Having this peace of mind is a great benefit.
5. Cost
Many people want the look of wrought iron but don’t want to pay the high price or worry about maintenance.
