Durability and Maintenance
Aluminum fence is easy to install; for DIYers, it’s one of the easiest fences to build! Aluminum offers the look of wrought iron, but it’s lighter in weight and costs significantly less. Aluminum fencing is an incredible option if you like customization—not only can you choose among several grades of fence, with increasing stability for grade; you can also buy it in multiple colors, which many homeowners appreciate as they can create a fence that adds greater visual appeal in their yard. One of the things most DIY experts like is that aluminum fence is also easy to repair should it get damaged as you can replace a single picket versus replacing an entire section of fence. Aluminum is also easy to install and works well in an environment with a bit of a slope as you can rack the panels to adjust with the angle of the ground it covers.
For applications with certain structural strength requirements, such as large doors and windows. It is better to choose the profile with higher tensile strength, such as: 6063-T6.
Additionally, cast iron panels provide security without compromising on style. Fencing and gates made from ornamental cast iron can deter unauthorized access while still looking elegant and inviting. This balance between security and aesthetics appeals to many property owners seeking to enhance their home’s curb appeal while ensuring safety.
