These qualities showcase the surprising benefits of aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are usually black, bordering commercial and residential properties alike for their security needs. Aluminum fences are the new wrought iron; however, one might wonder what they really have to offer. Are they really worth it? These qualities below showcase the surprising benefits of aluminum fencing.
Surprising Benefits of Aluminum Fencing
Affordability
Upfront, aluminum fences seem like one of the most expensive types of fences. Wood, especially pressure-treated pine, is the most affordable and lasts 30-40 years with proper care. However, the long-term cost of an aluminum fence may be cheaper than a pressure-treated wood fence because of the difference in maintenance costs.
Flexibility for Privacy
Aluminum fences are by no means privacy fences; their railings make for excellent security. For example, people outside of an enclosed swimming pool can still supervise those who are in the pool. On the flipside, people inside the property can see others outside the property, so no one can hide. Even so, you can add privacy if you wish through border shrubs.
Light Weight
Aluminum fences are also very lightweight compared to wrought iron fences. Their lightness makes them easier to install and manage. Even though they are light, they are by no means weak.
More Benefits of Aluminum Fences
Security
Aluminum fences are most valuable for the security they provide. Their designs make it so that they are impossible to climb over and crawl underneath. The visibility they offer makes it easy to supervise kids and pets and keep intruders from hiding.
Beauty
Aluminum fences are simply beautiful. Their elegance never goes out of style. Plus, you can find many different styles and fence heights to suit your aluminum fence needs.
Low Maintenance
Aluminum fences can last at least a lifetime. They do not rust; if their protective coating does chip or fade, applying the right kind of paint is all that’s needed. They are impervious to mold, mildew, and insects, and all they need is periodic washing to keep them in great shape. Other care tips include not hanging on the gate or letting heavy items, like tall stacks, fall against the fence. All in all, they require very little maintenance.
