If you’re considering constructing a decorative fence around your property, you may think your only choice is wrought iron. However, you actually have another option: an aluminum fence. And you may be surprised to learn that although a wrought iron fence is a classic option that offers both beauty and functionality, an aluminum ornamental fence is more versatile and a better choice for your home.  

3 Reasons You Should Choose an Aluminum Fence

1. It Costs Less

Aluminum costs less than iron, and the installation is also faster and easier, which means your contractor fees will also be significantly lower. And if you’re worried you’re sacrificing quality by paying less, rest assured: Aluminum fences are built to last.

2. They Don’t Rust as Fast as Iron

Whether it’s rain, wind, or extreme heat, your fence needs to be able to withstand the elements. An aluminum fence is built to be durable and won’t rust as quickly as a wrought iron fence. 

3. Aluminum Fences Require Less Maintenance

You will need to repaint a wrought iron fence every few years. An aluminum fence, however, requires much less upkeep. You may need to do some maintenance due to natural wear and tear, but it will be infrequent. Better still, when it does need repairs, an aluminum fence is easier and less expensive to fix.
