Aluminum fences are popular on the market due to their strength and versatility. If you’re thinking of scheduling an installation for your property, you might have questions about everything from aesthetics to safety. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about aluminum fencing to help you learn more.

Important Facts About Aluminum Fences

What are the benefits of aluminum fences?

Aluminum fences carry a variety of practical advantages, particularly affordability. Depending on the manufacturer, they may cost as little as $12 per foot. Aluminum fences are also low maintenance, environmentally friendly, and easy to install on hills or slopes. They are also incredibly secure, especially when it comes to keeping pets and children on the property. 

How long do they last?

Though the lifespan of aluminum fences varies between products, they typically last several decades. As a general rule, the higher the quality of the aluminum, the longer its expectancy will be. Protect your fence with powder coatings that prevent fading and cracking. 

Do they increase property value?

Aluminum fences tend to raise a home’s resale value. They are available in a variety of attractive colors and styles, including ornamental options, that boost curb appeal.

What can I do to prevent damage?

The best way to protect your enclosure from moisture, blistering, and peeling is by having a professional powder coat it, and our aluminum fences have been powder-coated prior to installation. Powder coating lasts longer than traditional paint, and it’s also more environmentally friendly. It’s also a good idea to keep up with lawn care, which stops vines from growing on your fence and causing the metal to wear out prematurely.
