Metal and wood are two popular materials for all types of fences in both residential and commercial settings. However, metal is quickly becoming more popular than wood due to its unique benefits. Consider the value of choosing steel or aluminum fencing to determine whether metal fencing is right for your needs.

3 Benefits of Steel & Aluminum Fencing

1. Less Maintenance

Wood is susceptible to problems such as warping and insect infestations. It requires a stain or coat of paint to protect it, which will need to be reapplied about a month after installation and routinely throughout its lifespan.

Metal, on the other hand, is powder-coated to protect it from the elements. It won’t require any additional applications; all you’ll need to do is hose down the fence to keep it clean and occasionally scrub it for more stubborn dirt. This easy maintenance will save you both time and money.

2. Longer Lifespan

Metal is a durable material. Rust-proof aluminum or steel can handle moisture, wind, and sun exposure without weakening. As a result, your new fence will easily last for decades.

In comparison, wood fences generally last around 15 years before needing to be repaired or replaced.

3. Easier Installation

Wood is heavy and requires specialized knowledge to handle. This makes installation a longer and more involved process. Aluminum, on the other hand, is lightweight and easy to work with. This will benefit you by ensuring a quick and affordable installation since it’s less labor-intensive.
