Aluminum fencing looks similar to wrought iron and steel models. However, because aluminum is lightweight and requires less specialized production, aluminum fencing comes at a fraction of the cost of other decorative metal fences.
Aluminum is one third of the weight of steel fencing, which makes aluminum easier to transport and install. In turn, lightweight materials usually have distinctly lower labor costs.
Aluminum fences are one of the easiest types of fences to maintain. As opposed to wood, which must be regularly refinished and painted, aluminum never needs a new protective coat.
Aluminum is a highly recyclable material. To make your fence as eco-friendly as possible, look for a fence that is made from recycled aluminum. Even if you do not choose a fence made from recycled items, your fence can be recycled at the end of its lifespan.
Additionally, because aluminum does not require constant painting or refinishing, you reduce your use of strong chemical finishes for maintenance.
