Whether you are unhappy with the performance of your aluminum fencing, or if you are looking for something different, spring is the perfect time to make a change. Here’s a closer look at three different types of metal fences.
One of the quickest ways to make sure that your yard is more secure than before is to install a fence around it. However, when you go to do this, you will find that you have many different choices to make. Whether you are unhappy with the performance of your aluminum fencing, or if you are looking for something different, spring is the perfect time to make a change. Here’s a closer look at three different types of metal fences.
Ornamental Fences
Traditional wrought iron can help make your yard more appealing. This is especially true if you are attempting to achieve a specific aesthetic. Ornamental metal fences can also boost your curb appeal while protecting your home or business. You can use them when you want to be sure that no one falls into your backyard pool while you aren’t looking. Which ornamental fence you use depends on whether you want to use aluminum, steel, or iron.
Aluminum Fences
One of the most critical advantages of aluminum fences is that they are surprisingly light. This makes them much easier to pick up and move; construction and installation are also much easier. Considering how quickly you can put them in place, you would think that this makes them flimsy or weak. However, that is not the case. They are incredibly long-lasting and can do whatever you need them to do. Compared to steel, these metal fences are more affordable. There is something to say for saving money, especially when you need more material for your money. Plus, you can place these fences around your pool or waterfront home, since the aluminum resists the effects of rust and corrosion.
Steel Fences
Steel fences are by far much stronger than aluminum fences are, and indeed, even iron fences. That’s because steel is an alloy, which makes it stronger than a regular metal used in fabricating metal fences. They can also absorb and resist damage from impacts, which makes a difference when the fence is hit by a car or other moving vehicle. Steel fences handle slopes better than their counterparts, and also help improve safety and security around the perimeter of your premises. They are heavier and more expensive than aluminum fences, but depending on what you need them for, the additional cost could be well worth it, especially when you consider your return on investment. Gates made of steel can also increase the amount of protection that your property has.
