Are you a property owner who is in the market to purchase new boundary fencing, but you aren’t sure which type would be best suited for you? Over the past few years, aluminum fencing has become extremely popular for owners of residential and commercial properties in the Dayton, OH area.
Below are just some benefits that you as a property owner will enjoy if you decide to have aluminum fencing installed:
1. Enjoy the Classic Appearance at a Better Price
If you like the look of steel and wrought iron fencing, but have been put off of those two options because of the price, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s often possible to replicate the appearance of these with good quality aluminum fencing – but at a fraction of the cost.
Aluminum also weighs a lot less than traditional steel fencing, which means that labor costs to have it installed with normally also be far lower than that of steel or wrought iron.
2. Can be Mounted around Most Properties
In cases where a property’s boundary is hilly or just uneven in general, some types of fencing may not be suitable because they can’t be manufactured to follow a slope. However, aluminum fencing is fully adjustable, meaning that it can be erected around virtually any type of property – without having any large gaps at the bottom that could allow pets to escape or intruders to gain access.
3. Resistant to Corrosion
Unlike other types of metal fencing, aluminum is a lot more resistant to corrosion – meaning that it will often outlast other metals by many years before needing to be replaced. Aluminum fencing will also not rust, so it won’t even need to be painted or coated in order to protect it against the elements.
4. Virtually Maintenance-free
If you’re a property owner that prefers to do as little as possible where long-term maintenance is concerned, aluminum fencing will be the ideal solution for you. Most aluminum fencing will simply need to be hosed down to remove dirt and grime from time to time, and clear away fallen leaves and other garden waste from around the bottom of it.
5. It’s a Sustainable Choice
Another advantage of aluminum fencing is that it’s highly recyclable, meaning that your new fence could very well be manufactured from already-recycled materials. Once this fencing eventually reaches the end of its lifespan, it can simply be sent off to be recycled again.
Because this fencing doesn’t need to be coated or painted, you’ll be doing an additional favor to the environment by reducing the usage of these chemical products as well.
6. Easy to Repair
In most cases, repairs on aluminum fencing can be made relatively quickly and easily. In fact, you can normally just replace a damaged section without having to remove an entire piece of fencing.
7. A More Secure Fencing Option
Although many property owners install chain link fencing because it’s often cheaper, this material is not secure at all because it can be cut through with a standard wire cutter. Aluminum fencing provides a lot more security because they’re often a lot more difficult to climb over and close to impossible to cut through.
