This one isn’t as exciting or as fun as looking at completed fence project photos, but its probably the most important and overlooked item that can make the difference between being an informed shopper and regretting your purchase.  Cutting corners on component sizes, thicknesses and finishes is a time honored tradition of lower-end companies that try to undercut higher quality pieces with a lower price.  Don’t get me wrong.  Price is important, but if you are saving $20 and getting a piece that is half the thickness, weight and will rust in 3 years; are you really getting a good deal?  Any fence and gate maker worth their salt will have the ability to provide you specifications (specs) on the pieces you are buying.  You can find and download both our abbreviated ‘quick specs’ and our full specs on our specifications page.  Look for something fully versed and thought out like our specs versus some simple bullet points or a short blurb on a web page.

Aluminum fence is easy to install; for DIYers, it’s one of the easiest fences to build!  Aluminum offers the look of wrought iron, but it’s lighter in weight and costs significantly less.  Aluminum fencing is an incredible option if you like customization—not only can you choose among several grades of fence, with increasing stability for grade; you can also buy it in multiple colors, which many homeowners appreciate as they can create a fence that adds greater visual appeal in their yard.  One of the things most DIY experts like is that aluminum fence is also easy to repair should it get damaged as you can replace a single picket versus replacing an entire section of fence.  Aluminum is also easy to install and works well in an environment with a bit of a slope as you can rack the panels to adjust with the angle of the ground it covers.

For example, residential buildings make sure thresholds serve as entryways. Most of these components are made of wood and do not usually have a longer shelf-life because of environmental factors. Fortunately, the production of aluminum thresholds has made it possible for a more corrosion-resistant material that can last longer compared to wood. Furthermore, they can adopt a smoother shape to assist in accommodating wheelchairs, or other wheeled objects.

Consider the local climate and environmental conditions when choosing the aluminum extrusion you need to use. Aluminum profiles with stronger corrosion resistance are suitable for coastal areas, while aluminum profiles with resistance to thermal fracture are ideal for areas with extreme temperatures.

When you invest in a wrought iron fence, you’re not just putting up a boundary. You’re making a statement, safeguarding your property, and elevating your home’s value in a way that only this timeless material can.
