Bringing Our Conversation on Wrought Iron Fence vs Aluminum Fence to a Close

The material is ideal for outdoor use. It stands up well to various weather conditions and adds a touch of elegance with its classic designs​​.

In recent years, the architectural and industrial design landscape has witnessed a significant shift towards minimalism and functionality. Among the various materials available, aluminium has emerged as a leading choice for designers and engineers alike. One particular innovation in this domain is the slimline aluminium profile, a design element that combines aesthetics with strength and versatility.

Gate construction is a big one to watch out for too.  Unlike a fence panel that is fixed in place and does not move, the gates need to be able to support the weight of the entire leaf as well as any leverage force pressures exerted on them.  This is where a proper gate frame comes into play.  Many companies will simply weld two posts to the end of a fence section and call it a gate.  Functional, but not really all that strong.  You will sometimes see cross-bracing on wider gates as a band-aid to poor construction as well.  The correct way to make a gate is with a fully boxed and welded gate frame like our Stronghold Iron line.  That makes a solid, 3-sided frame that will withstand way more pressure and weight without cracking or deforming.  Here is an image showing the U-frame on one of our gates.

2. Metal Wheels Made from materials like steel or aluminum, metal wheels are designed for heavier doors. They provide durability and better load-bearing capabilities, making them ideal for external sliding doors.

Stainless steel gate lock boxes are an essential security feature for any property with a gate. These sturdy and durable boxes are specifically designed to securely hold and protect gate locks, preventing unauthorized access to your property.
