Is an Aluminum Fence the Right Choice for Your Home?

Are you considering a new fence for your property but unsure if materials like wood or vinyl are the right option? An aluminum fence may very well be everything you’re looking for.

Lightweight yet durable and with a classic picket view that leaves things looking open and spacious, aluminum fencing can be an asset for most any property.

Below are just a few reasons why a new aluminum fence from Slagle may be the right choice for your home.

Low-Maintenance and Durable

Different fences require different levels of upkeep. Wood, for example, can require staining and sealants to protect it from warping due to the effects of the elements over time. Whether you have little time for maintenance or simply would rather not deal with it, aluminum fencing requires virtually no upkeep or maintenance whatsoever. The most you’ll have to do at any point is spray the fence with a hose to clean it off—something that’s entirely optional and at your own discretion. With an aluminum fence, you’ll never have to worry about rain, snow, hail, wind, or high exposure to sunshine damaging your fence.

Plus, unlike iron fencing, aluminum fences don’t rust or corrode. Because, well, aluminum doesn’t rust. (Ah, science, what a wonderful thing.) Slagle aluminum fences include an electrostatic powder coat finish on all panels to add even more protection while ensuring the fence continues to look new and unfaded for decades.

Bottom line: once your aluminum fence is installed, it’s good to go for as long as you want it to be there.

An aluminum fence is Ideal for Uneven Terrain

If your property is surrounded by sloping or uneven terrain, conventional full-paneled fences can be difficult to install without disrupting the surrounding aesthetics. Furthermore, some homeowners may simply want an unrestricted view of the land around them—something that is particularly true if your home is on a large acreage or has a backyard overlooking sprawling land. Aluminum fencing offers a transparent view that is also versatile for uneven land, as the fencing comes in angled sections that can conform to inclines and uneven gaps.

Aluminum fencing is great for wet areas

As you know, fencing made from materials like wood can warp and decay over time if left untreated. If your property has areas prone to moisture (such as occasional standing water, heavy sprinkler usage, and pool areas), even the most well-treated and sealed wooden fencing will eventually be susceptible to damage. If you have areas with high water exposure in and around your property, an aluminum fence is likely the wiser choice.

Cost-efficient

If you’re considering metal fences like steel and wrought iron but need a more cost-efficient option, aluminum fencing may be perfect for your property. You still get the durability and long-lasting aspects of a metal fence—and the overall aesthetics—but at a lower price point.
