Choosing a fencing material is a huge decision, especially since it is one you will have to live with for many years. One of the biggest drawbacks of wooden fencing for most people is that it requires frequent maintenance for the life of your fence. The positives of wooden fencing – the charm, the up-front cost, the dependability – all make it a wise choice, but if you know that you are not the type of person to do the needed maintenance on schedule, you would essentially be wasting whatever you spend on that fence. Thankfully, there are other options for your fence and one great one to consider in this scenario is aluminum fencing.
Benefits of Aluminum Fencing
There are so many benefits of aluminum fencing which make it a smart buy and a good investment for your fencing project. To begin, the aluminum won’t rust, nor will it fade over time from sunlight or weather, even without the yearly maintenance that wood needs. Aluminum is very low maintenance overall, and it is suitable for just about every terrain or architectural style because it is completely customizable. It is also one of the most environmentally friendly materials and the long-lasting stability and durability that it offers makes it a smart buy. Finally, even though it is more expensive upfront than many wood options, its cost is very reasonable especially once you consider the longterm costs of maintenance.
Why It Doesn’t Need Maintenance
The attributes that make aluminum fencing a smart choice also help it stay very low maintenance. For instance, the aluminum is not painted. Instead, it is powder-coated, which won’t fade over time and never needs to be repainted. Instead of carving out a weekend each year to paint and seal your fence (like you will have to with wood), you can simply enjoy its beauty year after year. The material also won’t crack or splinter like wood will over time. Finally, if it needs cleaning, all you have to do is hose it down or wipe it down with a cloth. The ease of ownership in terms of maintenance more than makes up for the greater upfront cost of aluminum fencing.
There are Many Styles Available
Choosing aluminum fencing does not mean locking yourself out of beautiful or fashionable styles. Aluminum actually comes in a wide range of styles and even colors. There is certainly going to be an option that matches your home and your aesthetic vision for your property.
