Aluminum Fencing, Why is it better

Ornamental Fence

Custom Fabrication

Aluminum has many applications that are structural as well as decorative. One example is its use in the manufacturing of fence "Fabric", posts and fittings. Its rapid growth in this field is due to such factors as corrosion resistance, lightness, pleasing appearance, and minimum maintenance requirements. Considered vital to safety and security in many areas, the specific type of fencing known as chain link has become familiar to most surroundings. Aluminum is becoming increasingly important in such usage as it provides permanent, maintenance free enclosures and protective barriers in keeping with contemporary design requirements. A chain link fence of aluminum has a natural, trim beauty that is difficult to attain with other fencing material. The attractiveness lasts, moreover, because of the metal's inherent resistance in harsh industrial and seacoast atmospheres that cause rapid deterioration in most other metals.

For example, a test of aluminum fencing installed over four years ago, on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, shows only slight weathering while customary fencing installed at the same time shows well advanced corrosion, and the need for year round maintenance. Since painting is unnecessary, maintenance cost savings over the lifetime of an aluminum chain link fence will more than pay for the initial cost of the fence. This one consideration has become the major factor in the overall cost of a wire fence, as maintenance costs have risen steadily each year. Aluminum fences are high strength installations and can be relied upon under the hardest usage. They resist strains and impacts, often more satisfactorily than traditional materials. Aluminum fencing is entirely salvageable --- fence locations can be changed, if necessary, and all components re-used, even after a fence has been installed for years.
