When looking for a new apartment, everybody has their set of criteria: a bigger kitchen, marble flooring, a certain number of bathrooms and bedrooms, carpet or not, and so on. However, residential fences and gates aren’t on anyone’s priority list? With the varied number of fence styles available to us nowadays, a new homeowner should be well informed about residential fences and gates before even buying a home. But for those who don’t have much idea about fences, we are here to help. Our team of experts have done extensive research and listed down the tips to consider before going through an aluminium fence installation. Here they go:
→ Cost of the fence: One of the most basic and attractive fencing materials is aluminium. While it does not provide the privacy many homeowners look for in a fence, it’s maintenance-free and can essentially look similar to any other fencing type. Aluminium fence pricing varies on the quality of fence you want. Although the price of an aluminium fence varies depending on the size of the yard and the amount of the material needed, the average cost of an aluminium fence installation may range between $1,000 to $3,000.
→ Height of the fence: The height of an aluminium fence installation is a very important aspect that needs to be kept in check by the owner of the apartment. The taller the fence, the better the security. A tall fence will keep the yard safe from any animals roaming around. Hence, opt for a taller fence and feel secured with your kids.
→ A sturdy fence: Focus on building a strong, durable fence. The aluminium fence must stay unaffected to a strong force or any harsh weather conditions. In addition to being strong, an aluminium fence will give you the surety that it need not be replaced anytime soon.
→ Versatility: Aluminum fencing can be adjusted to fit your landscape, so you can use it on flat surfaces as well as sloped land without worrying about ugly gaps and awkward transitions. Aluminium fencing installation is also great for modular wall fencing because it can be built to different height specifications and topped with spikes for security, all while following local code.
→ Maintenance of the fence: Being cost-effective, aluminium fence installation doesn’t require much on the maintenance part. You do not need to repaint or re-stain an aluminium fence, unlike wrought iron and wood. To counter rust, an aluminium fence is covered in a powder paint coating during the manufacturing process, which fuses the paint to the metal surface so that the fence will last for decades without showing wear. Although you may need to hose down the fence from time to time (if you want it to last long), regular maintenance isn’t as necessary. In comparison to a wood fence, which will likely require a preservative, a sealant, and a stain or paint, an aluminium fence doesn’t burn your wallet.
We guess, now you might be sure about the things you need to ensure while building an aluminium fence. If you got any queries, contact us at info@fencepro.com or visit www.fencepro.ca.
