The decision to put up a fence is not a lightly made one. If you’ve settled on a metal fence, there are options in materials and styles.
The decision to put up or replace a fence is not one many people make on a whim. Deciding on material, style, height, etc., can impact your home’s curb appeal and value. To add to the situation this brings, there is the potential that you will have to consider the homeowners’ association’s rules. If you’ve settled on a metal fence, there are options in materials and styles.
Wrought Iron
This is a classic metal that is elegant yet durable. It can create a beautiful barrier without blocking the view of your home. This style is fitting for historic or urban areas. With each piece powder coated, they are protected against the elements but only for a short while. They need to be maintained to prevent rotting. There is also an option for tubular iron. This allows the fence to be lighter, considering that solid iron fences are heavy and difficult to install. This style is also less than accommodating for any land that is not flat.
Aluminum
This option is a great dupe if you’re interested in the appearance of wrought iron but not interested in the upkeep or price tag. This style is fitting for coastal areas since it will not rust or corrode. Black aluminum is the best in this case if it is for decorative purposes. It is maintenance-free and can accommodate sloping lands. One downside to this material is that it is not extremely strong as well as easy to bend or dent.
Steel
This option is the most durable and the most likely used if security is a concern. Generally found in industrial settings, this material is next to impossible to damage. It can accommodate sloping lands but is incredibly heavy and does not prevent onlookers. It is available as tubular and should have a powder coat finish.
Chain-link
This option is affordable and durable although it has decreased in popularity in recent years. It will last for years to come, deters rust and corrosion, can be vinyl coated, and can accommodate lands that aren’t flat. It is not the most attractive option and is easy to climb. This fencing is oftentimes not permitted by homeowners’ associations.
There are options when it comes to choosing metal fencing for your boundary needs. Make sure you know your property’s boundaries and maintain the landscape around the fence you choose to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
