For many reasons, an aluminum fence is an excellent choice for your next fencing project. It is durable, low maintenance, and can provide security without sacrificing aesthetics. Here are the top 10 reasons to choose an aluminum fence for your new or replacement fence:
They can withstand even the most severe weather conditions. They will not rust, crack, or rot like other fencing materials, making them an excellent choice for areas that experience extreme temperatures or moisture levels. We offer aluminum fencing in several grades (residential, commercial, industrial, and pool) to meet specific durability needs. Finally, our fences are assembled with stainless-steel fasteners to ensure integrity against all seasons.
Theres no need to paint or stain them, and they wont be affected by termites or other pests. In addition, they are easy to clean hose them down or powerwash them to remove dirt, pollen, and other debris.
So whether youre looking for a traditional picket fence or something more modern, youll be able to customize an aluminum fence to meet your specific needs. We offer several different styles, from pressed picket to flush tops. Adding finials, o-rings, ball caps, and solar lighting or choosing a custom color can set your fence apart.
In most cases, professional installers require a day and do-it-yourselfers a weekend for a typical aluminum fence installation. Aluminum fencings lighter weight requires less equipment and manpower to install. In addition, it comes in preassembled sections, ready to attach to the posts once installed.
Theyre made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable. They are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
They wont splinter or break like wood fences, and they dont have sharp edges that could hurt your loved ones. Theyre also a great choice if youre looking for a fence that will provide security without blocking natural light. Unlike wood or chain-link fences, aluminum fences allow you to see through them while deterring intruders. This makes aluminum fencing ideal for pool areas, gardens, and other outdoor spaces.
They will look fabulous for years, making them a great alternative to traditional wrought iron. In addition, our state-of-the-art powder coating imparts excellent weather and UV resistance. This finish provides exceptional durability to withstand the elements and meets stringent AAMA specifications. If there are issues, our warranty covers uneven fading.
After years of trouble-free use, an aluminum fence will still look great when its time to sell your home. Ultimately, an aluminum fence will help you get top dollar for your property. And because aluminum is a highly reflective material, it can help to brighten up your property and make it appear larger, providing additional curb appeal.

Are you purchasing a wood fence for the backyard to keep in the children, contain pets, or just need some privacy from the neighbors? You may have a few questions to ask your potential contractor. Do you have the tough questions ready to ask? And do you know what the answers SHOULD BE from a quality contractor?[separator top=40 style=none, single, double, dashed, dotted, shadow]
Are you getting the real thing or a batch mix of guesswork off a trailer? Concrete is the foundation for your fence. If the concrete is not mixed correctly, the batch will be bad. If the concrete has inferior parts, the batch will be bad. To ensure the integrity of the concrete and your post foundation footer, always ask for PREMIXED 100% BAGGED CONCRETE for your installation!!! Why would a contractor mix a batch of gravel on the back of the truck? ITS CHEAPER! Why take chances? Insist on 100% concrete! If your contractor doesnt care about the longevity of your fence and cuts corners herewhere else is he cutting corners? AND here is how they cut corners: Set concrete on ALL 4 sides or only 3 sides? Dirt from the post installation who is responsible for that mess? Yes, you have a NEW FENCE in the backyard, but did the contractor leave piles of red clay next to your posts? Are your children and pets tracking in all that red clay? ASK WHAT ABOUT THE DIRT FROM THE POST CLEANUP?
Fencing contractors can save BIG MONEY by mixing their own concrete about $4.00 per post. That is your foundation support, and theyre saving over $20,000 over a year!
Will they last? Here is the thing about wood posts: In the Southern States, especially here in East Tennessee, they WILL BE ATTACKED BY TERMITES. Its not a question of IF they will be attacked, but when, how soon, and how much damage will occur. East Tennessee is in the TERMITE BELT! The ONLY WOOD POSTS TO SURVIVE TERMITES IN THE TERMITE BELT are WOOD POSTS SPECIFICALLY TREATED FOR TERMITES! Other fence post materials such as spruce, fir, cedar, Chinese cedar, Atlantic cedar, white cedar, red cedar, cedar cedar you get the gist will have a 5-7 year life on average! That means that if you do not use POSTS THAT ARE TREATED FOR TERMITES your new fence will be FALLING OVER in 5-7 years if you live in the termite belt. If your contractor doesnt care about the longevity of your fence and cuts corners herewhere else is he cutting corners?
Why would a contractor use an inferior wood post that has not been chemically treated and warranted for termites? SAVES MONEY at YOUR EXPENSE!!
Estimated savings for fencing contractors using wood posts not chemically treated for termites are about $2 per post. Over a year that can save the average fencing contractor over $10,000! Is it illegal? No. Is it unethical? Yes, knowing you are installing a product that will decay rapidly.
Nails for wood fencing How many nails per backing rail? The backing rails are the support framework for your fence. Backing rails are the horizontal pieces (usually 2x4) attached to the wood post. If your fence contractor is only using ONE NAIL to hold in your backing rail (which supports the fence), that is shorting the job! You need two nails on each end of the 2 x 4 backing rail for proper strength. Why would a contractor use only ONE NAIL to attach the fence rail to the post? SAVES MONEY at YOUR EXPENSE!! Doesnt sound like much, but to a contractor, that second nail can save over $4,000 over a year!
Wood picket fences should have TWO NAILS per BACKING RAIL for proper support. By only using a SINGLE nail on the middle backing rail, fencing contractors can save over $1,000 over a year!
Ring shank nails vs smooth shank nails. Ring shank will grip and hold the lumber, while smooth nails will pull out, which saves the fencing contractor $1,000 over a year!!!
Galvanized vs interior nailsanother $1,000 over a year! How do you know? Look at some of the contractor fences you are considering, and then look at how well the construction is holding up after 2-5 years. After all, that will be you in 2-5 years.
Cedar fences have highly corrosive acids in the lumber and the best nails to use are stainless steel nails. Contractors not using stainless steel nails in cedar lumber will have nails rusting out very quickly! By not using stainless nails for a cedar fence, a contractor saves over $25,000 during a year.
This is a huge area for bait and switch fencing contractors: Thickness of the pickets, whether or not treated for termites and warranted against termites.
Cedar fencing is the worst for bait and switching. Cedar has multiple grades for the same picket, ranging in price from 30 cents on the low grade (loose knots, some bark allowed) to $3.25 on the high end (clear, no knots). Savings for the contractor here are astronomical! An average customer thinks they are getting a quality western red cedar #1-grade fence, but receives a cedar fence with cypress. They will see a difference of $2,000 per project!!!
That is $2,000 per job a cedar fencing contractor can pocket at your expense!!!
On this cedar bait and switch, the customer has little recourse. The contract does specify cedar, just not what kind of cedar, grade of cedar, or warranty for cedar (there is no warranty). Over a year, this could save the cedar fencing contractor $200,000.
