An Overview of Aluminum Fencing
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gene_Rodriguez]Gene Rodriguez
Although comparable in price, an aluminum fence is lighter, easier to install and longer lasting than a wrought iron fence. With similar looks and style, aluminum fencing is an attractive alternative to wrought iron.
Constructed To Be Light
Aluminum fencing is constructed from hollow, heavy gauge tubing. Individual pickets are attached to horizontal rails to form a fence panel. An aluminum fence panel weighs less than half the weight of a similar wrought iron panel.
Designed To Be Simple
Aluminum fence panels are lightweight and feature modular construction. Panels come in standard six-foot lengths, but can be cut to custom size using a hacksaw. Mounting hardware is attached with simple screws. These features make aluminum fencing as easy to install as wooden fencing.
A Lifetime Of Use
Resistant to rust and covered in an electrostatic powder coating, aluminum fences typically come with a lifetime warranty. Aluminum fence surfaces are guaranteed against chipping, peeling or rusting.
A Secure Fence
Aluminum fences are most effective where security is more important than privacy. The open design of aluminum fences allows light and air to flow through unrestricted. Aluminum fences are a great choice for pool enclosures. They will keep little ones away from the pool while allowing an unobstructed view of the pool area.
(Almost) Zero Maintenance
Aluminum fencing can be cleaned with soapy water and a scrub brush to remove bird droppings or splashed mud. Routine maintenance will be limited to an occasional hosing off to remove dust or accumulated debris.
The modular design of aluminum fencing makes repairs simple. Should a picket become damaged, it can easily be removed and replaced using only a screwdriver.
