To start, they are practically maintenance free. Aluminum will not rust, as it is non-ferric. You will have to keep shrubs and trees trimmed back, and clean it with a hose or soap and water, but that is all. If the aluminum bends due to heavy lawn equipment, replacing the damaged fence parts will not be a huge project.
Aluminum fences are also safer, as wood fences can easily be
climbed, and chain link fences can be cut. They are also very practical, as
they are very lightweight.
When it comes to design, you are not as limited as you may
think. Although they are most commonly black or white, other colours and
designs are available.
Installation is also easier as aluminum is lightweight and
also rackable, which can adjust to the slope of the landscape. Privacy is also
achievable through privacy screens.
Good work Steph - good story. Just watch the references to "you." If your audience is landscapers, you want to say "your clients." (i.e. here are a few reasons to recommend aluminium fences to your clients.)
ReplyDeleteMy audience is regular people, interested in landscaping and gardening, so they don't have clients.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information I have a place near me that sells aluminum fencing wholesale, and I'm going to look into buying a new fence. I've been debating between a few different materials, but your post helped me settle on aluminum. How many years would be the average life expectancy for my fence?
