Aluminum and steel are excellent options for your fence. Aluminum is durable, has beautiful designs, is lightweight and requires very minimal maintenance. When it comes to durability aluminum is exceptional. In particular it is impervious to elements and will not corrode or rust. Steel can rust, but you can apply a protective layer it can be just as durable. Aluminum comes in a wide variety design and color options as well. Steel fences do not come in as many colors, usually it comes in black and bronze. Another great feature of aluminum fences is that they are very easy to clean and never require painting or refinishing. This type of fence will look great on sloped land or flat land with very few visible gaps. An environmentally friendly choice aluminum is made from recycled aluminum. A couple of drawbacks to aluminum is that there is not much privacy and they are less ideal for security purposes.
