Frequently Asked Questions
Is aluminium fencing cheaper than wood?
Wood fences will generally be cheaper upfront, however, aluminium fences require less maintenance and will last longer, saving you money in the long run. Aluminium fences won’t discolour over time and are an attractive, modern fencing option. We even provide wood-look finishes for people who want the look of wood but the durability of aluminium.
How long does aluminium fencing last?
A maintained aluminium fence can last up to 50 years. Wood fencing generally only lasts 10 to 20 years, as it is prone to rotting and needs significant maintenance.
How do I maintain my aluminium fence?
Wash with water and a gentle dish soap when needed. You can also use a soft bristle brush for spiderwebs and stains. If you live in coastal areas or places prone to dust, you may need to clean your fence more regularly to prevent a build-up of salt or dust.
