Nothing looks quite as nice as a wooden fence surrounding your yard. A wooden fence adds a certain element of elegance and aesthetic appeal that other fences simply cannot compete with. But whether you have an old fence that needs a little touch up, or you have just had a new fence installed, all wooden fences need to be annually stained. This will not only keep your fence looking its best, but it will also protect your fence from the harsh outdoor weather (rain, sun, snow, wind, etc.).

Which wrought fencing is best?
We’ve recently talked about wrought iron fencing and alternative materials that achieve the same look. Now for a look at which is best, we turn to this article.
Wrought iron may be classic, but there are a couple reasons why we recommend ornamental aluminum and steel instead. Iron can rust, and thus requires maintenance. Aluminum won’t rust and the treatment for steel prevents it from rusting. The other main consideration is price, because iron is much more expensive than the other two.

Ironing out your fencing options
In our last post, we mentioned that you have a wealth of options when choosing a fencing material for your home and that some materials can be made to look like others. This trend is especially prevalent in the area of wrought iron where less expensive metals are often substitutes. Here are a couple of them and how they improve on the original.Aluminum
A good black aluminum fence can be a good stand-in for iron. Aluminum is lighter but still durable. You may not want it for heavy-duty security, but if you want matal fence that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, aluminum is the way to go. It’s probably the least maintenance-intensive of all your metal options.
Steel
In many ways, steel is the new iron. It’s stronger than aluminum and not as heavy as iron. It won’t corrode like iron will, so it too reduces the amount of maintenance you’ll have to perform. Steel is so popular these days that it comes in a variety of color and styles. It might be the best all-around option for ornamental fencing out there.
Powder coating
Powder coating is part of the secret to maintenance-free metal fencing. The coating forms a transparent plastic barrier to the fencing material, which keeps the elements from reaching the material, but doesn’t detract from the look or peel away. It virtually eliminates painting and can be applied to aluminum, steel, and even iron.
If you’d like to learn more about these products, contact us and we’ll walk you through your options. We’re well versed in constructing and installing aluminum and steel fences (and iron, too), so we can help you whichever way you choose to do.
