Just like any fencing, aluminum and wrought iron fencings have advantages and differences from one another. When you know the differences and advantages of specific fencing, you are capable of making wise decisions as a buyer when purchasing a fence.
Here are the differences between aluminum fencing and wrought iron fencing:
Aluminum Fencing
The standard residential aluminum fence is made of 5/8 X 5/8 pickets (vertical) and 1X1 rails (horizontal). The standard aluminum fence is 48” high X 72” wide, weighing 12 pounds. The finish is powder coated. If you are looking for a fence with a lifetime warranty this is a great fence to install because aluminum fencing is maintenance free. You will never have to paint your fence. You will never have to worry about rust, chipping, cracking or peeling.
Wrought Iron Fencing
This type of fencing is made of gauge square tubing for the pickets and punched channel for the rail. It is 48” high X 96” making it wider than the aluminum fencing. The finish is black powder coated. Unlike the aluminum fencing, its warranty is 10 years for the fence and one year for the finish. This fencing will inevitably rust in time. You will have to occasionally maintenance your fence.
Now that you know the differences between the two fencings, here are the advantages:
