One great backyard project is choosing the perfect yard fence! The basic function of a yard fence is to mark a property, provide security and privacy. But the use of a yard fence does not have to stop at the basic purpose. Your yard fence can be beautiful and enhance the environment of your backyard design!
Fence design/style contributes greatly to the overall aesthetic value of your home or place of business. But for the most part, a fences’ appearance is secondary to its overall purpose. After all, most fences are not built as decorations, but rather for a more direct purpose such as security, privacy, to establish borders, or to keep animals in (or out).
Your new wooden fence looks great now, but if you do not properly maintain it, it will not last very long. Sun, wind and especially water can wreak havoc on your fence. But a little preventative maintenance can go a long way to extend the life of your wooden fence.
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.
