Fences are primarily used to mark the boundary of a property. They also serve as a safety measure for families who have young children or pets. The cost of fences vary, depending on size, style, function and materials used. People these days have the tendency to choose aluminum fences rather than wrought-iron, wood, vinyl or chain-link fences for several reasons.

Aluminum fences are powder-coated, which means they have been powder-sprayed and then baked in special \'ovens\'. The powder then becomes extremely hard and lasting. The introduction of an extensive range of powder-coated fashion colors has given the aluminum fences a much-needed fashion boost. Aluminum fences also do not rust, and are capable of providing maintenance-free operation when used with special gate hardware. The paint and powder-coat finishes are long-lasting and rarely need a touch-up. Aluminum fences now also come in various styles, from contemporary to traditional, and can even add a touch of elegance to your fencing. They are functional and practical, and also quite attractive.

Another important factor to consider is the competitive price. You can now enjoy good quality fencing in various styles and color at a lesser cost than fences made of other materials. Aluminum fences are also easy to install and repair. For example, if a picket is damaged then only the damaged picket needs to be replaced, not the entire fence. It is also easy to install since its light weight makes it easier to manage. Aluminum fences come in 4 grades starting from residential grade up to industrial grade, so you can find fences for home or industrial needs. The higher the grade, the higher the stability.
