Wood, chain link, vinyl, or aluminum – there are multiple materials to choose from when deciding to fence your property. While they all have pros and cons, we are confident that, after reading this article, you will agree that aluminum fences are the right choice for you.
#1 Aluminum Fences Can Be Installed on Uneven Terrain
The expert craftsmen at Tripod Aluminum will build your fence to match any slopes in your land, so you won’t have any uneven-looking gaps at the bottom like you often see in other fences built on a slope. Uneven ground on a large property is common. Florida is relatively flat, but the ground isn’t a consistently, perfectly flat surface! Properties often have varying degrees of slopes which can make the installation of other fences, such as wood difficult. The ability to build on a slope or uneven ground is one of the advantages of aluminum fencing which makes it perfect for large properties.
#2 Aluminum Fences are Durable
Unlike chank link or wrought iron fences, aluminum fences are rust-resistant. Not only does that factor keep your fences looking nice, but it will help them last longer as they do not corrode the same way other fencing materials do. With the high UV Index in Florida, the sun takes a toll on everything. The high UV Index combined with the high humidity, makes it very difficult to keep a wooden fence nice for long. They fade quickly and often begin to deteriorate within a couple of years. Most fence types can last 15-20 years. Aluminum fences can last up to over twice as long as other fences! While the initial cost may be more, the durability and longevity of aluminum fences make them well worth it.
#3 Aluminum Fences are Low Maintenance
We live in a busy society. We all have a lot on our plate every day. How many of us wake up and truly have nothing to do? Not one thing? Exactly. None of us. If you live on a large property, then you probably have even more to do than the rest of us. You may have livestock or crops to care for, but even if you don’t, you have more land to take care of. Those with livestock have to routinely check their fencing for any breaches to ensure the animals don’t make a great escape. You don’t need another thing to worry about or maintain. Aluminum fences are virtually maintenance-free. Of course, if your teenager gets grounded, you can always have them spray it down to clean it!
#4 Aluminum Fences Provide Good Security
Aluminum fences are a great way to enhance security on your property. It can help to keep children, pets, or livestock safe from escaping, as well as from predators and intruders. With different styles to choose from, you have the option of making your aluminum fence a lesser or greater part of your security. You can choose a low fence without points at the top of the posts, or you can choose a really high fence with points for extra protection. Either way, aluminum fencing adds a measure of security for you, your loved ones, and any livestock or pets on your property.
#5 Aluminum Fences Look Great
Your fencing needs primarily to meet your needs. Aluminum fencing does that PLUS it looks great! It has the beautiful look of wrought iron without the rusting.

You can choose a natural look like beautiful morning glory or honeysuckle vines growing on your fences to modern planter boxes with an herb garden. You can also choose to do fun, themed decorating. You can easily drape lights on your aluminum fence. At Halloween, you can put up spooky orange and purple lights, and at Christmas, you can put up colorful lights or all white lights.
