Metal fences are often referred to as iron fences or wrought iron fences. However, an “iron” fence is usually made of steel or aluminum.
Aluminum Fences
Aluminum fencing is a popular choice in Boise because they are light, durable, and do not rust. These fences are a great fit for areas surrounding swimming pools, ponds, or waterfront areas because the aluminum resists the effects of rust and corrosion.
Steel Fences
If strength is what you are after, a steel fence is stronger than aluminum. A steel fence is a great option for areas that might encounter impacts such as parking areas, or pathways. Steel fencing is also a popular choice for commercial areas or areas where security is paramount.
Both types of materials can be used to create ornamental fence styles that will look beautiful as well as last for a lifetime. Both fence materials will require some painting in time, but it will be especially important to paint scratches and scrapes on a steel fence to prevent rust.
