Corrosion Resistant Fencing

The terms rust and corrosion are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. Rust is a form of corrosion, but rust only affects iron and associated alloys that includes steel. Metal fencing is subject to the chemical process of oxidation. Modern metal fencing typically contains a powder coating for aesthetic and practical reasons to inhibit corrosion, but for corrosion resistance in metal fencing, nothing can come close to aluminum.

South Florida Elements

Many metals rust when exposed to the conditions prevalent in the South Florida climate. They corrode when exposed to high humidity levels and water – particularly saltwater. Aluminum fencing is corrosion resistant and provides any property with elegance, security and durability. The material is highly versatile and can be customized into multiple styles and designs.

Research into the metal indicates that aluminum has the ability to last for a whopping 10,000 years before it begins to break down. It tolerates saltwater, significant rainfall, elevated humidity levels, and UV rays without fading or deteriorating.

Pest Resistant

Another attribute of aluminum fencing that’s particularly appealing is its resistance to insect pests. A wide variety of insects can infiltrate other types of fencing materials, resulting in damage that facilitates and accelerates rot. Aluminum fencing doesn’t attract or retain insects.

Low Maintenance

Aluminum fencing is one of the lowest-maintenance materials that can be selected and its equally at home in a variety of environments. Owners won’t have to spend time painting or staining it and it has no special maintenance requirements. If a section of aluminum fencing is damaged due to unforeseen circumstances, it’s a simple matter to replace it in the same color and style as the original.

For those seeking an environmentally-friendly fencing option, aluminum fits the bill perfectly. It’s 100 percent recyclable and can be recycled multiple times. Utilizing aluminum fencing provides a corrosion-resistant way to enjoy beauty, security and durability, while providing an eco-friendly option that saves trees.

Why we Love PVC Fencing

With a myriad of fencing materials from which to choose, it can be difficult to make a definitive selection. One of the options worth considering for a multiple range of needs is PVC fencing. It’s a type of vinyl with an extensive number of benefits and advantages.

Color, Style, Texture

PVC fencing is available in multiple hues to complement home colors. The fences are offered in lattice, picket, privacy, and post-and-rail styles, just to name a few. It can be customized in numerous ways to conform to local regulations or to create a truly individualized look. PVC fencing is available in textures that emulate natural wood and stucco.

Low Maintenance

If you want a fence that’s virtually maintenance free, PVC fits the bill. It won’t split, crack, rot, peel, or warp. It’s manufactured with UV inhibitors to prevent it from yellowing, fading or becoming brittle, even in our sun-soaked South Florida climate. You won’t have to spend your time painting or staining PVC fencing.

PVC fencing is unappealing to insects, so you won’t need to apply insecticides and there’s no need for preservatives to prevent rot. If algae, mold or mildew develops, it’s easy to clean with a minimum of effort.

Durable

Five times stronger than wood, PVC is highly durable and able to withstand strong winds and the material is resistant to saltwater. It’s earned the Dade County Product Approval Certification.

Versatility

The fencing can be designed with a variety of decorative tops and can be installed vertically or horizontally. It’s available in multiple heights. There’s an option whether you’re seeking fencing for privacy, security or safety.

Eco-friendly

PVC fencing is non-toxic and offers no danger to children or pets, nor does it compromise or pollute air or water quality. When the fence eventually comes to the end of its lifespan, it’s recyclable. It will be broken down to become part of another product. That means less material that will find its way into landfills. PVC fencing is one of the greenest materials available and requires very little resources or energy to produce.
