Fences have all kinds of uses from keeping pets in their enclosures to protecting the Canadian border!

There are various options when it comes to types of fences. If you're planning on investing in aluminum fencing in Greater Vancouver, you will want to know the different benefits of metal fences.

For a rundown of the main types of metal fences, keep reading.

 

Chain Link

If you're looking for affordable metal fencing an excellent choice is a chain-link fence. This is one of the most cost-effective types of steel fencing available and can be suitable for a number of uses:

  • Security fencing

  • Sports facilities

  • Dog kennels

  • Bicycle enclosures

  • Gas meter/transformer enclosure

Western Fence produces high-quality chain link fencing made of galvanized steel, making it highly resistant to rust and corrosion. They can also be coated or painted to add extra protection for harsh conditions such as ice or snow, as well as sunlight.

Beyond occasionally hosing down your chain link fence every now and then, there is almost no maintenance required, and any unexpected damage is easily repaired whether you live in Surrey or one of the other Lower Mainland municipalities.

 

Aluminum and Wrought Iron Fencing

Of the different types of metal fences, ornate aluminum fences are more focused on balance between safety and style.

These fences are ideal for industrial, commercial and residential use and can be custom-made to meet your exact specifications.

If you decide to choose an aluminum fence in Vancouver, it will come with a number of benefits.

A visually appealing and functional fence can increase the value of your home. Our aluminum fences can be designed in various styles. Whether you prefer the classic vertical bars or the more modern horizontal slates, we can make them enhance the overall appeal of any property.

Aluminum is one of the strongest and most durable materials when it comes to fencing. Wrought iron is another common choice for residential clients, but aluminum is comparatively cheaper due to the manufacturing processes used.

Unlike iron, aluminum is also resistant to rust and corrosion, which is ideal for the colder and wetter months in Vancouver. They also come with a protective coating layer, meaning that the annual painting is not needed. Once installed, little to no maintenance will ever be needed.
