Aluminum fence

1. Key Specifications A. Material Extruded Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, and corrosion-resistant. 

 Alloy: Typically 6061-T6 or 6063-T6 aluminum for strength and flexibility. 

 Powder Coating: UV-resistant finish (e.g., black, bronze, white) for color retention and scratch resistance. 

 B. Design Features Pickets: 

 Height: 3–6 ft (0.9–1.8 m) for residential; 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) for commercial. 

 Thickness: 0.5–1.0 inches (12–25 mm) for pickets and rails. 

 Styles: Ornamental, privacy, picket, or spear-topped designs. 

 Mesh Options: 

 Aluminum Mesh Panels: For added security (e.g., 1"x2" grid). 

 C. Coating Powder Coating: Electrostatic application for uniform, long-lasting color (e.g., RAL or custom shades). 

 Anodized Finish: Enhanced corrosion resistance (rare, mostly industrial use). 

 D. Strength Tensile Strength: 20,000–40,000 psi (lower than steel but sufficient for most non-industrial uses). 

 Wind Resistance: Engineered to withstand 90–120 mph winds with proper installation. 

 2. Components Posts: Hollow or solid aluminum (2–4" diameter), set in concrete or with ground spikes. 

 Rails: Horizontal bars (top, middle, bottom) connecting pickets. 

 Pickets: Vertical bars spaced 3–6 inches apart. 

 Accessories: 

 Decorative Caps: Ball, spear, or flat tops. 

 Gates: Single/double swing or sliding gates (manual or automated). 

 Post Lights: Integrated solar or LED lighting. 

 3. Advantages Rust-Proof: Ideal for coastal, humid, or rainy climates. 

 Low Maintenance: No painting or staining required; occasional cleaning with soap/water. 

 Aesthetic Versatility: Mimics wrought iron at a lower cost. 

 Lightweight: Easier DIY installation vs. steel or iron. 

 Recyclable: 100% recyclable material with minimal environmental impact. 

 4. Aluminum fences excel in: 

 Residential/Commercial Aesthetics: Mimicking wrought iron without the upkeep. 

 Coastal/High-Moisture Areas: Resisting saltwater and humidity. 

 Pool Safety: Meeting code requirements with durable, non-corrosive materials. 

 Choose height, design, and coating based on your needs (e.g., 6-ft spear-topped for security, 4-ft picket for curb appeal). Pair with automated gates or solar lighting for enhanced functionality. Ideal for homeowners prioritizing style, longevity, and minimal maintenance.
