Metal types

Aluminum or steel?  This is the big question many people ask when considering what kind of metal fence to purchase. 

There are pros and cons to each type.  Aluminum, for instance, won't rust, making it a good choice for humid climates like Florida.  This fact is one of the major reasons aluminum fencing has become so popular in recent years.  There are many different manufacturers of aluminum fence products.  Our manufacturer of choice at Reliant Fence is Elite Fence products.  Elite is an American owned company founded in 1986, producing high quality aluminum fencing and gates for 25 years.  Many times, the costs of aluminum fencing is lower than a steel product, another pro for aluminum, and most aluminum products come with a limited lifetime warranty (they typically have a warranty on the powder coated finish and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the fence). 

The big plus for steel is that it is a more rigid metal, meaning it is typically stronger.  It will and does rust though.  So, this option may come with a little maintenance.  However, there is a very good steel fence manufacturer based in Tulsa, Ameristar fence products.

Reliant fence typically installs aluminum more than steel.  The pricing is right for aluminum and the local environment fits the bill for aluminum as well. 

If you are in the market for a new aluminum or steel fence, give us a call, Reliant Fence, Inc.(866-851-3465) or visit our web-site:  www.reliantfence.com
