Whether you’re a busy parent creating a safe space for your kids to play or a homeowner looking to boost curb appeal, aluminum fencing can help.
Let’s break down aluminum fencing’s many advantages by answering common questions. We’ll also include links to other resources and articles if you want to learn more.
If you’re researching metal fencing, then you probably already know the drawbacks of wooden fences. White picket fences might have a classic look, but wooden fences require a lot of maintenance. They must be stained, sealed, and treated to protect them from decay, rot, and insect damage.
Metal fences don’t have that problem. However, chainlink fences are prone to corrosion and rust. Steel and aluminum are resistant to those things, but steel is much more expensive than aluminum. Steel fences are also much heavier than aluminum, making them harder to install.
So, in summary, Aluminum fences are lightweight and highly durable. For the full breakdown, read Aluminum Fences vs. Other Materials: Pros and Cons.
With proper maintenance, aluminum fences can last anywhere from 30 to over 50 years. They can even withstand the salty winds of coastal regions and wind speeds of 115 miles per hour!
But what does proper maintenance mean? Not a whole lot. All you really need to do is wash your fence. Mix a mild detergent with warm water and apply the mixture with a soft cloth or sponge. Harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes can damage your fence’s finish. Start from the top and work your way down to avoid leaving streaks. Once you’ve scrubbed away, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.
We recommend doing this twice a year or once a quarter for more coastal regions. Of course, that’s just an overview. Check out our blog, Maintaining Your Aluminum Fence: Tips for Longevity and Durability, for more information.
Traditional aluminum fences will always have gaps between the vertical pickets. That’s great for curious or anxious dogs. But what about an in-ground pool? Or if your neighbors are right on top of each other?
Our new aluminum privacy fences can turn your backyard into a secluded oasis. Instead of vertical pickets, our privacy fence uses horizontal slats to block visibility. There are still thin horizontal gaps for optimal airflow.

This was one of the many comments we took over the . QCE Aluminum Fence offers a .080 wall thickness upgrade on fence posts which produces a much stronger post than your standard .060. Everyone online offers .060 thickness because they know consumers will see the bottom line price and forget about quality from time to time.
They obviously hide the “lack of quality” factor behind their price. At QCE, we offer all three thickness standards (.060, .080 or .125). Choose the style that either meets your needs or your budget.
