Metal fence installation Markham, ON
Metal is one of the beautiful, strong natural materials that offers curb appeal for any property. Markham Fence has expert metal fence contractors that ensure your property will have a functional and aesthetically pleasing metal fence that will last years.
Metal is an umbrella term for the different types of metal fencing offered. We’ll go through each one with a description of their features and considerations such as pricing, maintenance requirements and durability. Wrought iron fencing: this is among the most luxurious metal choices and works well in large estates or properties that are historically important, but in reality, can work almost anywhere. If your budget is on the higher end and you’re looking for a very durable, long-lasting metal fence, you can’t go wrong with wrought iron fences. It is essentially a forever fence. There is a caveat, however. It does require considerable maintenance to ensure rust and corrosion don’t occur. There’s nothing that will bring down curb appeal more than a rusted metal fence. Steel fencing: this is also high on the fencing price spectrum among metal materials, but not as high as wrought iron. Solid steel is heavy so part of the cost you see is not simply the material cost, but the shipping cost tagged on to it. Having said that, solid steel is extremely durable and is an excellent choice for improving curb appeal and security fencing. For a similar look with a much lower ticket price, tubular steel is a popular alternative. |

Lighter in weight but durable, tubular steel can be galvanized and powder coated to protect it against environmental elements like snow and rain, and against rust and corrosion. Steel fences, due to their strength and durability, are a good choice for industrial settings where security is a priority, as well as residential fencing, where it provides both a gorgeous addition and security.
Aluminum fencing: aluminum, specifically tubular aluminum, is cheap and lightweight. It mimics the look of higher end metals like steel and wrought iron, but due to aluminum’s properties, its features are different. Aluminium fencing is popular in construction, homes and businesses where budget is a major consideration. If you’re looking for a nice-looking metal fence, but you’re not overly concerned with the fence’s lifespan or security, aluminum may be a good option. It is also an easy-to-work-with metal, as it’s more malleable and can be customized easily into curvilinear patterns. And if leaving a small environmental footprint is important to you, aluminum fencing is a good choice because it can be recycled afterwards.
Whichever metal you choose should depend on your priorities. If, for example, you need a high security fence that will last decades while providing a beautiful addition, look into wrought iron or steel. If your budget is limited and/or you’re not particularly concerned with your metal fence lasting decades, aluminum or even tubular steel may be good options.

We learn about your preferences, budget, area of fence installation and help to eliminate the choices that don’t fit for you.
