Some things are a one-time deal, like buying an aluminum fence. Quality aluminum fencing is strong and dependable, and will last for the rest of your life.
If your priority is strength and longevity, a well made aluminum fence is your very best option. Aluminum fences are known to have the strength of wrought iron fences despite being a lighter weight fencing material. They’re more affordable than iron fencing, but they are built to last for life. The weather can’t bother it, the wind can’t move it, and pests can’t eat it, so there’s no need for re-fencing after a decade. Quality aluminum fencing is manufactured with a protective powder coating, making this metal fencing virtually indestructible. It cannot rust or corrode no matter how much rain or flooding there is on your property.
Chemically, aluminum is not naturally susceptible to harsh weather, but our aluminum fencing is engineered differently. Because of its powder coating, aluminum fencing is resilient to just about anything. Unlike steel and iron, aluminum won’t rust. Unlike wood, aluminum won’t rot. It will stand strong even after enduring multiple ice, hail, and snow storms. No matter what type of climate you live in, or wear and tear, it’s unlikely your aluminum fence will ever get dented or damaged. The color and quality won’t be bothered by excessive rain or moisture. The color won’t fade after years of exposure to sunlight.
Also, thanks to ActiveYards’ SolarGuard ingenuity, the color of your aluminum fence is further guaranteed to stay like- new. SolarGuard is the proprietary color retention technology that helps protect your fence from the sun’s harmful rays.
When you have an ActiveYards aluminum fence, there is no maintenance involved with keeping your fence in pristine condition. While your fence is protecting your property, it’s also protecting itself. This thick, powder-coated material is made to protect itself and maintain its sturdy condition. You won’t need to repaint it like iron fences. You won’t need to restain it like wood fences. You won’t need to replace broken or rotted posts. The most maintenance you will have is simply hosing it down once a season. This is only necessary to remove dirt and debris from the surface to keep it looking clean and polished.
These aluminum fences are so strong and durable that they come with a solid guarantee for life. Customers can rest assured that their fence will last, and if there is any flaw in the manufacturing that compromises the quality, the warranty will protect your investment. The ActiveYards fence company reliably covers all of their residential and commercial aluminum fences with a warranty.
•Limited Lifetime Warranty for Residential Aluminum Fences - ActiveYards offers a limited lifetime warranty to cover residential aluminum fences
•30-Year Limited Warranty for Commercial Aluminum Fences - ActiveYards offers a thirty-year limited warranty to cover commercial aluminum fences
•30-Year Limited Warranty for Hardware Products - Residential and Commercial Aluminum Fences: ActiveYards offers a limited lifetime warranty to cover hardware products used on residential fences and commercial fences
Besides their incredible strength, aluminum fences have other smart design features making them a top choice for residential and commercial properties. ActiveYards uses a rackable design so these fences can be installed directly on the ground while eliminating gaps. ActiveYards products come with patented fencing systems, Corigin being the most popular one. Corigin construction connects pickets and rails from the inside out and fortifies the fence’s core. With this system, ActiveYards’ produces aluminum fences that are built to last longer than other aluminum fences. This smart design also eliminates the need for screws, which can become rusty and loose over time.
Aluminum fencing is much lighter in weight than iron, steel, and even wood fencing. Its weight is comparable to vinyl and PVC. Being lightweight makes aluminum fencing significantly less expensive to manufacture and ship. This helps to lower the cost. Because aluminum is lightweight, it also makes handling during installation easier. Being lightweight means the labor cost for professional installation is lower. It also makes it easier to install fences on your own.
If you’re shopping for an aluminum fence for industrial purposes, you should know that varying degrees of aluminum are available. Do some research into which grade of aluminum suits your needs before deciding on your commercial fencing. Regardless of the grade you choose, aluminum fences stand strong through all seasons.

Instead, find an artful way to encourage them to draw from the experiences that you yourself have had. Try saying, 'When I've done things this way, I've been successful.'"
