Why an Aluminum Fence Makes a Great Security Fence

One of the primary reasons why many people choose to install a fence is because they want to increase their property’s security. Fences not only keep unwanted people, animals, and pests out of the enclosed area, but they also prevent children and pets from wandering away from the space into an area that could be dangerous or where they could get lost. 

In short, fences keep what you don’t want on your property away from it and what you do want on your property on it. No matter what type of space you own, once you install an aluminum fence, you can relax knowing that you have done everything possible to promote the safety and security of everyone on the property.

There is no doubt that fences add a higher level of security to outdoor spaces for both homes and businesses. So, if this is your priority when choosing a fence, it is understandable that you may be wondering what type of fence provides the highest possible level of security.

Many Fencing Direct customers who want to install a fence for security reasons choose aluminum fences. We recommend aluminum fences as most of our customers’ security fences because they offer impressive strength and durability, as well as customization options that allow customers to add additional security features. We will provide you with great quality materials and guidance that are sure to help you kickstart a successful fencing installation project.

Below, you can learn about some of the different elements that make an aluminum fence a great security fence.

Difficult to Climb

Because there is a large distance between the bottom rail and middle rail on an aluminum fence, this type of enclosure is especially difficult to climb. Even people or animals with experience getting over or around fences will struggle to do so with this extra-secure option, and most will likely not even attempt to cross the boundary due to the added difficulty. 

Customization Options

All fences have great protection against coming or going from the area, but aluminum fences also offer unique customization options that allow you to design the most ideal and secure barrier from the outside world. One popular option for aluminum security fences is adding pointy picket tops, which makes the structure unattractive to have to go over. Additionally, adding solar panel-powered light post tops will give the area more visibility and deter outsiders from approaching or attempting to climb the fence at night. And, of course, we offer materials for aluminum fences of various heights and with different spacing in between each rod, allowing our customers to choose whatever they think is most appropriate and helpful for their specific situation. 

High-Quality Materials 

Aluminum Fences are very durable and difficult to destroy or break through. Fencing Direct’s materials are specifically built to be strong and long-lasting. You can trust that the aluminum and other materials we provide you with will not only create a fence that is more secure than other types of fences, but that will also be more secure than one built from a different company’s materials. The long-term success of your project is our highest priority, so we will make sure that your fencing material is difficult to bend or break.

Attractive Appearance

While many other types of fences can provide your property with high security, including wire mesh, electric, and chain-link fences, aluminum fences are subjectively the most attractive. Aluminum fences provide you with the best of both worlds. They can protect you and your employees or family members while also fitting in with any landscaping or aesthetic goals for your property, as well as providing your property with light. You will have a practically unobstructed view of the outside world without needing to worry about the dangers that come along with it.

Low Level of Maintenance

A security fence can only serve its purpose if it is in good condition, which is why it is so important that aluminum fences typically remain strong and fortified without a great deal of maintenance. Aluminum does not rot, rust, or corrode due to day-to-day weather changes like other fencing materials may do. It naturally lasts for a long time without much added effort. While you may occasionally want to wipe or spray off any dirt or debris to ensure that your aluminum fence is looking its best, you should not have to worry much about any repairs or other work to maintain its impressive added security.

Additional Uses for Aluminum Fences

All our customers are homeowners or business owners, but we also understand that aluminum fences are versatile enough to have more uses than just enclosing a yard or garden as one may typically assume. Aluminum fences offer added security that can benefit your pet enclosures, athletic facilities, swimming areas, and more. They can even be used to divide an outdoor space into multiple sections. Whatever you need to be done, you can trust that an aluminum fence will help separate who is meant to be in the space and who is not meant to be here.

Installing any type of fence will make you a more difficult target for people and animals alike, as it will discourage outsiders from attempting to enter the space. Aluminum fences in particular will likely provide you with an even higher level of security and protection. So, if you’re looking for a security fence, an aluminum fence is a great option.
