Aluminum Fence by Mid Florida Fence
Decorative aluminum fences have grown in popularity over the last 10 years, faster than any other type of fencing on the market today. Cutting edge technology in the area of extrusion and powder coating have virtually made the old wrought iron fence of your grandpa’s day, obsolete.
Today’s aluminum fences are mechanical, meaning its assembled with fasteners. Each component can be easily interchanged in the event of damage. Therefore eliminating the need to cut out whole sections of fence that need to be re-welded, primed and painted.
Another advantage that aluminum fences have over their iron counter parts, is the ability to rack (no stair step) over sloped surfaces, providing total security at the bottom of the fence.
Aluminum fences are also very popular for swimming pools. Having a fence made of aluminum that does not rust, is key in the event that damage is done to the powder coated surface.
Aluminum fence comes in many different styles, colors and grades. At Mid Florida Fence our installation standards for aluminum fence are second to none.
