1. Key Specifications

A. Material

Extruded Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, and corrosion-resistant.

Alloy: Typically 6061-T6 or 6063-T6 aluminum for strength and flexibility.

Powder Coating: UV-resistant finish (e.g., black, bronze, white) for color retention and scratch resistance.

B. Design Features

Pickets:

Height: 3–6 ft (0.9–1.8 m) for residential; 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) for commercial.

Thickness: 0.5–1.0 inches (12–25 mm) for pickets and rails.

Styles: Ornamental, privacy, picket, or spear-topped designs.

Mesh Options:

Aluminum Mesh Panels: For added security (e.g., 1"x2" grid).

C. Coating

Powder Coating: Electrostatic application for uniform, long-lasting color (e.g., RAL or custom shades).

Anodized Finish: Enhanced corrosion resistance (rare, mostly industrial use).

D. Strength

Tensile Strength: 20,000–40,000 psi (lower than steel but sufficient for most non-industrial uses).

Wind Resistance: Engineered to withstand 90–120 mph winds with proper installation.

2. Components

Posts: Hollow or solid aluminum (2–4" diameter), set in concrete or with ground spikes.

Rails: Horizontal bars (top, middle, bottom) connecting pickets.

Pickets: Vertical bars spaced 3–6 inches apart.

Accessories:

Decorative Caps: Ball, spear, or flat tops.

Gates: Single/double swing or sliding gates (manual or automated).

Post Lights: Integrated solar or LED lighting.

3. Advantages

Rust-Proof: Ideal for coastal, humid, or rainy climates.

Low Maintenance: No painting or staining required; occasional cleaning with soap/water.

Aesthetic Versatility: Mimics wrought iron at a lower cost.

Lightweight: Easier DIY installation vs. steel or iron.

Recyclable: 100% recyclable material with minimal environmental impact.

4. Aluminum fences excel in:

Residential/Commercial Aesthetics: Mimicking wrought iron without the upkeep.

Coastal/High-Moisture Areas: Resisting saltwater and humidity.

Pool Safety: Meeting code requirements with durable, non-corrosive materials.

Choose height, design, and coating based on your needs (e.g., 6-ft spear-topped for security, 4-ft picket for curb appeal). Pair with automated gates or solar lighting for enhanced functionality. Ideal for homeowners prioritizing style, longevity, and minimal maintenance.
