Wrought Iron

It is another type of metal fencing. This is long-lasting and durable, as iron is dipped in electracoat rust inhibitor, and coated with a powder to avoid corrosion. Compared to others, it is more expensive. It combines beauty and strength to fulfill your need perfectly.

Aluminum

Another option is aluminum fence, which is inexpensive compared to iron. However, it needs to be painted once a year for proper maintenance. While choosing the metal, you should also consider the climate of the area you live in. Aluminum is the most preferred metal in humid areas.
