Frequently Asked Questions

There are many different factors to consider when reviewing “cost” of a low-maintenance fence. Factors such as, but not limited to: the grade of fence, the linear footage, height, decorative adornments, and wind-load requirements, can significantly impact your construction and materials costs. Installation costs can be impacted by: the location of the fence, accessibility, proximity to your closest fence contractor, soil type, fence materials and design, surrounding hardscapes and landscapes, as well as the elevation changes on your property. (In some cases, installers need to charge more to install the cheaper fences). With our limited lifetime warranty, great product options, and beautiful finishes, the value will exceed the cost.

With most of our products, NO. Most Alumi-Guard aluminum fence systems are designed to follow the grade. However, a few of our commercial and specialty products will not follow grade. This is an important discussion to have with your fence contractor prior to purchasing your installation.

Gate operators require a few things for proper function. Larger gate posts, specific hinges are required, and points for attachment are typical requirements as a minimum. Your grade at your gate can be factors to consider as well. If you would like an operator at the time of installation, or as an addition to your fence sometime down the road; it is imperative that you have that discussion with your fence contractor prior to your order so your gate will be ready for that addition.

Outdoor living spaces and curb appeal are very important in your homes appeal. A well maintained and good looking fence will certainly make your home more attractive. Poorly constructed, or dilapidated fences will set a negative first impression on any
home.

Most of our “Pool” styles and “privacy” styles will meet local codes; however, there are some exceptions. Check the requirements of your local codes to be sure, or hire a qualified installer.

All styles can segment to roughly follow a curved line. We do also offer radiused panels if the curved line needs to be followed with more precision. Radiused panels are significantly more expensive than a segmented line following a curve. In either case you will want to contact an experienced installer to have this completed accurately.
