Many of us have seen fences that are falling down and wondered why it was left to rot for so long without being repaired. In many cases, it’s because the fence required too much maintenance and the owners didn’t have the time or money to maintain them. That’s why you need low maintenance options that save you money in the long run, because they practically take care of themselves.
You might not think that aluminium or timber fences are low maintenance, but you would be wrong! Let’s take a look at both of these options, so you can make an informed choice when it’s time to replace your fences.
Low maintenance fencing options
Aluminium fences
As we all know, aluminium doesn’t corrode, so it makes the ideal material for fences. A good example is pool fencing that’s powder coated to suit your home’s external colours. These fences look smart and are extremely low maintenance. It’s highly durable, long lasting and increases your security.
Powder coated aluminium fences are easy to keep clean, don’t need to be painted ever again, and stand up to the Aussie elements. We can also install single pedestrian and swinging or sliding driveway gates that can be fully automated (frames are galvanised steel but can be powder coated to minimise maintenance).
Timber fences
When you source your timber from quality suppliers and you use quality timber that’s treated to repel termites, your fences can easily last for more than 20 years. These fences are low maintenance (unless you paint them, because you need to keep painting them!), look very natural and blend in well with your garden.
So timber fences can be low maintenance and can save you money if you buy top quality timber.
