Aluminum & Steel Fence Repair Guide

If your looking for a fence that could last you awhile, you're probably going to go with aluminum or steel. To prepare you for potential problems and repair needs ahead of time, we're outlining a quick aluminum and steel fence guide below:

Especially if you live in a rainy climate, a steel fence will eventually rust. The best solution is brushing on new paint, however, spray paint will also do the trick.

If a steel fence becomes bent, twisted or damaged, you can probably hammer it right back into shape. For an aluminum fence, however, you might need to completely replace that damaged section.

Many people choose steel or aluminum if they are going to implement a gate. When a gate becomes stiff and doesn't swing open freely, you can lubricate the moving parts. If it continues to happen anyway, you might want to replace the hinges and latches.

Remember that a great benefit of aluminum and steel is that their washable. Therefore, if your fence becomes stained or grimy, you can clean it right up with detergent and warm water.
