Top Aluminium Fencing related questions
In some cases, aluminium fencing is better than wood, but this can be a matter of preference. Aluminium fencing costs less than cedar or pine and costs less to install since most aluminium fences are modular and prefabricated, lowering your labour costs. Even with minimal upkeep, aluminium fencing can last up to 50 years, while some wood fences can only last 20. The only possible drawback to aluminium fencing is that it may not provide complete privacy.
Aluminium fencing companies will tell you that either way is acceptable, but these methods depend on soil conditions and your fence's purpose. Gravel is best for soil that's heavy and clay-like, while concrete works better in sandy, loose soil. While a fence set on concrete can stress active dogs, children and even large animals, one set on gravel can eventually become unstable. Before choosing either method, consult your builder and discuss your options.
For starters, steel fencing is the more costly option of the two. Steel fencing is more customisable and more impact-resistant than aluminium, making it a better choice for heavy industry and maritime applications. Aluminium fencing is a more practical choice for environment-conscious homeowners, as this can be recycled. While not as expensive or durable as steel, aluminium fencing is more versatile and can mimic stylish and more premium fencing designs.
For aluminium fencing, screws are more appropriate, but nails are better suited to wood fences. Screws may take more time to install and are more complicated than nails, but they give a better grip on aluminium fencing. You may find nails can be a more cost-saving measure, but they can loosen over time and result in more complicated and costly repairs if used on aluminium fencing.

What do aluminium fencing services include?
Aluminium fencing services include all the tasks and activities necessary to install an aluminium fence on your property. You can book this service to install most types of affordable aluminium fencing on the market. Taskers can help take measurements, dig holes and install the posts, as well as set up your aluminium gates and all aluminium fencing sections.
Taking measurements
The service can begin when you have the necessary building permits from your local council. Some Taskers can get these for you upon request. You should also note that your site should be free of any debris or obstructions. If this is the case, why not hire a separate service to clear the area of debris first? Your Tasker can then take all the necessary measurements with the appropriate tools to determine the exact length of the fence and the right spots to place the posts and the gate.
Digging holes for the posts
Once your hired aluminium fence builder has marked the spots for the posts, they can dig the holes for them. Your Tasker can make sure each hole is dug to a uniform depth, usually 600 millimetres. They can also ensure that the aluminium fence post installation is done right, with all posts level and set at a consistent height. After all the posts are in place, your Tasker can fill the holes ¾ of the way with concrete. The concrete is allowed to dry for at least 24 hours.
Installing the gate
Once the concrete is dry, your Tasker secures the posts for the gate and installs the aluminium gates. They may drill through posts and screw them onto brickwork or use anchors to secure the gate posts. After the gate posts are secure, your Tasker installs the gate hinges and attaches the gate. Following the manufacturer's instructions, they connect the gate latch to the gate post. Your Tasker can dig an appropriately-sized hole for the drop bolt and attach the drop bolt to the gate.
Installing fence sections
After completing the gate, your Tasker can install all the gate sections. If your perimeter is of an unusual shape or length, they may cut some gate sections to fit. Your Tasker can ensure the rails have the correct ground clearance and are all level with each other.
Â
Once all the gate sections are in place, your Tasker can fill the fence posts with the remaining concrete. With your aluminium fence complete, how about hiring an expert to work on your lawn? You may also want to put up a deck to enjoy your newly secured space!
Maintenance
Should you have an existing aluminium fence showing some wear and tear, you can hire Taskers to do maintenance on them. If your new aluminium fence likewise gets damaged, you can hire some Taskers that do aluminium fence repair–just make sure to mention this in your post.
