Whether you have a private area you need to keep secure or your yard is on a steep incline, there is still a way for you to enjoy an aluminum fence.
Some properties come with unique qualities that make erecting a fence quite difficult. Perhaps you have a very rocky yard with larger rocks right where you need to put a fence post, or maybe you are hoping to erect an industrial aluminum fence around your place of business but you need to leave space for multiple driveways. Perhaps you need to fence in a very inclined yard but aren’t sure if aluminum is right for you. Whatever your situation may be, you can rest assured there is a fencing solution for your yard.
Slopes and hills
The most common tricky yard situation includes steep inclines. Not all fence types are ideal for slopes and hills, but aluminum fences can handle these ground differences with ease. The vertical style of a residential or industrial aluminum fence means it can handle any slope. For racked fencing, the key is to ensure the rails at the bottom and top stay parallel to the ground and the pickets or panels themselves stick straight up into the air, completely parallel to each other.
Do not make the mistake of putting the posts and pickets on a slant to go with the hill. They should all be parallel, with one next to the other. You just need to ensure you are choosing the correct height for what you need, which may change depending on the slope. Another choice that may work better for you is stepped fencing, where a few sections or panels of fence are next to each other, with the tops making a sort of step design. With this design, the bottoms of the panels may have triangular gaps in some parts and not reach the ground completely.
Tight corners
Thankfully, the corners of your yard can also be fenced in with ease, even those tricky corners where two sides come to a point with a very narrow space between them. This type of property line can happen for a myriad of reasons, but there’s no need to worry. Some people elect to bypass the corner altogether and stop the fence a bit short of the corner to help with mowing the lawn in the future. If you must keep a tricky corner, just be sure you aren’t leaving too much space from that post to the next to give it a symmetrical aesthetic. Aluminum fences in tight corners look quite pleasing compared to chain link or wooden fences, which can both look a bit busy in tight spaces. The vertical nature of the aluminum fence helps the look of the fence.
Hidden areas
Another tricky scenario that could occur while fencing in your commercial, industrial or residential property occurs when you have areas of the yard that you wish to keep hidden. This may be the area of the property that houses trash and recycling, or it could be an area that needs to have a bit more security and shouldn’t be viewable from the outside. To accommodate this, you can choose to have privacy panels put in that block the view of whatever is inside. This can be helpful for aesthetic or security reasons. No matter how your yard is laid out, there will be a fencing solution for you.
