  2. Choosing cheaper alternatives and wrought-iron fences can be a tough call as they require regular maintenance and repairs, making it an expensive investment. On the other hand, options like Fencing aluminiumcan prove to be an easy DIY project while requiring less care and upkeep. The same is easy to use and install.  Installing an aluminium fence Although the product cost, availability, and item costs may vary from one market to another, aluminium remains one of the most affordable alternatives for upgrading your home. However, before proceeding further with the installation of the fences or Motorisedlouvre pergola,it is important to take into account the following factors -

  3. Discuss the plans with your neighbours having shared property lines. Ensure that the fence doesn't infringe on their property. • Look out for easements in the deed. It may limit the design and location of the fences. • Lookout for zoning laws and regulations that may regulate the fences' size and placement. • Check with the neighbourhood association before installing such alternatives • The material for the fence • Aluminium fences come in different material finishes, panels, and posts of varying heights. You can choose to install a small fence to complement existing 4K pergola systemsor larger ones for keeping people and animals away.

  4. Similarly, the different styles like flat-top, pressed point, etc., are available using decorative detailing and patterns. Aluminium post caps also come in different shapes and styles to suit your unique requirements. • Type of posts • Posts are pre-drilled for achieving ideal placement towards the corner or the end of the line. The end posts have holes on a single side to act as either starting or ending points. Line poles have holes on either side and are ideal for straight runs of the fence. • Choose gate posts as these are strong and can easily handle the weight of a regular gate.

  5. Fence layout • It is important to take fence measurements correctly and carefully. Incorrect measurements result in compounding issues. These fences work well with gentle dips but not on extreme slopes. To plan these effectively, it is important too –  • Stake out the fence line from beginning to end. Include gates and corners. • Use a string between corner posts and location to determine the line along which the line posts need to be placed • Ensure that the stakes touch the layout string to install these inline • Fence slopes • When dealing with slopes, you get to choose from the following - 

  6. If the slopes are less than 12 inches over a 6 feet run of the fence, then the same needs to be raked or slanted. It is critical to keep pets inside the fence. • However, if the slope is greater than 12 inches over the same run, the same must be stair-stepped to accommodate different landscapes. It is important to use end posts instead of line posts when doing so. • Digging the holes • The posts are one of the most important parts of the fence that lies underground. Using a post-hole digger or similar tools, it is best to dig holes in the depth and directions given by the manufacturer.

  7. Backfill each post hole with 6 inches of gravel to drain water away. The hole must be in bell shape to stabilize the post. Installing the fence The fence is installed by setting the posts and fastening the face panels between the same. The exact way to do this varied from one manufacturer to another.
