Our unique climate in Southern California can take a toll on our iron fences, as they are constantly exposed to humidity and moisture in the air, making iron victim to the process of oxidation. Over time, your iron fence will show the signs of oxidation with rust patches. Rust is the number one enemy of iron fences, and needs to be removed on the first signs of its appearance. This can be accomplished using a fine wire brush. Make sure to lay a tarp beneath the wrought iron fence to catch flakes, wear gloves, and carefully brush away all points of rust along the fence, paying special attention to the post and joints.
And that’s where Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions comes in.
It is worth mentioning that aluminium window joinery has not always been so popular. Until recently, it was regarded as cold joinery, and there was a lot of truth in that. Therefore, whilst aluminium was used in warehouses, offices and shops, it was not used in single-family homes. Nowadays, the situation is quite different – of course, aluminium does not feel as ‘warm’ as wood and, when the frame comes into contact with a warm hand, it will feel cooler than, say, pine. This is all due to the fact that aluminium does not have as much ability to absorb heat. However, we should add that in reality its temperature will often be the same as that of the aforementioned wood.

Of course, having decided to build with an aluminium frame profile you will have to decide what shape you want. As previously mentioned, this is the strongest material but it is also one that are not as widely available as some of the other materials. Therefore, you may find that it will be more cost effective for you to build with some form of shed roof. However, before you do this you should think about whether you actually want this feature or not.
