Does aluminum fencing rust?

No. Aluminum does not rust — period. The powder-coated finish adds another layer of protection against weathering and UV damage. This is why aluminum outlasts wrought iron and steel alternatives by decades.

Is aluminum fencing strong enough for security?

Aluminum fencing is strong enough for residential security and pet containment. It's not as rigid as steel, but the pickets are difficult to bend by hand. For higher security needs, we recommend commercial-grade aluminum with closer picket spacing.
