DIY Aluminum Fence Installation: What Should I Look for When Purchasing an Aluminum Fencing?


Research is a key element in any purchase especially an online aluminum fence purchase.  There are several suppliers of fencing so it is careful to do research and search out a wholesale aluminum fence supplier that will ensure success in DIY fencing.  Purchasing a perimeter fence and/or a driveway gate is a large home improvement purchase that will be around for decades, it is important that it adds value, security, curb appeal, and is exactly what you desire. 

What Should I Look for In a Wholesale Aluminum Fence and a Fencing Wholesaler?

The most important aspect of online sales is customer service.  A superior product is nothing without the backing of professionals who will bridge the gap between your knowledge and a successful fence installation.  When researching a wholesale aluminum fence supplier, it is crucial for the success of your project that you can have a line of communication open with customer service experts throughout the planning, measuring, selecting, ordering, and installation process.  When first speaking with online customer service fence experts here are a few questions to consider:

  • Can you speak with one service rep from the start to finish of your project?
  • Are the customer service experts qualified? Do they have through knowledge of products and installation procedures?
  • Will they help with the design of your fence?
  • Do they offer both email and phone support?

It is important to work with a fence supplier that helps without hassle.  When issues arise with your product, installation, repairs, or warranty work it is crucial to have the backing of a solid customer service team.

Look for an aluminum fence manufacturer that has a solid reputation within the industry.  Again, research, research, research!  Determine the longevity of the company.  How long have they been in business?  Do they have a reputation for a high-quality product?  Do they have a solid reputation?  Are they know to be reliable? For example, iFenceUSA offers premium fencing that ships factory direct to clients both commercial and residential.  iFenceUSA customers can chose from 9 colors, 18 designs, 100’s of options, and so much more when designing a top of the line aluminum fence and gate for your home.

Although not the top priority in fencing affordability does come into play when choosing a fence.  Aluminum fencing increases in price when choosing higher quality grades.  A residential aluminum fence will cost less than an industrial grade fence just because it is manufactured with a higher quality aluminum.  When selecting a fence ensure you are comparing apples to apples.  Some suppliers will quote residential grade aluminum fence just to quote the least expensive option even when resort or commercial grade aluminum has been requested.  If your quote seems to be good to be true, it probably is.  Aluminum fence panel and gate quotes from iFenceUSA come with all the hardware you will need to install your fence.

Research is important in any online purchase but especially true in a large purchase like aluminum fencing.  When researching your new aluminum fence reach out to the customer service experts at iFenceUSA to see how we can make your fencing purchasing and installation painless from start to finish.

Considerations When Buying Aluminum Fencing Online

The convenience of shopping online has left many of us wondering why we ever subjected ourselves to the hassle found with going to the store. Getting what you want, when you want it, all at the click of a button has changed the way consumers shop.  Consumers can shop for almost anything online including fencing.  In fact, now-a-days purchasing a fence the old fashion way may even be harder than it is online.

Not only do you not have to leave the comfort of your own home, online fencing companies are offering additional services to ease the process from the initial planning to the final installation.  As with any online purchase it is important to understand the process involved with getting exactly what you want.

A Guide to Purchasing Aluminum Fencing Online

It is Important to Know What You Want

If you have not chosen a type of fencing your first step is to figure out what you want.  Many online fencing companies will send free fence samples to allow customers the chance to see and feel exactly what they are buying.  With fencing you get to sample different grades and colors, so you can feel the weight and see the color; this way you know exactly what you are getting and aren’t surprised when your order arrives.

A popular preference for homeowners is aluminum as previously mentioned.  Black aluminum fencing being the most sought-after material and color.  If you don’t have any idea of what you want it is a good idea to get samples of several different materials, colors, and grades from online fencing manufacturers.  The visual element of a sample can really help solidify your choice.

It is Important to Measure Your Yard

Another matter that is important when ordering a fence online is that homeowners order exactly what they need for their space, not more, not less.   When you are in the planning phase it is crucial to get an exact measurement of the yard perimeter where the fence will be installed.  This measurement, along with a detailed sketch can be sent to online fencing specialists to help them assess your need as well.  Double and triple checking measurements prior to placing your online fence order will save you time, money, and a whole lot of aggravation.

Once homeowners have an idea of how much fence is needed (total linear footage) they will divide that by the length of the aluminum fence panels, most common sizes being 6- and 8-foot sections.  Some homeowners will need to customize some of the fencing panels as adjustments are needed for landscaping but overall most of the fence panels either 6- or 8- feet.

It is Important to Know the Reputation of the Retailer and Fees Related to Delivery

More often than not people are hesitant make a purchase online because they are unfamiliar with the reputation of the seller.  When you are looking to make a purchase online it is important to check out the reputation of the seller specifically:

  • How many years has the company been in business online?
  • Read online reviews and look into customer feedback.
  • Review their shipping and delivery terms and fees.
  • Work with a retailer that offers a warranty

Shipping Terms and Conditions

Orders placed on iFenceUSA.com are generally shipped by truck freight (common carriers) directly to the buyers home or project site. The cost is based on the state to which an order is being shipped. (See the Freight Rate Table below). All information below is based on delivery to any in the 48 continental United States. For deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii or Canada, please ask for a special freight quotation.

Free Freight Requirements and Residential Delivery Fees

iFenceUSA™ will waive freight costs on orders exceeding $3,500 in fence material EXCEPT when shipped to some (not all) states west of the Mississippi River. In these western states, which are denoted in ORANGE in the Freight Rate Table below, iFenceUSA™ will waive freight costs on orders exceeding $5,000 in fence material and those denoted in RED iFenceUSA™ will waive freight costs on orders exceeding $7,000 in fence material Please note that deliveries to residential locations anywhere are always assessed a flat $50 delivery fee that is added to the freight amount on the buyers quote or order confirmation. This fee cannot be waived. In other words, for orders exceeding the minimum purchase requirements for free freight, the buyer would pay a maximum of $50 in freight if delivery is made to a residential location. All orders under the minimum purchase requirements would be assessed freight charges based on the rate table below PLUS $50 if delivery is made to a residential location.

Small Item Orders

iFenceUSA™ may ship small items via UPS, FedEx, etc. and will be assessed shipping and handling charges based on the rates of these delivery companies. These shipments are not considered freight. Therefore, items shipped in this manner will never be assessed the residential delivery surcharge which applies to truck (common carrier) freight.

Delivery Time

Ordered fencing material will usually ship, on average, about 3 weeks after payment is rendered. Some custom fabricated materials may take slightly longer depending upon the size of the order. Also, some shipping destinations may take longer due to being geographically more distant or if considered “remote” by the freight carrier, or other factors including but not limited to oversized product, special crating, or less often painted colors. Of course, we will do our best to get your order out as quickly as possible, but holidays and peak season rushes sometimes bring delays. While this is atypical and orders usually ship 3 weeks after payment (and occasionally a little longer), we do not make absolute guarantees to ship any order on any date or that your delivery will be on or before a certain date. It is strongly recommended that you do not schedule any installation dates until after you have received and inspected your aluminum fence shipment. If a delay occurs for any reason, IFenceUSA assumes no financial liability and it is expressly agreed by Buyer that any cost related to return visits by installation contractors, loss of income due to missed work, missed flights, etc. shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer.

What To Expect When Your Delivery Arrives

Most iFenceUSA™ orders delivered by a freight trucking company will arrive at the buyer’s curbside. Someone must be there to accept the order and to carry the boxes off of the truck. The trucking company is not responsible for unloading the merchandise cartons from the truck, or for relocating cartons (such as into a building or garage). The truck drivers are usually helpful, and, in many cases, they will assist you with unloading your order. However, they are not required to do so. This is an industry practice beyond iFenceUSA’s™ control. Typically, orders are shipped in multiple boxes on pallets wrapped in a protective plastic. This plastic may be removed and the boxes then unloaded from the pallet(s) individually.

Missed and/or Delayed Deliveries

The delivery company will generally notify you by phone to schedule a delivery date. iFenceUSA™ recommends using the most likely answered phone number for orders, such as a cell phone. Generally there is a designated window of time for the scheduled delivery. The buyer must be on-site during the entire window of time to receive delivery. iFenceUSA™ is not responsible for contacting the freight companies for rescheduling delivery or covering any additional expenses related to such process. All fees must be negotiated between Buyer and freight company and Buyer shall make payment directly to freight company for any such service. iFenceUSA shall not be the “middleman” in such instances. If a delay occurs for any reason, IFenceUSA assumes no financial liability and it is expressly agreed by Buyer that any cost related to return visits by installation contractors, loss of income due to missed work, missed flights, etc. shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Further, Buyer understands that all delivery companies used by iFenceUSA are independent and beyond the control of iFenceUSA. Buyer Agrees that iFenceUSA is authorized, at its sole discretion, to choose a delivery company for Buyer and that this arrangement does not alter any of the iFenceUSA shipping policy terms and conditions.

Delivery Acceptance Protocol / Damaged Material Liability

Freight carriers contracted to ship iFenceUSA™ materials are typically very careful but it is important to understand that damage may occur during shipping. It’s rare, but nevertheless possible. All damage is the responsibility of the trucking company and not the manufacturer or iFenceUSA™. At time of delivery, the buyer should inspect entire contents of all cartons for any potential damage that may have occurred during shipment. Inspection should take place right away, in full view of the driver. Just because a box looks damaged, does not mean that the items inside are damaged. Boxes must be opened up to confirm any damage in front of the truck driver. Be thorough, do not allow yourself to be rushed. If it is confirmed that there is actual damage to product, REFUSE delivery and contact iFenceUSA™ immediately for a replacement order.

If a complete and thorough inspection of the contents is not possible at delivery, the buyer must accept delivery with terms, place the note ”RECEIVED SUBJECT TO FURTHER INSPECTION FOR CONCEALED DAMAGE” on the delivery receipt. Without this, the buyer may not be able to file a proper concealed damage claim with the carrier. If the driver does not allow you to sign the delivery receipt in the manner detailed above, REFUSE delivery and call us. Deliveries that are signed free and clear of damages will be the buyer’s responsibility and not that of iFenceUSA™. No exceptions.

Shipping Errors

Any errors or material shortages need to be reported within 24 hours of your delivery. If the error was the fault of the manufacturer, Buyer will not be charged additional delivery fees. If the error was the Buyer’s fault, he will be responsible for cost of any additional products and appropriate delivery charges. All additional charges that are applicable will be quoted to the Buyer prior to shipment and shall be processed as a new order. In the event of a shipping error, iFenceUSA will ship replacement orders in the most economical way possible. On occasion, this may mean that material will be shipped unassembled and will require some assembly by Buyer. iFenceUSA will not “overnight” or expedite any shipment regardless of whose fault the error was. Due to weight of material, time it takes to manufacture, and other factors, there are no exceptions. If Buyer requires such expedited services and if these are possible (at sole discretion of iFenceUSA), Buyer shall be required to pay for the cost of these services.

Terms Regarding Local Codes and Ordinances

Products ordered from iFenceUSA.com are not guaranteed to be code-compliant for any particular use, intended or unintended, so it is important to be aware of local codes. Buyer shall be solely liable for compliance and shall hold iFenceUSA.com harmless from any lawsuits, fines, etc., arising from non-compliance.

Pros for aluminum fencing

When it comes to fences around the house, people are more often accustomed to the wooden fence panels. It is not surprising because wooden panels have been used for years and are kind of the tradition, especially with the white picket fence fantasy.

However, the construction industry has progressed over the years. Nowadays, there are better and more innovative alternatives to wood. For example, people are now turning to using aluminum fence panels.

Why Use Aluminum Fence Panels

The aluminum fence panels are recommended for various reasons. We have outlined a list of the benefits of aluminum fencing below:

Cost Effectiveness

Aluminum fence panels are as great as iron ones. However, you can get them at a much better price as well. Therefore, you get great value for an affordable price.

No Rusty Situations

Wood can often become worn due to weather and iron can become prone to rust. In comparison, aluminum is highly resistant to weather conditions. Therefore, it can maintain its quality and good condition for a long time.

Great Aesthetic

Just like iron and wood, you can find pleasing styles in Aluminum fence panels as well. They look quite good when installed properly. You can enjoy some great aesthetic and not block your view beyond the fence panels at the same time.

Low Maintenance

As mentioned earlier, aluminum fence panels are not prone to rust. On the other hand, they don’t need extensive or frequent maintenance either. They can go without a repaint job for a few years.

Durable

Aluminum fence panels can resist against extreme weather conditions and general wear and tear caused by the environment. Therefore, they can stand in place without compromised quality and condition for a long a time.

 

Easy Installation

They can also be installed fairly with ease. Instead of requiring any special tools or training, aluminum fence panels can be fixed into place with a little handyman experience. However, if you are quite unsure, you may want to hire a professional so you don’t have to spend extra later on.

Highly Convenient for Security

As compared to wooden fences or chain link fences that can be easily broken or cut through, aluminum fence panels offer better security. Moreover, their durability keeps each panel intact so there are no weak links in the entire fencing for anyone to make their way through.

Aluminum fence panels will turn out to be a great choice for your house boundary. You can install them both at the front and around your back yard. Since they don’t cost so much, you can replace your existing fencing with these panels as well. Most of the aluminum fence panels are available readily painted. Therefore, you can save the additional costs and focus just on erecting them. They are very light in weight as compared to wood and iron. This makes their handling and maintenance in the long run fairly easy.

You should consider aluminum fence panels for improving the security and aesthetic of your house boundary.

How To Choose An Aluminum Fence

Purchasing a fence for your home may become inevitable for one reason or another.  Maybe you have purchased a puppy and you want to keep him from leaving the yard.  Perhaps your family has decided to install an in-ground swimming pool and an aluminum pool fence is needed to ensure safety around the pool area.  It is feasible to want to install a fence for the sole purpose to provide privacy for your home, yard and family.  Whatever your reason for wanting a fence the expense is something quite considerable.  It is important that you have a guide to help you through the process of choosing a material and height for your fence.

First things first, when the time comes to purchase a fence it is important to look into the rules and regulations surrounding the materials and installation requirements of fencing in your local area.  This may mean checking with your homeowners association as well as local and state laws.  You need to find out if there are regulations with the materials you can use for your fence as well as height requirements. Some municipalities require that the fence is a certain distance from the street while others have specific requirements about exactly where a fence can and cannot be installed.

After you have done considerable research into local regulations it is time to examine what your reasoning is for installing a new fence.  This can help you determine what type of material and style you will want to choose for your home.

Are you looking into installing a fence to provide safety for your home, yard and family?  If this is the case you will want to consider a tall fence.  Fence panels come in heights over six feet to prevent intruders from easily climbing the fence.  You also can add in finials to the top of the fence along with a smooth sided aluminum fence to ensure that intruders can’t easily access the area.

For privacy you will want to purchase a fence that doesn’t have spaces in between the pickets throughout the panels.  The fence should be high enough to prevent people from being able to look over the fence as well.  Privacy can also be achieved using tall solid fence panels and landscaping materials.

If the fence is going to be used to contain your children or pets the fence can be installed using a variety of materials available.  The main thing to consider is a fence that is high enough that a pet or child could not climb over the fence as well as a material that cannot easily be dug under.  This is also true when trying to keep someone out of an area such as a pool.  If you are looking to keep children and pets from entering the pool area the concept is the same as well.  An aluminum pool fence should be installed that is high enough to keep people from climbing over it or animals from digging under it.

If you are looking for a fence that is for decoration only choose a pattern and design that compliments your home and landscape.  Fencing for decorative purposes also serves the purpose of creating a boundary.  You don’t need a fence of significant height when you are looking for a fence that provides a boundary for your yard or for decoration purposes only.  Choose a fence based on keeping the look and feel in balance with your home and landscaping.

For a complete guide through the process of purchasing a fence be sure to check out all the latest blog posts on fencing.  We hope this post sheds a bit of light to help you choose a material and height for your fence based on the purpose that the fence will provide.

DIY aluminum fencing: Service and value wins again

Last year my wife and I decided to have an in ground swimming pool installed but were concerned about the cost.  After about a month of research we finally narrowed our pool companies down to two.  Then the “what can you do for me that the other company can’t” began.  We wanted to do as much work as possible for cost savings.  We requested bids for both complete installation (including deck, fence, and landscaping) and just pool.  We decided on just the pool and do the deck, landscape, and fence ourselves.

The decking and landscape was an easy choice for materials.  The fence was a different story.  Every local building supply and hundreds of on-line companies sell aluminum fencing.  After receiving several estimates from four different suppliers, iFence had by far the best deal.  I was not only impressed with the price but the quality of the material was better as well.  Thicker walls on the posts and rails come standard with iFence, you have to pay for the same thickness with other companies.  And some companies don’t offer a .080 thick wall on post.  The web-site (www.ifenceusa.com) is amazing, very informative and easy to navigate.  It has everything you need to make your selection and decide your needs.  The design studio feature is very nice, you can see how each style will look in a home setting…choices, choices, choices.

Another important fact about iFence is that the customer service is second to none!!!  My sales representative (John) talked me through every step of the order.  He asked questions to get me started in the right direction, helped me decide on the correct style, color, and configuration.  John at iFence even gave me some installation advice to make my life easier during installation.  Payment and shipping was seamless.  And once my fence arrived, all I had to do was unpack it and install.  Every part was there in perfect condition, how rare is that?  After installation our pool area was the talk of the neighborhood.  Everyone kept asking about our fence and how great it looked.

I know it’s only a year old but it still looks great.  With literally 8-10 children (including my two) and several parents in and out our pool area daily, we have had zero issues with our iFence.  We are so impressed with the product and service of iFence, I just ordered another fence to enclose an area at our walkout basement to contain our dogs.  And again the customer service (John) was great!

My point in all of this is there may be a better company, there may be a better price and fence but I have not found it.  By purchasing the fence through www.ifenceusa.com and installing it ourselves we saved over $1500.   ifence sells a great product, the service is impeccable.  I would recommend to anyone wanting to install a fence, save yourself some time and headache by calling iFence FIRST!!

Very Satisfied Customer,
