If you live in Vancouver, Richmond or Burnaby, you know our weather beats up iron and wood fences hard. Salt wind blows year-round, winter road salt eats metal, it rains nonstop for months, and summer sun fades every cheap coating. It’s not minor wear — it’s endless headaches that drain your cash every single year.
The Hidden Downside of Iron Gates
We hear the same story from nearly every customer that walks into AceWorks. Folks buy iron gates thinking they’ll hold up forever, but rust creeps into every weld within two years. They spend whole weekends sanding rust, buying expensive outdoor paint, or paying handymen hundreds of dollars for touch-ups. Even so-called “rust-proof coated” iron only lasts a little longer before corroding again. After three years, most iron gates warp so badly they stick shut, and locks get loose enough to feel unsafe.
Wood Fences Carry Constant Decay Costs
Wood fences are no better. They soak up rain, grow black mold, rot at the base posts, and you have to re-stain them annually just to slow decay. Both iron and wood pile up hidden costs that add up to thousands after just a few years.
Aluminum Is Built for BC’s Coastal Climate
Aluminum fixes all these annoying issues, built specifically for BC’s rough coastal weather. Aluminum naturally grows a tough invisible protective film when it touches air. Salt, rain and winter chemicals can’t break through it — no rust, no wasting your weekends scraping metal.
AceWorks Aluminum Gates: Tough for All Seasons
Our AceWorks aluminum gates run smooth even through -15°C freezing winters, no bending or stuck hinges. The baked powder coating won’t fade under harsh summer UV rays, so your gate keeps its clean look for years. Many people worry aluminum feels thin and weak, but our heavy reinforced alloy frames come with heavy-duty anti-pry locks and hardware. Hit them hard, they won’t dent or wobble — your home stays fully protected.
Unlimited Custom Aluminum Fence & Gate Styles
We can craft any style you like with aluminum: sleek modern slat fences, classic carved gates, realistic wood-grain finishes. Every design is custom fit to match your house, no ugly weld limits you get with iron gates.
Lower Long-Term Costs with Aluminum
Aluminum costs a little more upfront, but you save huge money long-term. Iron and wood hit you with yearly maintenance bills and early replacement fees. Aluminum only needs a quick hose-down now and then, and it lasts multiple decades. Many clients told us the money they wasted replacing two rusted iron gates covered a full aluminum gate and fence set from us.
