If you live anywhere around Vancouver, Richmond or Burnaby, you already know our weather destroys regular iron and wood fences fast. Salt blows in off the ocean all year, winter road salt eats metal, it rains for months straight, and summer sun bleaches every cheap paint job. It’s not a little wear and tear—it’s constant, annoying damage that costs you cash year after year.
The Frustrating Downside of Iron Gates: Rust & Constant Upkeep
We hear the same complaint from every homeowner that walks through our doors: they bought an iron gate thinking it’d last forever, only to watch rust pop up on every weld within two years. They spend whole weekends scrubbing rust, buying paint, or paying handymen hundreds to touch it up. Even the so-called “rust-proof” coated iron barely lasts a season longer before corroding again. After three years, most iron gates warp so bad they stick shut, and the locks feel loose and unsafe.
Wooden Fences Bring Rot, Mold & Yearly Refinishing Headaches
Wood fences aren’t any better. They soak up rain, grow black mould, rot at the bottom posts, and you have to re-stain them every single year to slow decay. Both materials rack up hidden costs that add up to thousands over just a few years.
Aluminum’s Natural Anti-Corrosion Trait Perfect for BC Coastal Weather
Aluminum is the no-nonsense solution built for BC’s harsh coast, and here’s why it works so well: aluminum naturally grows a tough invisible protective film when exposed to air. Salt, rain and winter chemicals can’t break through it—no rust, no endless sanding sessions on your weekends.
AceWorks Aluminum Gates: Sturdy, Weatherproof & Ultra Secure
Our AceWorks aluminum gates hold steady through -15°C winters without bending or jamming. The baked powder coating won’t fade under harsh summer UV rays, so your gate keeps its clean, sharp look for years. Lots of people worry aluminum feels flimsy, but our heavy reinforced alloy frames come with heavy-duty anti-pry locks and hardware. Hit them hard, and they won’t dent or wobble one bit—your home stays fully secure.
Unlimited Custom Design Options With Aluminum Fencing
We also get full creative freedom with aluminum. Sleek modern slat fences, classic carved gates, realistic wood-grain finishes—we tailor every design to match your house’s look, no ugly weld limitations like iron gates.
Higher Upfront Price, Massive Long-Term Cost Savings
Sure, aluminum costs a touch more upfront, but you save a fortune long-term. Iron and wood hit you with annual 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.
