The Many Benefits of Aluminum Fencing and Railings

Aluminum as a building material has been in use for almost 90 years and in that time has proved to be safe, reliable, and extremely durable. Because the energy and resources required to produce it have been radically reduced recently, it is now regarded as one of the most sustainable building materials available. This course explores how the many benefits of aluminum can be incorporated into the design of attractive, strong, extremely durable, and corrosion-resistant aluminum fences and railings; how these products can be finished, specified, and installed; and the codes and standards that inform and govern their use.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Recall the numerous positive attributes of aluminum when designing fencing and railings.
• Detail safe, strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing fences and railings.
• Specify the correct aluminum alloy and finishes when selecting aluminum fencing and railing materials.
• Create customized designs to suit every aluminum fence or railing context and conditions.
