What is Aluminium Fencing?
Aluminium fencing is a modular perimeter solution made from lightweight, extruded aluminium sections that are powder-coated for weather resistance. It serves as a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber, composite, or iron fencing for residential gardens, multi-unit housing, and commercial properties.
Why choose Aluminium Fencing?
Aluminium fencing delivers an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, zero recurring maintenance, and architectural versatility, making it a superior long-term investment over timber, composite, or steel.
• Corrosion Resistance: Naturally rust-proof and highly resistant to moisture, making it ideal for wet climates or coastal environments.
• Low Maintenance: Powder-coated finishes eliminate the need for regular painting, sanding, or chemical wood-rot treatments—requiring only an occasional wipe-down with water.
• Modular Assembly: Systems typically consist of interlinked boards (tongue-and-groove or horizontal slats), decorative laser-cut panels, and versatile post slots for quick slot-together installation.
• Design Versatility: Available in diverse profiles—such as full-privacy solid boards, semi-private slatted louvres, or wood-grain textured finishes—offering contemporary aesthetics without the structural weight of steel or hardwood.
Aluminium Fencing for Home Owners
• Zero Maintenance: Forget painting, staining, or rot treatment. An occasional wipe down with soapy water keeps your fence looking brand new.
• Tailored Privacy: Choose total privacy with inter-locking tongue-and-groove boards, or add semi-private spacing using custom board spacers (25mm to 100mm).
• Modern Aesthetics: Available in wood-grain finishes (Oak, Grey Wood) and contemporary matt tones (Basalt Grey, Pebble Grey, Black Sand, Beige Grey).
Aluminium Fencing for Property Developers
• Increased Property Valuation: Sleek, powder-coated finishes create immediate curb appeal and elevate the perceived value of modern residential developments.
• Cost-Effective Lifetime ROI: Prevents expensive callback maintenance or early perimeter replacements common with timber installations.
• Fully Modular Configurations: Easily scale across master plans—combine structural aluminium posts with full-height screens, half-round boards, or contemporary slats.
Aluminium Fencing for Landscape Contractors & Installers
• Lightweight Efficiency: Aluminium profiles weigh significantly less than timber or steel, making on-site handling, cutting, and positioning effortless for a small crew.
• Universal Post System: Universal posts feature narrow and wide slots that function as intermediate, corner, and end posts, reducing stock management and setup complexity.
• Rapid LiveConfigurator™ Design Tool: Use F.H.Brundle’s online 3D LiveConfigurator™ to receive exact parts lists, scale CAD drawings, and instant quote packs in minutes.

Why is Aluminium Fencing becoming more popular?
Aluminium fencing systems, such as F.H.Brundle’s Marano® Boards and Marano® Integrated ranges, are seeing rapid adoption across the residential and commercial sectors for several practical and aesthetic reasons:
• Exceptional Longevity & Low Maintenance: Unlike timber—which rots, warps, splinters, and requires constant painting or staining. Powder-coated aluminium remains completely rust-proof and weather-resistant with practically zero upkeep.
• Lightweight & Trade-Friendly Handling: Extruded aluminium boards are significantly lighter than steel, concrete, or dense hardwoods, making transport, on-site handling, cutting, and assembly much faster and less labor-intensive.
• Modular Design Flexibility:
• Marano® Boards System: Provides versatile profile options (including Connect solid privacy boards, and textured profiles) that fit into standard posts or face-fix directly to existing structures
• Marano® Integrated System: Allows complete freedom to mix solid or slatted boards with decorative laser-cut screens (like Woodland, Sunburst, or Palm patterns), adjustable gap spacers (25mm–100mm), and discrete LED rail lighting.
• Simplified Post Hardware: Multi-way universal posts (80x80mm) use slide-in covers so a single post extrusion can act as an intermediate, corner, end, or T-post on site, simplifying stock management and installation planning.
• Architectural Styling & Finishes: Available in modern powder-coated colors (such as Black Sand, Basalt Grey, Pebble Grey, and Beige Grey), realistic wood-grain sublimation effects (Oak and Grey Wood), or raw Mill Finish for custom RAL powder-coating.
• Sustainability & Lifetime Value: Made from 100% recyclable material without needing toxic chemical treatments, providing an eco-friendly perimeter that lowers long-term replacement costs.
FAQs
Yes. Aluminium offers a far higher strength-to-weight ratio than timber or composite materials. Unlike timber, aluminium will never rot, warp, splinter, or require annual painting/staining. Unlike composite boards, aluminium does not expand, warp, or degrade when exposed to extreme thermal heat or UV rays.
Marano® systems are designed specifically for simple assembly. The lightweight aluminium components are easy to cut and handle. The range uses a universal post profile system that can function as an intermediate, corner, or end post simply by adding or removing channel extrusions.
Yes. Aluminium fence boards and posts can easily be cut on site using a standard miter saw fitted with a non-ferrous metal-cutting blade.
Yes. Aluminium is 100% recyclable without losing any of its mechanical properties. Choosing aluminium fencing reduces the demand for chemical timber preservatives and minimizes long-term material waste.
Marano® boards and posts are supplied in six standard factory finishes: Black Sand, Basalt Grey, Pebble Grey, Beige Grey, Oak Wood-Grain Effect, and Grey Wood-Grain Effect. Mill-finish options are also available if you prefer to custom powder-coat your fence to match a specific RAL color scheme.
Yes. The Marano® Integrated System is specifically engineered to combine solid privacy boards (like Connect 150) with 300mm or 1825mm decorative laser-cut aluminium screens using modular fixing kits.
