Selecting the right fence is about more than marking your property’s boundaries — it’s about security, aesthetics, durability, and long-term value. In the Lafayette and Acadiana regions, where heat, humidity, and unpredictable storms are common, not just any fence will do. That’s why more homeowners and businesses are turning to aluminum fencing in Lafayette LA from Basin Fence.
If you’re considering new fencing, here’s why ornamental aluminum fencing should be at the top of your list.
What is Aluminum Fencing and Why It’s Gaining Popularity
Aluminum fencing is designed to mimic the sophisticated appearance of wrought iron but without the drawbacks. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and extremely durable. Ornamental aluminum fencing offers security and beauty, making it ideal for both residential and commercial properties throughout Acadiana.
At Basin Fence, we proudly offer American-made aluminum fences, crafted from high-quality materials and built to stand up to Louisiana’s tough weather.
Unlike iron, which rusts, or wood, which can rot and warp, aluminum fences stay looking beautiful year after year with little upkeep.
Aluminum fencing combines:
✅ Classic style
✅ Lightweight strength
✅ Rust-free performance
✅ Virtually no maintenance
Built to Last: Durability and Low Maintenance Benefits
✅ Rust-Free and Weather Resistant
Unlike wrought iron or untreated steel, aluminum fences naturally resist rust and corrosion. Aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that prevents moisture from breaking down the material. This makes it ideal for Lafayette’s humidity and frequent rain.
Where wood fences can rot and iron fences rust, aluminum fences in Lafayette stay strong and visually appealing for decades with minimal upkeep.
✅ Virtually Maintenance-Free
Tired of constant fence maintenance? With aluminum, you won’t need to worry about painting, staining, or sealing. Simply rinse the fence periodically to keep it looking sharp.
Compare this to wood fences which need regular staining or vinyl fences that may crack or discolor — aluminum offers a superior maintenance advantage.

✅ Strong and Durable
Aluminum is lightweight but incredibly strong. At Basin Fence, we go one step further by using Aluminum I-Posts driven 3 feet deep with our No-Dig System, boosting strength by over 300% compared to traditional concrete footings.
This method prevents posts from shifting or leaning over time, ensuring your fence stands tall even through Louisiana’s unpredictable weather.
Elegant and Versatile Fence Styles for Any Lafayette Property
✅ Wide Range of Styles and Colors
Aluminum fencing is incredibly versatile. Whether you prefer a traditional look or something more modern, there’s a style for every property. Choose from:
Flat Top Aluminum Fencing
Spear Top for more decorative appeal
Arched Gates and Custom Entryways

You can also select from multiple powder-coated colors. While black is timeless, many of our clients love white, bronze, and custom shades that match their property’s unique style.
✅ Boosts Curb Appeal
An aluminum fence instantly upgrades the look of your home or business. Unlike wood that may warp or vinyl that can fade, aluminum maintains its sharp, clean lines year after year.
This makes it a perfect addition whether you’re fencing a modern Lafayette subdivision home, a Carencro family estate, or a Broussard commercial property.
Cost-Effective and Smart Long-Term Investment
✅ Lower Long-Term Costs
While aluminum fencing has a slightly higher upfront cost compared to chain link or wood fencing, its longevity and low maintenance make it the smarter long-term choice.
With no need for painting, staining, or frequent repairs, aluminum fences offer substantial cost savings over their lifespan.
