/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - July 31, 2017) - QS Fencing, a Vancouver-based fencing company that specialises in the installation and repair of metal fencing, has published a blog to help people gauge when and if fencing repairs are necessary. The article primarily addresses two concerns: aesthetics and safety. For more, go to: http://www.qsfencing.ca/blog/

The blog begins with a list of five warning signs to look out for, and tips to help make sure the fencing is in good shape. For example:

"Test the integrity of the fence by applying a little weight. A strong fence should hold steady. If you detect movement, contact a fence repair company to evaluate the situation and make recommendations."

The life span of a fence will vary depending on what it's made of -- and how it is treated. A vinyl fence should last a lifetime. Ornamental fencing, like aluminum, is generally warrantied for five years, but can last much longer with preventative maintenance. If the cost and time required for fence repair and maintenance are getting out of hand, the blog recommends considering a metal fence.

Aluminum, it points out, is a durable replacement with a number of advantages that make it an attractive alternative for any yard:

• aluminum fencing costs much less than traditional wrought iron or even wood
• it will not rust like iron
• aluminum does not need to be painted every year
• black metal fencing blends with almost all landscapes, and is available in a variety of styles
• it is harder to breach than wood or chain-link
• panels can be made to adjust to the slope of your land
