Aluminum & The Environment
Why choose aluminum over traditional timber?

Very little. Unlike timber, aluminium does not require regular staining, painting, sealing, or treatment. Occasional cleaning is generally sufficient to maintain its appearance.
Is aluminium strong enough for fencing and gates?
Yes. Aluminium provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, allowing Verra systems to remain lightweight while providing the structural performance required for fencing, gates, screening, and other outdoor applications.
