Let’s dive into the world of upcycling and unlock the potential of your used aluminum fencing.

Key Takeaways

  • Upcycling used aluminum fencing is a great way to reduce waste and embrace sustainability.
  • It adds functionality and charm to outdoor spaces, such as creating garden trellises and decorative wall art.
  • Upcycling aluminum fencing can also provide privacy and showcase your green thumb by using it to create DIY planters and flower boxes.
  • By upcycling aluminum fencing, you can add rustic charm and creative storage solutions to your living space while reflecting your unique style and personality.

DIY Garden Trellis

You can easily create a DIY garden trellis using your old aluminum fencing. Not only will this project give you a sense of accomplishment, but it will also provide you with garden privacy and a unique way to showcase your green thumb.

Vertical gardening is a popular trend that allows you to maximize your garden space and create a stunning visual display. By repurposing your aluminum fencing, you are not only being environmentally conscious but also adding a touch of style to your outdoor oasis.

To start, gather your old aluminum fence panels and any additional materials you may need, such as screws, a drill, and gardening wire. Measure the desired height and width for your trellis and cut the fencing panels accordingly. Next, attach the panels to a sturdy frame or directly to a wall using screws. Make sure the trellis is securely fastened to withstand any weather conditions.

Once your trellis is in place, it’s time to get creative with your vertical gardening. You can use the trellis to support climbing plants such as roses, ivy, or even vegetables like cucumbers and beans. The possibilities are endless!

Now, let’s move on to the next section about repurposed outdoor furniture, where you can continue to transform your old aluminum fencing into something practical and beautiful for your outdoor space.

Repurposed Outdoor Furniture

Transform your old fence into stylish outdoor furniture. Upcycled patio decor is not only environmentally friendly, but it also adds a unique touch to your outdoor space. By repurposing your used aluminum fencing, you can create recycled outdoor seating that is both functional and visually appealing.

To get started, here are three ideas to inspire your upcycling project:

  1. Aluminum Bench: Cut the fence panels to the desired length and attach them to a sturdy wooden frame. Add cushions or pillows for comfort, and you have a cozy seating area for your patio or garden.

  2. Fence Chair: Use the aluminum fence posts as the base for a chair. Attach a wooden seat and backrest, and paint it in a color that matches your outdoor decor. This repurposed chair will be a statement piece in your backyard.

  3. Fence Table: Take a section of the fence and transform it into a stylish outdoor table. Attach it to a wooden or metal base, and you have a unique piece of furniture for your outdoor gatherings.

With these upcycled furniture ideas, you can create a cohesive outdoor space that showcases your creativity and commitment to sustainability.

Now, let’s move on to the next section about decorative wall art.

Decorative Wall Art

To add a touch of style to your outdoor space, consider incorporating decorative wall art. One creative way to achieve this is by using upcycled garden sculptures made from repurposed fence panels. These unique pieces of art not only add visual interest to your walls but also contribute to the sustainability of your space. By upcycling used aluminum fencing, you are giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Upcycled garden sculptures offer a wide range of designs and styles to choose from. From intricate patterns to abstract shapes, there is something for every taste and preference. These sculptures can be painted in vibrant colors or left with a rustic, weathered look to match your outdoor aesthetic.

Not only do these repurposed fence panel art pieces make a statement on your walls, but they also serve as conversation starters. Imagine your guests admiring the unique artwork and inquiring about its origin. It’s a great way to showcase your creativity and commitment to sustainability.

Now, let’s move on to the next section about DIY planters and flower boxes, where you’ll discover how to further enhance your outdoor space with functional and beautiful creations.

DIY Planters and Flower Boxes

One way to enhance your outdoor space is by creating your own planters and flower boxes. DIY planters and flower boxes not only add beauty to your garden but also allow you to repurpose materials, like your used aluminum fencing, in a creative and eco-friendly way.

With just a few simple steps, you can create a stunning diy vertical garden that will make your neighbors green with envy.

Start by repurposing a fence gate from your old aluminum fencing. Remove any hinges or hardware and give it a good clean. Then, attach it to a sturdy frame or mount it directly on a wall. This will serve as the base for your vertical garden.

Next, add planter boxes or pots to the gate, making sure they are securely fastened. Fill them with your favorite flowers or herbs, and watch as your garden comes to life.

Not only are diy planters and flower boxes a great way to showcase your green thumb, but they also provide a sense of pride and accomplishment. By repurposing your used aluminum fencing, you are not only reducing waste but also creating something unique and beautiful for your outdoor space.

Now, let’s explore how you can upcycle your old fencing into stunning home accessories.

Create a Jewelry Organizer from Fence Pieces

Start by cutting a section of the fence into a smaller, more manageable size. Once you have your piece, you can transform it into a rustic inspired necklace display or a vintage inspired earring holder.

With a few simple steps, you can create a unique and stylish way to organize your jewelry. First, attach small hooks to the fence piece to hang necklaces and bracelets.

Now that you have a beautiful jewelry organizer, let’s move on to the next section and learn how to make a unique key holder or coat rack.

To make a unique key holder or coat rack, you can repurpose an old wooden plank and add hooks for hanging keys and coats. This upcycled wall decor not only adds a touch of rustic charm to your living space but also provides creative storage solutions.

By recycling old aluminum fencing and combining it with a weathered wooden plank, you can create a one-of-a-kind piece that showcases your style and personality. Hang it near the front door or in your entryway for easy access to your keys and a convenient place to hang coats.

With this unique key holder or coat rack, you’ll never misplace your keys again and always have a designated spot for your coats. Add a personalized touch to your living space by repurposing old materials into functional and stylish decor.

Make your living space truly your own by adding a personalized touch that reflects your unique style and personality. One way to achieve this is by incorporating customized wall murals into your home decor.

These eye-catching and one-of-a-kind pieces can transform any ordinary wall into a stunning focal point. Whether you choose a scenic landscape, an abstract design, or a meaningful quote, a customized wall mural will make a bold statement and showcase your individuality.

Another way to add a personal touch to your living space is by creating personalized table centerpieces. Instead of using generic decorations, opt for items that hold special meaning to you.

Consider using upcycled aluminum fencing pieces as unique and conversation-starting centerpieces. Arrange them with fresh flowers, candles, or other decorative elements that complement your overall aesthetic.

Great to work with a supplier that actually bids a job, completes it on time and on budget. Terry and his crew were a pleasure to deal with and installed a great product on a very challenging area. Would definitely recommend and use again

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

I called Terry to help with a damaged gate and masonry column. He came out the same day to help diagnose the issue and offered a sensible solution. He got the gate system repaired quickly and I was back up and running. I will definitely be calling Terry in the future. Thank you,

Excellent door and gate company. I would give them 10 stars. I had extremely tight tolerances and Terry and his crew engineered the gate down to the inch. Top of the line materials and great service. Highly recommend.

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I am extremely happy with the installation and operation of the our new Alpha Gate / gate opener. Their tech was very thorough and gave me an excellent walk through of the installed hardware and operation of the system.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
