Upgrading Chain Link Fences to Aluminum Systems in Israel
t307-20

Upgrading a chain link fence to an aluminum system means replacing the mesh and posts with custom-made panels that have a cleaner, more finished look. The new fence is measured to your property, fabricated in our Tel Aviv factory, and installed with a finish suited to the outdoor conditions.
Why Owners Move from Chain Link to Aluminum
Chain link is practical, but over time it can look worn, sag, or clash with a modern home. Many owners want a fence that looks deliberate and matches the building's facade, gate and garden design.
Aluminum offers clean lines, a range of profiles and a surface that does not need the frequent upkeep of bare metal. It can be designed to give privacy or an open view, depending on what you need.
What Changes in the Upgrade
The upgrade is more than swapping one material for another. The existing posts, footings and boundary line are reviewed first, because they determine what can be reused and what must be replaced.
- Panel design: solid, slatted or open infill
- Posts and base connections matched to the new panels
- Gate and access points updated to suit the new layout
Our Process from Inquiry to Installation
Start by sending photos of your current fence and the area it covers. We then measure on site and prepare a drawing and a written specification so you can see exactly what is proposed before anything is ordered.
Once you approve the drawing, the panels are produced in our factory on Rival Street and finished as specified. The fence is then installed on your property, and we check alignment and fixings before handing it over.
Choosing Aluminum or Iron for Your Upgrade
Both materials can replace chain link, and the right choice depends on the look you want, the strength required and the type of boundary. Aluminum is lighter and well suited to clean, contemporary designs, while iron offers a heavier, more traditional presence.
We can discuss both options during the site visit and show how each would look against your building and surroundings.
Safety, Height and Standards
A new fence has to be safe for children, pets and neighbours, and the height, gap sizes and fixings all matter. For railings and guarding, Israeli standard SI 1142 is the general reference, and we check the relevant requirements with the engineer for your specific installation.
We do not give exact standard values here because they depend on the design and the location of the fence.
Preparing Your Property for the Change
A little preparation makes the upgrade smoother. Clear the boundary line where possible, note any underground services or irrigation, and confirm with neighbours if the fence sits on a shared line.
- Mark the exact boundary you want the fence to follow
- Tell us about gates, cars and pedestrian access
- Share photos of the existing posts and footings
Frequently asked questions
Can the existing chain link posts be reused?
Sometimes, but it depends on their condition, depth and alignment. We check them on site and tell you honestly whether to reuse or replace them.
Is aluminum better than iron for a fence upgrade?
Neither is better in every case. Aluminum suits clean, lighter designs, while iron gives a heavier traditional look, and we can advise based on your site.
Do I need to approve a drawing before production?
Yes. We prepare a drawing and written specification, and production starts only after you approve it.
Will the fence be installed by your team?
Installation is part of our process, and we check alignment and fixings before the work is handed over.
Common mistakes to avoid
A common mistake is ordering before measuring the exact boundary and the gate positions, which leads to changes later. Another is ignoring the condition of the existing footings, which can affect stability.
Our recommendation
Measure and photograph the whole boundary before contacting a fabricator, and decide early where gates and pedestrian access should be. Ask for a drawing and written specification so the design is clear before production.
Summary
Upgrading chain link to aluminum gives you a cleaner, more finished fence that suits your home. A careful site visit, a clear drawing and a planned installation make the change smooth.
