While aluminum does have its merits, it just can’t compete with the grandeur and reliability that wrought iron brings to the table. It really only has an edge in the short term cost consideration and maintenance needs.

Aluminum profiles are metal materials. Aluminum add various metal elements to make various alloys, which have advantages that other alloy profiles cannot match. Aluminum alloys has light weight and high strength, and can be extruded into a variety of complex cross-section profiles meeting the requirements of door and window design for various new sections.

Many common objects are made from aluminum—cans, sinks, nails, ladders, golf clubs, staples.

6061 grade exhibits somewhat low strength compared to other grades in the 6000 series. Moreover, it has wide-ranging mechanical properties giving it incredible forming capabilities.
Speaking from personal experience as a welder, steel is a lot easier to work with than iron. If someone manages to break a piece of steel (which isn’t easy), repairing it is a simple matter of properly positioning the pieces and welding them together. In contrast, repairing a cracked or damaged piece of iron means heating the whole piece back up to nearly molten temperatures, then carefully welding it in stages--with pauses to reheat the piece--while sometimes giving it a whack with a hammer and hoping you don’t hear the tell-tale ping of a crack forming somewhere else. Iron is a finicky material.
Due to the price of materials and the relative difficulty of installation, wrought iron fences are usually more expensive than aluminum fences—but not by much.


Aging
Rails are the horizontal components that connect the pickets and provide stability to the fence. A standard rod iron fence will typically have at least two horizontal rails – one at the top and one at the bottom – although additional rails can be included for extra strength. The placement and number of rails influence the overall durability of the fence, especially in areas subjected to high winds or heavy impacts.
