Aluminum or wrought iron? HOA will not allow a new chain link fence and I need self closing/self latching gates.

In Houston - Any recommended contractors or estimated cost per LF #s?

All of the chain link fences I've put up were some kind of galvanized steel. Never seen one made out of those two materials.

I don't think he's going back with chain link. Going with an alternative fence and wants opinions on aluminum v wrought iron.

Aluminum

PRO
  • Should come with some sort of lifetime warranty
  • Less expensive than steel/iron
CON
  • More malleable and can be deformed more easily if abused

Iron

PRO
  • Classic look
  • Sturdy, solid product
    • CON
  • Won't last forever
  • More expensive than Aluminum

    • Warning a good residential steel/iron product should come with a 10+ (likely 20) year warranty. There is a lot of cheap, cheap steel product out there that comes with only a 1-year warranty that contractors use (tyipcally on new construction).

    Fences should be like bikinis.

    Just enough to hold in the goods without spoiling the view.
    The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Ecclesiastes 10:2
