Which Costs More: Aluminum Fence or Iron Fence?

[@toranada]

Good explanation. What about year over year maintenance cost comparison? Negligible?

[@Ironfenceshop]

Annual maintenance for both is about the same. Iron doesn't rust as much as people think when its treated properly and aluminum requires more than the 'zero maintenance' its sold under. I find both just require an annual walk of the fence line and touching up any damages to the finish. Even though aluminum will pit and oxidize, it won't degrade the metal as much as rust ignored for 5+ years on iron and steel will. However, you trade off A LOT of strength and durability with the aluminum. Its a much, much lighter-duty and easier to bend/ break type of fence than the iron.

How much 400 Sq ft linear would cost labor and Iron fence 5 ft hight?

[@Ironfenceshop]

You would need a linear footage to quote the fence. We can't quote by square footage. We don't offer labor, so I can't help with that. If you want to give us a call at 800-261-2729, we can help work through the additional info needed and answer any questions you have.
