The main reason why building engineers might prefer aluminum material over other materials is because of its lightweight and high-machinable properties. This allows them to come up with varying sizes of profiles that can be found across many types of building mediums.

Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made.  Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post.  For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic.  Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below.  The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.
