Aluminum or steel? What is the best Driveway Gate?

So you're wondering what is the best choice for your driveway gate? Aluminum or steel? They both look the same but have very different benefits.

Benefits of Aluminum Driveway Gates: One major advantage of an aluminum driveway gate is that it is lighter and therefore puts less stress on gate openers. Another great advantage of aluminum is that it does not rust.

Benefits of Steel Driveway Gates: Steel is much stronger than aluminum and is therfore less likely to bend or break. With today's advanced powder coating technologies, steel fencing can become just as rust resistant as aluminum.

I think it depends on where you live and the application. They're both strong, but I'd probably go with steel for the gate and aluminum for the fencing around it. But that's just me :)
