Built for Vancouver’s climate
Wrought iron corrodes wherever its coating is compromised, and in a climate that stays damp for months at a time, that corrosion spreads faster than it would somewhere with a real dry season to interrupt it. Wood posts and pickets rot at ground contact and need refinishing to hold their color through repeated wet seasons, and moss takes hold on wood and composite surfaces here in a way a drier climate rarely sees. Composite panels can also sag over a long span once saturated, and vinyl can go brittle in the rare hard freeze. Aluminum does not rust, rot, grow moss, sag, or go brittle. Pool barrier height, gate self-closing, and self-latching requirements are set by your municipality, worth confirming early for any yard shared between a main house and a new laneway unit.

Why it suits Vancouver
Every other material on this list has a failure mode that shows up faster in a climate this wet, iron rusts, wood rots and grows moss, composite sags, vinyl goes brittle. Aluminum is the one that does not trade one weakness for another, and it holds up whether it is running the perimeter of a full lot or dividing a subdivided one between the main house and a laneway unit. Sourcing it factory-direct means the finish, panel style, and gate hardware are part of the same order. Sliding gates for a narrow side yard, cantilever gates where ground clearance matters, double swing gates for a wider lane opening, and a dedicated pedestrian gate onto the lane are all built to match the run. Spec the run and gates together through /brief.
