Your 50-Foot Aluminum Shopping List
Elegant, rust-proof panels perfect for pool enclosures and front yards. Powder-coated in black, bronze, or white. Virtually maintenance-free.
At 6-foot spacing, 50 feet divides into 9 sections. That means 10 line and end posts, plus 2 gate posts if you add a walk gate, for 12 posts total. Each post takes 2 bags of 60 lb concrete, so buy 24 bags.
Doing it yourself, material cost is about $1,250–$2,000. Hiring a contractor typically adds $5–$15 per foot in labor, or about $250–$750 for this length, for an installed total near $1,500–$2,750. Prices vary by region, so treat these as planning numbers.
