Spacing decides it. Butt the slats up close and the yard is fully screened. Leave a narrow, even gap and you block sightlines while keeping the light. Open the gap further and the fence turns into a clean horizontal line.

That is most of what we do here. We match profile, proportion, and color to the house, then build a matching gate so the whole line reads as one piece. Fabricating fence, gates, and any laser cut panels together keeps the run consistent.

Aluminum cannot rust, which is why the horizontal slat look is built in it, and that matters on lakefront and lake-adjacent properties where moisture never really lets up. Steel is stronger and carries ornamental detail better. We weigh the two against your design and exposure.
