| cannot rot. It has a natural oxide coating that protects it from degradation. | can rot and get mold from constant hosing down of floors. |
| lasts a long time. It is truly green — both from an environmental standpoint and in the economic sense. Nothing says green more than reusing aluminum. We remount units 2, 3, even 4 times. | can last, but is more prone to cracks, breaks, and high maintenance. |
