As long as you are happy with the colour of cedar or wish to paint pressure treated wood every two years because the chemicals in the pressure treating prevent paint from properly adhering to it.

Actually since the "boards" for the fence are double walled heavy gauge aluminium there's not much chance of a dent showing up on the other side of the fence. It's not a ghetto cheap fence.
