"The two aren't really comparable. Steel structures are more heavy duty multi-storey applications whereas aluminium tends to just be use for lightweight load load situations. Steel, if correctly treated and protected will last for decades or indeed centuries! Aluminium is less durable but as I say, used for lighter weight construction types."
