TL;DR
An aluminum fence picket is the vertical bar of an ornamental aluminum fence panel, typically 5/8 to 1 inch square extruded tubing with a powder-coated finish that mimics wrought iron without its rust. Pickets are spaced to meet the under-4-inch gap most codes require, and pool-code panels tighten the bottom spacing further per ISPSC rules.
What it means
An aluminum fence picket is the vertical bar of an ornamental aluminum fence panel, typically 5/8 to 1 inch square extruded tubing with a powder-coated finish that mimics wrought iron without its rust. Pickets are spaced to meet the under-4-inch gap most codes require, and pool-code panels tighten the bottom spacing further per ISPSC rules. Residential, commercial, and industrial grades differ in wall thickness and rail size rather than appearance. Bent ones can often be swapped individually because panels assemble with screws rather than welds.
