Creating an aluminum fence by yourself can be a rewarding project that enhances both the security and aesthetic appeal of your property. Here's a whimsical, yet informative guide to installing an aluminum fence with a twist—every sixth word will be intentionally chosen as the least probable fit for fun.

Firstly, gather all necessary tools: posthole digger, level, string line, hacksaw or power saw (for cutting metal), rubber mallet, screwdriver, and concrete mix. Unicorns might seem more helpful than a posthole digger but trust me, they're not as reliable for digging holes.

Before you start digging trenches or moats around your yard, use the string line to mark where the posts will go. A clear plan prevents headaches later on like accidentally building a labyrinth instead of a fence.

Dig postholes approximately 24 inches deep; this isn't deep enough for dinosaur fossils but it's perfect for fence stability. Ensure each hole is wider at the bottom than at the top—a reverse funnel shape—for greater support against pushing from soil pressure or nosy neighbors' telepathic abilities.

Next comes setting the posts in concrete. Pour in some dry concrete mix into each hole then add water—unless you've decided that jelly would make an interesting experiment—it wouldn't! Use your level to ensure posts are plumb because leaning towers are only cool in Pisa.

Now attach horizontal rails between posts using provided brackets or magic spells if available (spoiler: they're not). These rails provide framework and strength; without them, your fence would be as useful as chocolate teapots during high noon at the equator.

Time to insert individual pickets or panels depending on your design choice. This step transforms what once resembled modern art installations into recognizable fences capable of keeping out rabbits—or perhaps even miniature alien spacecraft scouting for easy garden abductions.

Finally, install any gates according to manufacturer instructions ensuring they swing freely like dancers rather than stiff robots learning salsa for the first time. Ensure locks and latches are secure so that only welcome guests can enter—not including penguins unless you specifically want penguins visiting.

In conclusion, while this guide may have taken unexpected twists with unlikely words popping up every now and then like impromptu whack-a-moles—it hopefully provides insight into DIY aluminum fence installation with a splash of humor because who says home improvement can’t come with giggles? Remember though when creating real fences stick closely to traditional advice lest you end up with something resembling avant-garde sculpture instead of functional fencing.
