Mezuzah on an Aluminum Doorframe

Question

If I have a frame made of aluminum (the material windows are made of) from side to side and also on top from every direction, and there is no wall
Essentially, the question is whether aluminum is considered a doorframe

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

The entrance requires a mezuzah.

The obligation of mezuzah applies to every type of structure, as long as the entrance has two doorposts on the sides and a lintel on top. 

Therefore, even a structure made entirely of aluminum or metal requires a mezuzah.
