aluminum gate kit

A horizontal aluminum gate kit you can install yourself

This DIY aluminum gate kit builds a horizontal slat pedestrian gate for side yards, walkways and garden entries. The parts are pre-cut at our Southern California factory, so it assembles with standard tools and no welding. 6063-T6 aluminum with an AAMA 2604 powder coat means it will not rust, rot or need painting.

How it is built

Universal DIY or Heavy-Duty. See every part.

Official Aluglobus exploded drawings. Every gate is a complete frame system with top and bottom members, never a fence panel on hinges.

Gate frame engineering

A fence panel on hinges is not a gate.

Every Aluglobus gate starts with a complete frame: vertical frames, top and bottom members, a slat track and a stopper. The slats sit inside the frame, so the leaf stays square and the hinges carry a frame, not a loose panel.

Aluglobus vs other aluminum gates

Aluminum is the raw material. The system is what you buy.

Two gates can both say aluminum and perform nothing alike. Here is what changes from one system to the next.

Build your gate

7-stage powder coating

A finish built to last outdoors.

Every gate profile is pretreated in stages and powder coated before assembly, to the AAMA 2604 architectural standard.

Powder coating line for Aluglobus aluminum
  • Prep before powder. Most coating failures start before the powder goes on, so every part is pretreated in stages first.
  • 110 ft oven. Long gate frames and slats cure in one piece in a 110 ft powder coating oven.
  • Coated before assembly. Every piece is coated 360°, inside the channels, before the gate is put together.
  • Colors and woodgrain. Black, bronze, white, custom colors and woodgrain-look finishes with TIGER and Cardinal powders.

FAQ

Questions about the ALU20 4′ × 6′ gate.

What is the ALU20 Slat Universal DIY Gate Kit made of?

The gate uses 6063-T6 architectural-grade aluminum with AAMA 2604 powder coating. The material is lightweight, non-corrosive and intended for long-term exterior use.

Can I install this DIY gate myself?

Yes. The kit is designed to be assembled without welding or fabrication. The DIY skill level is intermediate, so accurate measurement, squaring, drilling/fastening and hardware alignment are still important.

Does the kit include posts and hardware?

The standard configuration includes the gate frame and slats, while posts and hardware such as hinges and latches are optional add-ons. Confirm the selected package and options before ordering.

Is it suitable for coastal or humid areas?

Yes. Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust and is well suited to coastal and high-humidity environments. Routine rinsing and cleaning are still recommended where salt or environmental deposits accumulate.

Can I customize the color or size of my DIY gate?

Custom sizes and colors may be available for larger orders or special projects. Contact Aluglobus Aluminum Systems to confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.

Can I install this Universal DIY gate in concrete?

Not with the standard wall-to-wall configuration as listed. The specification table states that a concrete-footing option requires an HD post upgrade that must be requested.

What post sizes are compatible?

Compatible post options include 2×2, 2.75×2.75 and 3×3. The correct post depends on the mounting condition, hinge system and site requirements.

Is the aluminum gate non-combustible?

The aluminum substrate is non-combustible. Compliance with any project-specific wildfire, Zone Zero or building requirement depends on the complete installed assembly and local rules.

What size is a standard pedestrian gate?

Most walk gates are 3 to 4 ft wide. Our kits come in 4 × 6 ft and 6 × 6 ft; a 4 ft wide gate fits wheelbarrows and most mowers.

Can I install an aluminum gate kit myself?

Yes. The kit is pre-cut, so it assembles with a drill, a level and standard tools. No welding is needed.

Do aluminum gates rust or sag?

Aluminum does not rust like steel. The gate is built around a full perimeter frame, which keeps the leaf square instead of hanging loose slats on hinges.

Aluminum vs wood gate: which lasts longer?

Aluminum does not warp, rot or attract termites and never needs staining. It is also lighter, which is easier on the hinges.

Still not sure? Call (888) 876-3006 or send us your project.

Final touches

Install flat caps, inspect all fasteners and connections, verify clearances and clean the finished aluminum surfaces.

Buying and site-planning guide

Confirm the opening, post condition and hardware before the box arrives.

The 4′ × 6′ kit is designed for straightforward assembly, but the mounting condition still determines whether the Universal DIY system is the right choice.

01

Measure wall to wall

Verify the finished opening at the top, middle and bottom and confirm that the gate can be mounted to the intended side conditions.

02

Confirm post strategy

Compatible post options include 2×2, 2.75×2.75 and 3×3 configurations. A concrete-footing condition requires the HD post upgrade rather than the standard wall-to-wall setup.

03

Select hinges

Choose the correct bolt-on or weld-on hinge arrangement for the post, desired swing direction and any self-closing requirement.

04

Plan the lock

Confirm the latch or lock body, backset and handle clearance before drilling or final assembly so the wide side frame can be used correctly.

05

Choose the finish

Black is the standard color. Anthracite grey, white, bronze and woodgrain options may be available for qualifying custom orders.

06

Use HD for larger gates

For openings over 6 feet wide, move to an ALU40 or ALU60 gate platform when additional structural capacity is required.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you assemble the gate.

Common questions about material, DIY assembly, posts, hardware, coastal use and customization.

What is the ALU20 Slat Universal DIY Gate Kit made of?

The gate uses 6063-T6 architectural-grade aluminum with AAMA 2604 powder coating. The material is lightweight, non-corrosive and intended for long-term exterior use.

Can I install this DIY gate myself?

Yes. The kit is designed to be assembled without welding or fabrication. The DIY skill level is intermediate, so accurate measurement, squaring, drilling/fastening and hardware alignment are still important.

Does the kit include posts and hardware?

The standard configuration includes the gate frame and slats, while posts and hardware such as hinges and latches are optional add-ons. Confirm the selected package and options before ordering.

Is it suitable for coastal or humid areas?

Yes. Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust and is well suited to coastal and high-humidity environments. Routine rinsing and cleaning are still recommended where salt or environmental deposits accumulate.

Can I customize the color or size of my DIY gate?

Custom sizes and colors may be available for larger orders or special projects. Contact Aluglobus Aluminum Systems to confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.

Can I install this Universal DIY gate in concrete?

Not with the standard wall-to-wall configuration as listed. The specification table states that a concrete-footing option requires an HD post upgrade that must be requested.

What post sizes are compatible?

Compatible post options include 2×2, 2.75×2.75 and 3×3. The correct post depends on the mounting condition, hinge system and site requirements.

Is the aluminum gate non-combustible?

The aluminum substrate is non-combustible. Compliance with any project-specific wildfire, Zone Zero or building requirement depends on the complete installed assembly and local rules.
