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.

Aluminum vs composite

Want the wood look? Compare what is underneath.

Composite gives a wood-inspired board. Wood-look aluminum gives the same warm look on an architectural aluminum system.

7-stage vs standard powder coating

Same color. Very different finish.

Standard powder coating cleans the aluminum and puts it in an oven. Architectural 7-stage coating runs it through a full pretreatment line first.

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 ALU40 woodgrain 6′ × 6′ gate.

Can I install the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit myself?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is designed for DIY installation and comes with pre-cut, pre-drilled parts for easy assembly.

Does the gate look like real wood?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit has a realistic woodgrain finish that gives the appearance of natural wood without maintenance.

Is the gate resistant to weather and rust?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is made from aluminum and has a powder-coated finish, making it resistant to rust and weather damage.

Does the gate provide full privacy?

The Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit has a half-gap design, which allows some airflow and light while still providing good privacy.

Where can this gate be used?

The Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is ideal for side yards, backyards, gardens, pool areas, and other pedestrian access points.

What aluminum and coating system is used?

The gate is built from 6063-T6 architectural aluminum and the product presentation identifies an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coating direction. The woodgrain finish is designed to provide the appearance of wood without the recurring staining and sealing cycle of natural timber.

What does the 1/2-inch horizontal gap do?

The half-gap layout allows some airflow and natural light through the gate while still creating meaningful visual screening. It is not a fully solid privacy surface.

Can the finish or gate configuration be customized?

The product content identifies woodgrain and solid powder-coat finish options, left- or right-hinge orientation, latch and lock choices, and custom sizes for projects that require a different configuration.

Is this gate intended for pedestrian access?

Yes. The product is positioned for wider pedestrian openings, side yards, backyards, garden access, pool-area layouts, and similar walk-through access points.

Is the aluminum non-combustible?

The product listing identifies the aluminum as non-combustible. Complete project compliance still depends on the full assembly, installation location, and applicable local requirements.

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.

  • ½″ horizontal gap design: Allows airflow and light while maintaining privacy and security.

  • DIY PAD gate system: Designed for easy assembly and smooth operation in residential applications.

  • Low maintenance performance: No staining, sealing, or repainting required.

  • DIY-friendly installation: Pre-cut and pre-drilled components eliminate guesswork and reduce install time.

For homeowners, this means a long-lasting gate that looks custom-built and requires minimal upkeep. For DIY builders, it offers a reliable system that installs cleanly with standard tools.

Applications: Where and How It’s Used

This Universal DIY 6′ × 6′ aluminum gate kit is designed to work across a wide range of residential and light-use applications.

Ideal uses include:

  • Residential side yard and backyard gates: Creates a modern, cohesive entry point.

  • Walk-through access gates: Perfect for wider pedestrian openings.

  • Pool and garden enclosures: Maintains airflow and visibility while enhancing design.

  • Landscape and home improvement projects: Integrates seamlessly with modern exterior materials such as stucco, stone, or composite cladding.

Because it’s universal, the gate can be installed with existing posts or paired with matching aluminum posts and panels for a fully coordinated fencing system.

Design & Durability: Materials, Finishes, Customization

The Alu40 6.3 Woodgrain Universal DIY Gate Kit is manufactured from 6063-T6 architectural aluminum, selected for its corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term dimensional stability. The DIY PAD frame is engineered to provide dependable strength while remaining lightweight and easy to assemble.

Each component is finished with a high-definition woodgrain powder coating that is thermally bonded to the aluminum surface. This finish delivers rich texture and color depth while remaining UV-stable and resistant to peeling, chipping, or corrosion.

Available customization options include:

  • Choice of woodgrain or solid powder-coat finishes

  • Left or right hinge orientation

  • Standard or upgraded latch and lock options

These options allow homeowners and builders to customize the gate to match their fencing layout and overall exterior design.

Material & performance

Wood look without giving up the exterior advantages of aluminum.

The gate uses architectural aluminum with a high-definition woodgrain finish for a modern residential entry that avoids the recurring upkeep associated with natural wood.

Non-combustible material: the aluminum substrate is identified as non-combustible. Complete project compliance depends on the full assembly, installation location, and applicable local requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Plan the woodgrain finish, privacy level, installation, and pedestrian-gate layout before ordering.

The original gate questions are included along with additional planning answers for material, finish, configuration, and non-combustible aluminum.

Can I install the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit myself?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is designed for DIY installation and comes with pre-cut, pre-drilled parts for easy assembly.

Does the gate look like real wood?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit has a realistic woodgrain finish that gives the appearance of natural wood without maintenance.

Is the gate resistant to weather and rust?

Yes, the Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is made from aluminum and has a powder-coated finish, making it resistant to rust and weather damage.

Does the gate provide full privacy?

The Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit has a half-gap design, which allows some airflow and light while still providing good privacy.

Where can this gate be used?

The Alu40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Aluminum Gate Kit is ideal for side yards, backyards, gardens, pool areas, and other pedestrian access points.

What aluminum and coating system is used?

The gate is built from 6063-T6 architectural aluminum and the product presentation identifies an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coating direction. The woodgrain finish is designed to provide the appearance of wood without the recurring staining and sealing cycle of natural timber.

What does the 1/2-inch horizontal gap do?

The half-gap layout allows some airflow and natural light through the gate while still creating meaningful visual screening. It is not a fully solid privacy surface.

Can the finish or gate configuration be customized?

The product content identifies woodgrain and solid powder-coat finish options, left- or right-hinge orientation, latch and lock choices, and custom sizes for projects that require a different configuration.

Is this gate intended for pedestrian access?

Yes. The product is positioned for wider pedestrian openings, side yards, backyards, garden access, pool-area layouts, and similar walk-through access points.

Is the aluminum non-combustible?

The product listing identifies the aluminum as non-combustible. Complete project compliance still depends on the full assembly, installation location, and applicable local requirements.

Request a quote
Should I choose the 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap?

A 3/8″ gap gives a tighter look. A 1/2″ gap lets a little more air and light through. Match it to the gap on your fence so the gate and fence line up visually.

Why does the 6′ × 6′ kit include an extra hinge?

The 6′ × 6′ kit adds one more HD hinge on top of the frame's standard hinges to support the wider gate leaf.

Can I hang this gate on my existing posts?

Yes. The gate can go on existing posts if they suit it, or you can pair it with matching aluminum posts from the post options. Confirm your posts with our team if you're unsure.

Can the hinge side be on the left or right?

Yes. You can set up the gate with left or right hinge orientation.

Are the frame and slats the same color?

The slats have the woodgrain finish. The kit lists the 6′ × 6′ frame in black.
