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 4′ × 6′ gate.

What’s included in the ALU40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 4×6 Gate Kit?

The product content lists the aluminum frame, woodgrain infill slats, mounting hardware, hinges, latch and detailed assembly instructions for a complete pedestrian-gate package.

Can I install this gate myself?

Yes. The Universal DIY design is intended for tool-friendly assembly. No welding or special machinery is required when the site conditions and mounting surfaces are suitable.

How weather-resistant is the woodgrain finish?

The product content specifies AAMA 2604 finish materials and protection against UV exposure, humidity, salt air and abrasion. Routine cleaning is still recommended where environmental deposits accumulate.

Is the 1/2″ gap adjustable?

This SKU is specified with a 1/2-inch gap for a consistent horizontal appearance and airflow. If another spacing is required, choose an alternative configuration or request a custom option.

Can this gate be automated?

The product FAQ states that the gate can be coordinated with hinge-based automation hardware or electronic latch systems. Confirm automation requirements before ordering the gate and hardware.

Do I need to paint, stain or seal the woodgrain finish?

No routine wood staining or sealing is required because the gate is aluminum with a finished woodgrain surface rather than a structural wood gate.

Where does this gate work best?

The listed applications include home entryways, side gates, pool enclosures, gardens, backyard entrances, residential properties, light-commercial spaces and landscape projects.

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.

02

Pool enclosures

Coordinate the woodgrain gate with surrounding aluminum fencing and landscape materials where applicable.

03

Garden and backyard access

06

Landscape design

Woodgrain aluminum can bridge modern architecture with warmer natural materials in the surrounding landscape.

Wood appearance · aluminum behavior

Keep the visual warmth. Remove the staining and sealing routine.

Real wood can require recurring surface treatment and can change dimension with moisture. This ALU40 system uses aluminum beneath the woodgrain finish, so the gate keeps a wood-inspired appearance without relying on a wood structural member.

No routine stainingThe finish arrives complete and does not require wood stain.
No routine sealingThere is no wood substrate that must be periodically sealed against moisture.
No iron-oxide rustAluminum avoids the red-rust mechanism associated with ferrous gate materials.
Exterior-ready finishThe source specifies AAMA 2604 finish materials for exterior weather exposure.

Installation sequence

Six steps from unpacking to final gate adjustment.

01

Preparation

Organize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement.

02

05

Post and gap-cover installation

Install the side components and finishing pieces required for the selected opening and layout.

06

Final touches

Install caps, inspect all connections, confirm swing and closure, and clean the finished aluminum surfaces.

Plan the opening first

Confirm the 4×6 layout, 1/2″ gap, mounting condition and hardware before assembly.

01

Verify the 4 ft × 6 ft opening

Measure the finished opening and surrounding surfaces before the gate is assembled or mounted.

02

Confirm the 1/2″ slat gap

This SKU is specified with a 1/2-inch gap. For different spacing, select another configuration or request a custom option.

03

Choose the swing direction

Confirm which side will carry the hinge and where the gate must swing so the pathway remains clear.

04

Check the mounting surfaces

Make sure the supports are rigid, aligned and suitable for the selected anchors and hardware.

05

Plan the latch or lock

Confirm the access hardware and required clearances before final frame and post positioning.

06

Plan automation early

The source notes that automation or electronic latch configurations are possible. Confirm those requirements before ordering hardware.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you assemble the ALU40 Woodgrain gate.

Review the product’s kit contents, DIY assembly, woodgrain finish, 1/2-inch gap and automation considerations.

What’s included in the ALU40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 4×6 Gate Kit?

The product content lists the aluminum frame, woodgrain infill slats, mounting hardware, hinges, latch and detailed assembly instructions for a complete pedestrian-gate package.

Can I install this gate myself?

Yes. The Universal DIY design is intended for tool-friendly assembly. No welding or special machinery is required when the site conditions and mounting surfaces are suitable.

How weather-resistant is the woodgrain finish?

The product content specifies AAMA 2604 finish materials and protection against UV exposure, humidity, salt air and abrasion. Routine cleaning is still recommended where environmental deposits accumulate.

Is the 1/2″ gap adjustable?

This SKU is specified with a 1/2-inch gap for a consistent horizontal appearance and airflow. If another spacing is required, choose an alternative configuration or request a custom option.

Can this gate be automated?

The product FAQ states that the gate can be coordinated with hinge-based automation hardware or electronic latch systems. Confirm automation requirements before ordering the gate and hardware.

Do I need to paint, stain or seal the woodgrain finish?

No routine wood staining or sealing is required because the gate is aluminum with a finished woodgrain surface rather than a structural wood gate.

Where does this gate work best?

The listed applications include home entryways, side gates, pool enclosures, gardens, backyard entrances, residential properties, light-commercial spaces and landscape projects.

What is included in the kit?

The 4' x 6' DIY gate frame kit, 8 ALU 40 wood-look slats (6 ft) and 8 end plugs. The frame kit includes two heavy-duty hinges and a gate stopper.

Do I need posts?

The standard kit is designed for wall-to-wall installation. For other mounting, choose a post option: hinge + L-side post, 3.15 post, 2-way post (wall mount only), 3 in. HD post or 4 in. HD post.

Should I choose the 3/8" or 1/2" gap?

The 3/8" gap gives more privacy; the 1/2" gap lets in a bit more light and air. Match the gap to your fence if the gate sits in an existing ALU 40 line.

Is a latch or lock included?

Lock and latch choices depend on your setup. Confirm the latch or lock you need with our team before ordering.

Is there a wider version?

Yes. The ALU 40 woodgrain DIY gate is also offered in a 6 x 6 ft size.
