ALU 40 Slat 18 ft. - WG - Yellow Oak

An 18 ft wood grain aluminum slat for long, seamless runs

This 18 ft wood grain aluminum slat is long stock in the Alu 40 profile, finished in Yellow Oak. Where a 6 ft piece would leave a visible join, one 18 ft length can run across a wide sliding gate, along a wall topper or through a pergola bay in a single warm, timber-look line.

Specifications

Best uses for long stock

• Sliding gates: span wide frames without breaking the grain.
• Wall toppers: long, clean lines over masonry.
• Pergolas: cut to bay width for patio shade infill. See our pergola range.
• Custom fences: cut odd section widths from one length for a consistent tone.

Gate frames are in the aluminum gates category. Using an 18 ft wood grain aluminum slat instead of several short pieces also means fewer cut ends to finish and fewer joints to line up across a wide opening.

Cutting and handling

Work out a cut list first so each 18 ft slat yields useful pieces. Support the slat along its length when cutting and handle it carefully to protect the wood-grain surface. Delivery or collection of long lengths depends on location, so confirm arrangements with our team.

Why wood grain on aluminum

Yellow Oak gives a light, warm timber tone that suits modern and traditional homes alike. Because the grain sits on a 6063-T6 aluminum slat, it avoids the staining and sealing routine of natural wood and will not rot or split. That makes long runs practical: an 18 ft wall topper or pergola bay in real timber would need regular maintenance at height, while the aluminum version only needs an occasional rinse.

6 ft or 18 ft?

Both lengths share the same Alu 40 profile and Yellow Oak finish, so you can mix them on one project. For standard 6 ft sections and single gates, the 6 ft Yellow Oak slat is easier to handle. Choose 18 ft when length or custom cutting matters, and order everything for one project together so the grain color stays consistent.
