Alu 40 - 8ft x 6ft H 2way post Fence Kit - GAP 1/2"

An 8×6 horizontal aluminum fence kit in one order

This horizontal aluminum fence kit 8×6 packages everything for a single 8 ft wide by 6 ft high section of Alu 40 slat fence: the slats, the post system that holds them, and the spacers that set a consistent 1/2″ gap. Instead of pricing slats, posts, brackets and spacers one line at a time, you order one kit per section and plan extra posts only where your run starts or ends.

The kit is built around the Aluglobus Aluminum Systems 2.75 2-way post system. Slats sit horizontally between posts and are secured with L-brackets, while the spacers stack between slats to keep the gap even from bottom to top. The result is a clean, modern slat fence line that suits backyards, side yards and wall-topper style boundaries.

What’s in the box

The 2-way post kit itself contains:

• 1 pc – 2-way post
• 1 pc – 2-way post press cap
• 14 pcs – L-brackets for securing slats and rails
• 4 pcs – 1″ or 2″ bottom spacers with screw bush
• 8 pcs – #12 x 2″ black self-tapping screws for the bottom spacers

The price list marks the 2-way post kit as made in USA.

Why the Alu 40 slat

Alu 40 is a 4″ x 0.75″ aluminum slat with a 0.047″ wall. Its 4-inch face gives a bolder horizontal line than narrow slat profiles, so a 6 ft high panel reads as a calm set of wide bands rather than busy stripes. With the included 1/2″ spacers you get a semi-private screen: views are broken up while light and air still pass through, which helps in windy spots and around planting.

• Material: aluminum 6063-T6, which does not rot, split or need staining the way wood boards do.
• Finish: AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating in Black, Bronze or White.
• Gap control: spacers set the gap, so slat spacing stays uniform across every section.

Planning your fence run

Each kit covers one 8 ft section and includes one 2-way post. Because a section is held between two posts, a straight run of several sections needs one extra post to close it, and every free end or gate opening needs its own post. The 2.75 2-way End Post Kit is made for those ends and includes a cover strip for the blank side.

• Measure the full length of the run and divide it into 8 ft sections before ordering.
• Mark ends, corners and gate openings, as each affects the post count.
• Decide how posts will be set. For slabs or footings, look at the 2.75 2-way post baseplate; otherwise follow the included instructions and local code for in-ground posts.
• If a section must be shorter than 8 ft, check cutting and bracket placement with our team before you start.

Changing the gap or adding a matching gate

The kit ships with 1/2″ spacers. Alu 40 slats are listed with a minimum gap of 3/8″, so if you want a slightly more private screen you can order a pack of 3/8″ 2-way post spacers instead; the number of slats needed for full height may change, so confirm with our team before switching.

To carry the same look through an entry, the Alu 40 pedestrian gate kits in our aluminum gates range use the same slat profile. Browse the full aluminum fence category for posts, spacers and loose slats in matching finishes.

Who this kit suits

A horizontal aluminum fence kit 8×6 in boxed form works well for homeowners building a first run of modern fence and for contractors who want predictable, repeatable sections on site. Every section uses the same components, so ordering, staging and installing a long run stays simple. If your project has unusual heights, slopes or wind exposure, share the details with our team before ordering so the post system and spacing can be checked for your conditions.
