HD 6 ft x 8 ft Aluminum Gate Frame Kit

6×8 heavy duty aluminum gate frame kit for larger gates

This 6×8 heavy duty aluminum gate frame kit is the biggest frame in our HD pedestrian gate range. It gives you the structure – a 2×4 in. HD frame, corner brackets, channel kits, an integrated L-stopper and three double-support hinges – and leaves the infill to you. Use it when a standard gate size will not cover the opening or when you want to build a larger custom gate with ¾” or 1″ infill profiles.

What you get

Posts, latch and infill are ordered separately. If you are replacing parts later, the HD double support hinges are also sold by the piece.

Planning a large frame-only gate

A bigger leaf means more weight on the hinges and posts, so plan the whole assembly before ordering:

• Measure the finished opening and allow for post widths.
• Choose infill that is listed as ¾” or 1″ and suits the frame.
• Decide how each post will be fixed – wall, concrete footing or both.
• Check local code for gate size and hardware requirements.

If you are unsure about any of these, confirm with our team before you order.

Post options

The price list offers four post options for HD gate frame kits:

• 2in. – 1st option
• 3.15 Post – wall and concrete footing
• 2-way – wall mount only
• 3 HD – concrete footing

For a gate of this size, a concrete-footing option such as the 3×3 in. HD square post is worth discussing with our team. Follow the included instructions during assembly.

Good uses for a 6′ x 8′ frame

A frame this size suits openings where a standard pedestrian gate falls short – wider garden entrances, access for mowers and carts, or a custom gate built to line up with a tall screen or wall. Keep in mind that a larger leaf is heavier and catches more wind once filled, so infill weight and post choice deserve extra thought.
