FAQ
Can I install the Alu40 Universal DIY 4′ x 6′ Gate Kit BLACK by myself?
Yes! This kit is designed for DIY users. All components are pre-sized and engineered for easy, straightforward assembly with no welding required.
Is the gate frame already sized or do I need to cut anything?
No cutting needed. The gate frame comes pre-sized at 4′ x 6′, ensuring a perfect fit and faster installation.
Can one person install the gate, or do I need assistance?
One person can assemble the frame, but having an extra helper is useful during leveling and mounting. It makes installation quicker and more precise.
Do I need to paint or coat the gate after installation?
No. The BLACK finish is already powder-coated for durability, rust resistance, and long-lasting color. No additional coating required.
