$101.75
This 3×3 aluminum gate post 6 ft long from Aluglobus Aluminum Systems is a 3×3 in. square post with a .090 wall thickness, supplied with screw bush. It is 6063-T6 aluminum finished in black AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating, and its listed usage is pedestrian gates and sliding gates.
In the pedestrian gate post options, the 3×3 in. Heavy Duty Square Post (.090 Thk) is listed for concrete footing or baseplate, and the sliding gate kits list a 3 in. square post for concrete footing or wall. For surface mounting, pair it with the 5×5 in. base plate for 3×3 posts. For a footing or a taller gate, check the longer lengths below. Follow the included instructions and local code for either method.
All three share the 3×3 in. size, .090 wall and screw bush. Pick the length from your gate height and mounting method, and confirm with our team if you are unsure.
The pedestrian gate post options run from wall-mounted hinge and L-side posts and the 2.75 2-way post (wall mount only) to the 3 in. HD post for concrete footing and the 4 in. HD post as a standalone post. The 3×3 in. post is the middle option, suited to gates that need a free-standing post but not the 4×4 in. profile.
Close the top with a matching flat press cap and choose fasteners suited to your surface. The price list lists #14×2" stainless steel screws as a fastener for the 3×3 HD post. Check your opening width and hinge side before ordering.
A 6 ft. post is the shortest 3×3 in. length, which makes it a natural match for base plate mounting, where no length is lost below grade. If you plan to set the post in concrete instead, compare the 8 ft. and 12 ft. lengths so enough post remains above the footing for your gate height.
Material & finish
3×3 in. x 6ft. Square Post (.090 Thk) – Black is made from aluminum 6063-t6, finished with AAMA 2604 Super-Durable Powder Coating in black.
6063-T6 is an architectural aluminum alloy made for extruded profiles. It gives clean, consistent shapes and takes a powder coating evenly, which is why it is widely used for fences, gates and other exterior building products.
AAMA 2604 is the American Architectural Manufacturers Association specification for high-performance organic coatings, powder coatings included, on aluminum extrusions. It sets test requirements for outdoor color and gloss retention, chalking and corrosion resistance.
