FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can this post be set in the ground?

No. It is listed for wall installation only. For an open-ground side, choose a footing post such as the 3.15 post or an HD post.

What is in the box?

Post cap with screws, baseplate with 3/8″ x 3″ anchor bolt or 3/8 x 3″ hex head wood screw, baseplate screws to post, and striker plates with screws & brackets.

What goes on the other side of the opening?

The 2x2in x 6ft L-Side Post; the Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit supplies both together.

Is there a longer version?

Yes, an 8 ft hinge post is available for taller gates.

Full product description: (Box) 2x2in Hinge Post 6 ft (Wall Installation Only)

6 ft aluminum gate hinge post for wall installation

The hinge side of a gate carries the weight of the leaf every time it opens. This 6 ft aluminum gate hinge post gives that side a dedicated 2x2in aluminum post, fixed to a wall rather than set in the ground. It is listed for wall installation only and for use as a pedestrian gate post. The post is 6063-T6 aluminum with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating in black.

Box contents

Post cap Post Cap with screws
Baseplate Baseplate with 3/8″ x 3″ Anchor Bolt or 3/8 x 3″ Hex Head Wood screw
Baseplate fixings Baseplate Screws to Post
Strike hardware Striker Plates with screws & Brackets

Where it fits

Use it as the hinge side of a wall-to-wall gate with our DIY pedestrian gate kits, paired with the 2x2in x 6ft L-Side Post on the opposite wall. If you need both at once, the Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit is the simpler order. For taller gates, compare the 8 ft hinge post.

Why a dedicated hinge post

Hanging a gate straight off a wall can leave the hinges fighting uneven masonry or siding. A separate aluminum hinge post gives the gate hinges a straight, square surface to fix to, which makes it easier to hang the leaf level. The box includes the post cap, baseplate and fixings, so the post arrives ready to install, and the 6063-T6 aluminum will not rot or swell like a timber post against a damp wall.

Remember that this is a wall-only post. If one side of your opening is open ground rather than a wall, choose a footing post for that side instead, such as the 3.15 post or an HD post, and confirm the combination with our team.

Before installing

  • Make sure the wall is solid enough to fix a hinge post to.
  • Choose the anchor bolt or wood screw to suit the surface.
  • Check the 6 ft length against your gate height.

Follow the included instructions and local code. If your opening needs a ground-set post instead, confirm the right option with our team. See all aluminum gates.

Can this hinge post be set in concrete?

No. It is listed for wall installation only. For concrete footing, look at the 3.15 post or the HD post options.

What is in the box?

The 6 ft hinge post, a post cap with screws, baseplate with 3/8" x 3" anchor bolt or 3/8 x 3" hex head wood screw, baseplate screws to post, and striker plates with screws and brackets.

When should I choose the 8 ft version?

Choose by the height of your gate and opening. If a 6 ft post is too short for your gate, the 8 ft hinge post is listed with the same inclusions.

Does it come with the L-Side Post?

No, this is the hinge post only. The Hinge Post + L-Side Post kit includes both.
