FAQ

Questions, answered.

When should I order the L-Side Post alone?

When the hinge side is already in place, when replacing a damaged side post, or when pairing it with the 8 ft hinge post.

Do I need extra parts to install it?

No. The box includes its own cap, baseplate, fixings and striker hardware.

Can I buy both posts together?

Yes, the 2x2in Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit puts both in one box.

Will it work with another supplier's gate?

Confirm with our team if you are pairing it with a gate from another supplier.

Full product description: (Box) 2x2in x 6ft L-Side Post

2Ɨ2 aluminum gate side post for DIY gates

This 2Ɨ2 aluminum gate side post – the L-Side Post in our system – is sold boxed on its own for DIY gates. Order it when you already have a hinge post in place, when you are replacing a damaged side post, or when you want to buy the two sides of a wall-to-wall gate separately. It is 2x2in x 6ft, made of 6063-T6 aluminum with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating in black.

What’s in the box

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

How it fits the gate system

Our DIY pedestrian gate kits list five post options. The first is the Hinge Post + L-Side Post pair for wall-to-wall installation, and this is the L-Side half of that pair. If you need both posts, the 2x2in Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit puts them in one box. For the hinge side alone, see the 2x2in hinge post 6 ft.

When to order the L-Side Post alone

Buying the side post separately makes sense in a few situations:

  • The hinge side is already in place and only the opposite side needs a post.
  • A side post was damaged and needs replacing without disturbing the hinge side.
  • You are pairing it with the 8 ft hinge post and want to order each side on its own.

Because the box includes its own cap, baseplate, fixings and striker hardware, you do not need to source extra parts to install it. The aluminum will not rot or rust, and the black powder coating matches our black gate frames.

Ordering tips

  • Match the post length to your gate height and the rest of your hardware.
  • Check what surface the baseplate will fix to, and choose between the anchor bolt and wood screw accordingly.
  • Confirm with our team if you are pairing it with a gate from another supplier.

Install following the included instructions and local code. Browse all aluminum gates for compatible gate kits.
