Durability
The 6×6 x 10ft aluminum post with .125 walls is engineered for heavy-duty performance in both residential and commercial projects. Its extra-thick wall construction ensures structural stability, even in areas with high wind loads, seismic activity, or frequent storms.
Unlike wood, which is prone to rot, termites, and warping, or steel, which eventually corrodes and requires repainting, aluminum delivers decades of low-maintenance reliability. The black powder-coated finish adds an extra protective layer against UV rays, moisture, and salt air, making it particularly well-suited for coastal regions such as Los Angeles, Orange County, and Florida.
This durability not only improves safety but also ensures that your fencing system maintains its modern appearance for years without fading, cracking, or peeling.
Installation
Installing the 10ft aluminum fence post is straightforward, making it a top choice for both contractors and DIY homeowners.
Posts should be set at least 3ft deep in concrete footings for maximum load-bearing capacity.
Compatible with a wide range of systems, including composite fence panels, aluminum slat fencing, decorative inserts, and custom gates.
For standard residential projects, we recommend 6–8ft spacing between posts, but commercial or heavy-gate applications may require tighter spacing.
Lightweight yet strong, the aluminum design makes handling and alignment easier than traditional steel or wood posts.
With proper installation, this post will provide 30–40 years of dependable performance without the need for ongoing maintenance.
FAQs
Why choose a .125 wall aluminum post over standard posts?
The .125 wall thickness provides superior strength and wind resistance compared to standard thinner posts. This makes it ideal for privacy fences, security perimeters, and heavy gates that require maximum support.
Can I install a 10ft aluminum post myself, or do I need a contractor?
Yes, these posts are DIY-friendly and can be installed with basic tools. However, for large-scale projects or gate installations, hiring a contractor ensures proper footing depth and alignment.
How long does a 10ft aluminum post last compared to wood or steel?
Aluminum posts last decades longer than wood (which rots and warps) and steel (which rusts). With a powder-coated finish, this post can last 30–40 years with minimal upkeep.
Is this post strong enough for a driveway or entry gate?
Yes. The 6×6 x 10ft post with .125 walls is strong enough to support swing and sliding gates. For oversized or commercial gates, the 12ft version may be a better choice.
Can these posts handle coastal climates with salt air?
Absolutely. The powder-coated aluminum is corrosion-resistant and UV-protected, making it perfect for beachfront properties in Los Angeles, Miami, San Diego, and other coastal areas.
Do you offer bulk pricing for contractors or developers?
Yes. We provide discounts on bulk orders for contractors, developers, and commercial projects. Nationwide shipping is also available.
