Description

Product Description

2″ Square Post · 6 ft · Custom Color

A compact 2×2 support post that can actually match the project.

The 2×2 in. Square Post 6 ft – Custom Color + Cap combines a true 2-inch square aluminum profile with a 6-foot supplied length, 6063-T6 construction and a custom-color flat press cap option. It is designed for projects where a compact support profile is appropriate and the finish needs to coordinate with the fence, gate or surrounding architecture.

Why this profile is different

2×2 keeps the support line minimal.

Larger posts create more visual mass and more structural capacity. A true 2-inch square profile is useful when the fence or compatible gate design is engineered around a compact support and the post should not dominate the finished elevation.

Compact cross sectionThe 2″ × 2″ footprint keeps vertical supports slimmer than 2.5″, 2.75″, 3″ and larger post families.
6063-T6 aluminumThe exact grouped product identifies 6063-T6, an architectural extrusion alloy used throughout the Aluglobus aluminum-system catalog.
Do not undersize for appearanceThe post should only be used where the fence height, panel area, gate load and mounting condition are compatible with this profile.

Custom color planning

The best post color is the one that makes the whole exterior feel intentional.

Aluglobus offers custom RAL and architectural color directions across its fence systems. Use that flexibility to coordinate the post with the fence panels, gate frame, cladding, window frames, garage doors, exterior trim or landscape palette.

White & beigeLight finishes soften the fence line and work well with coastal, Mediterranean, minimalist and bright stucco architecture.
Grey & anthraciteModern neutral finishes create depth while feeling less visually heavy than solid black.
Bronze & brownWarmer tones pair naturally with stone, wood-look aluminum, brick and earthy exterior materials.
Specialty finishesTextured, hammer, super-durable, metallic and pearlescent finish families can add surface character beyond a basic solid color.

Screen swatches are design references only. Final powder code, gloss, texture and performance specification should be confirmed before production because screens cannot reproduce a physical coating exactly.

Grouped product

Choose the 6 ft post and matching custom-color flat press cap from one page.

The live grouped SKU contains separate quantity selectors for the custom-color 2×2 post and the custom-color 2-inch flat press cap. Order the quantities required by the actual fence or gate layout.

Grouped option

2×2 in. Square Post · 6 ft · Custom Color

6063-T6 aluminum support profile for compatible fence, gate and exterior applications where a 2-inch square post is specified.

Grouped option

2″ Flat Press Cap · Custom Color

A low-profile finishing cap for the open top of the 2×2 post. Coordinate the cap finish with the post so the top detail does not interrupt the project color.

Ordering clarity: post and cap are separate grouped quantities. Count the support posts the project requires, then count the exposed post tops that need caps. Do not assume every structural condition uses the same 2×2 post.
Choose grouped quantities
Six feet means stock length, not finished fence height

Plan the mounting method before choosing a 6 ft post.

If a post is embedded below grade, that portion is no longer available above grade. Surface-mounted, wall-mounted and base-mounted conditions use the same 6-foot extrusion very differently.

01

Surface-mounted conditions

When an approved base or structure carries the post, more of the six-foot extrusion can remain visible above the mounting surface.

02

Lower fence heights

In-ground installations may use part of the profile below grade, so the finished fence height must be calculated from the remaining post length.

03

Wall & hardscape projects

Shorter stock can work efficiently where the fence begins from a wall, curb, deck or engineered hardscape rather than open soil.

04

Material efficiency

When six feet is enough for the approved mounting and final height, the shorter extrusion reduces unnecessary cut-off material compared with longer stock.

Do not use a generic footing rule: embedment and mounting depend on panel area, fence height, wind exposure, soil, gate loads and local structural requirements.
Technical specifications

Verified product facts, with project-dependent values left project-dependent.

The live grouped SKU confirms the 6-foot custom-color post, 6063-T6 aluminum and custom-color flat press cap. The page does not publish a wall thickness for this exact SKU, so no wall thickness is invented here.

Specification note: if the project requires certified wall thickness, load capacity, wind calculations or a specific coating performance level, confirm those values before approval or installation.

The premium part is not the color name. It is controlling the finish before installation.

Aluglobus positions its broader fence program around custom RAL colors, 7-stage preparation and architectural powder coating. The exact finish specification should still be confirmed for the selected custom color on this SKU.

Applications

Where a custom-color 2×2 6 ft post can make sense.

Use the compact profile only where the system allows it. The custom finish matters most when the support remains visible and contributes to the exterior design.

Residential

Light architectural fence runs

Coordinate compact support posts with custom-color aluminum fence panels where the selected system is designed around a 2-inch square profile.

Hardscape

Wall & deck conditions

A six-foot custom-color post can be efficient in approved surface-mount and wall-mounted layouts that do not require deep below-grade embedment.

Pool / patio

Coordinated enclosures

Use within a complete code-compliant barrier design where the post size, spacing, height and mounting method satisfy the project requirements.

Gate system

Compatible DIY gate support

Aluglobus lists the custom-color 6 ft 2×2 post as an optional post on its DIY 4×6 gate-frame system. Verify actual hinge loading before installation.

Commercial

Light-duty screens

Specify the compact profile for compatible partitions and perimeter sections where engineering does not require a larger HD post family.

Design-led

Color-matched vertical supports

Match the post to windows, garage doors, cladding, gate frames or trim so the vertical support belongs to the overall project palette.

Choose the profile by load and length

Custom color does not turn a compact 2×2 post into a heavy-duty post.

The finish changes appearance. Structural suitability still comes from the exact profile, wall thickness, length, mounting and loads. Move up in the post family when the project requires it.

6 ft · 2×2 custom colorBest considered where the compatible system, mounting method and final height fit the compact 6-foot profile.
8 ft · 2×2 HD familyAluglobus separately lists an 8-foot 2×2 HD post when more length and a published heavy-duty wall specification are needed.
Larger HD familiesTall privacy fences, large gate loads, demanding wind exposure and larger panel areas may require 2.5″, 2.75″, 3″ or other structural post systems.

Market context

The 2×2 outside dimension is common. What separates post classes is everything around it.

Premium aluminum-fence manufacturers offer 2-inch square posts in different structural classes and custom colors. That means buyers should compare wall construction, length, coating, mounting and system compatibility, not just the outside dimension.

01

Outside dimension

2×2 is a common residential aluminum-fence post footprint, but identical outside dimensions can hide very different wall thicknesses.

02

Color program

Premium manufacturers offer custom specified hues because fence color is increasingly part of the architectural package.

03

Factory coating

Powder-coated aluminum avoids relying on field-applied paint to create the primary finished surface.

04

Accessory coordination

Matching caps and system components keep the post finish continuous instead of ending with an unrelated stock accessory.

Installation planning

Protect the custom finish and verify the structure before the post is cut.

Six-foot stock leaves less margin for field changes than longer posts. Finalize mounting, elevation and finish before installation begins.

Before installation: confirm the post role, fence or gate system, finished height, grade, mounting surface, footing or base design, custom powder code and local structural requirements.

Confirm 2×2 is the correct profile

Check the exact Aluglobus fence or gate system before using this post. Do not select a compact support only because it has the preferred appearance.

Approve the custom color

Confirm powder code, texture and gloss before production. Protect finished material from scratching during storage, cutting and assembly.

Determine the mounting method

Decide whether the project uses an approved surface mount, wall condition, structural base or in-ground footing before calculating the usable above-grade length.

Establish final elevations

Use a laser, level or string line to determine the finished top line before cutting a 6-foot post.

Set or mount the post plumb

Check vertical alignment in both directions and sight the complete run before structural fasteners or concrete are finalized.

Install the compatible system and cap

Attach the specified fence or gate components, verify alignment, then install the matching custom-color flat press cap on the clean post top.

Verified DIY gate context

This 6 ft custom-color 2×2 post appears in Aluglobus gate options, but that does not make it universal.

Aluglobus lists the exact 6-foot custom-color 2×2 square post among the optional posts on its DIY 4×6 gate-frame kit. That verifies a compatible use case while still requiring the installer to check hinge loads, mounting and the actual gate design.

Compatible system contextThe DIY 4×6 frame offers both the 6 ft black and 6 ft custom-color 2×2 posts as optional post selections.
Gate loads differ from fence loadsA swinging leaf introduces hinge forces, leverage and dynamic movement that a stationary fence panel does not.
Upgrade when requiredLarger, automated, tall or wind-exposed gates can require HD 2×2, 3″ or other project-specific supports and foundations.
Concept only · confirm support requirements for the actual gate
Before ordering quantities

Resolve the support profile and finish once, before the material list multiplies.

Custom color makes consistency more important because a late post substitution can also become a finish mismatch.

01

Post role

Identify whether the support is for a fence line, end condition, screen, gate or specialty connection.

02

Finished height

Verify the 6-foot stock leaves enough usable length after the approved mounting or embedment condition.

03

Wall thickness need

If engineering requires a published HD wall thickness, use a post family that publishes the required structural specification.

04

Color code

Approve one powder code, gloss and texture direction before the post and matching cap are produced.

05

Panel area

Consider the wind-catching area supported by the post, especially for full-privacy or tall fence systems.

06

Gate loading

For gate use, verify leaf width, weight, hinges, wind area and any operator forces before selecting the support.

07

Cap quantity

Count the visible 2-inch post tops that need the custom-color flat press cap.

08

Upgrade path

Move to longer or larger HD posts before installation if the project needs more length, wall thickness or structural capacity.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before ordering the 2×2 in. Square Post 6 ft – Custom Color + Cap.

The product is simple. The specification still needs to match the actual fence or gate condition.

What size is this post?
It is a true 2-inch by 2-inch square aluminum post supplied in a 6-foot length.
What aluminum alloy does this post use?
The exact grouped product page identifies the post as 6063-T6 aluminum.
What cap is grouped with this post?
The grouped product offers a 2-inch Flat Press Cap in custom color as the matching cap option. The post and cap use separate quantity selectors.
Can the post and cap be ordered in custom colors?
Yes. The grouped product is specifically the custom-color version of the 6-foot 2×2 post and custom-color flat press cap. Confirm the exact powder code, texture and gloss before production.
Does this exact SKU publish a wall thickness?
No wall thickness is published on the current public grouped SKU. If wall thickness or structural certification is required, confirm it with Aluglobus or select a post family with the required published HD specification.
Is the finished fence height automatically 6 feet?
No. Six feet is the supplied post length. Surface mounting, wall mounting and in-ground embedment consume or preserve the available length differently, so final fence height depends on the installation design.
Can I use this post for a gate?
Aluglobus lists the 6-foot custom-color 2×2 post as an optional post on its DIY 4×6 gate-frame product. That is a verified compatible context, but larger, automated, tall or high-wind gates may require heavier posts or engineering.
Is a 2×2 post suitable for a full-privacy fence?
That depends on the post wall thickness, panel area, height, spacing, wind exposure and mounting design. Full-privacy panels create higher wind loads than open fencing, so confirm the system requirements before using a compact post.
What custom finish options does Aluglobus offer?
Aluglobus advertises custom RAL colors plus matte, satin, textured, gloss and specialty powder-coat directions across its aluminum fence systems. The exact available powder should be confirmed for the project before production.
When should I use an 8 ft HD or larger post instead?
Move to a longer or larger HD post when the project requires more embedment, more finished height, a published heavy-duty wall thickness, larger panel area, greater wind resistance or higher gate-support capacity.
