Durability & Quality – Built to Last

Every ALUVinyl Horizontal Double Swing DIY Gate 12×6 is constructed with 6063-T6 architectural-grade aluminum—a material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.

The vinyl infill is equally impressive. Unlike wood, it won’t absorb moisture, crack, or peel. Unlike steel, it won’t rust or require costly refinishing. Together, these materials create a product that delivers decades of reliable performance with almost zero maintenance.

This combination ensures that your investment is not just about style—it’s about long-term peace of mind.
