Engineered for Strength & Durability
From 6063-T6 aluminum to AAMA-2604 powder coating, rust-free, weather-ready
The Profile50 T&G Woodgrain 12′ × 6′ HD USA Aluminum Sliding Gate Kit is a precision-engineered sliding gate solution designed for modern properties that require controlled access, architectural privacy, and long-term durability. Built from heavy-duty American aluminum and finished in a realistic teak woodgrain, this system delivers the visual warmth of wood with the structural reliability and low maintenance performance of aluminum.
Sized for mid-width driveways and access points, the 12-foot Profile50 sliding gate offers a balanced combination of strength, smooth operation, and refined design suitable for both residential and light commercial applications.
Heavy-Duty Frame and Structural Integrity
The gate system is built around a 4-inch heavy-duty aluminum frame, manufactured from high-quality USA aluminum to ensure rigidity and dimensional stability. The extended 20-foot frame configuration provides proper support and balance for smooth sliding motion, reducing stress on hardware and maintaining alignment over time.
Inner corner brackets and connectors reinforce the frame assembly, helping prevent twisting or sagging during regular use and under varying weather conditions.
Tongue & Groove Woodgrain Panel System
The infill is constructed using ALU50 tongue-and-groove aluminum slats in a 6.3 teak woodgrain finish, forming a solid, gap-free surface. This interlocking panel design enhances privacy while delivering a clean, modern appearance that closely resembles natural hardwood.
The powder-coated woodgrain finish is engineered for outdoor exposure, offering excellent resistance to fading, moisture, and UV damage without the maintenance demands of real wood.
Smooth and Controlled Sliding Operation
Designed as a true sliding gate, the Profile50 system operates laterally along a heavy-duty track, making it ideal for properties where swing clearance is limited. The included pair of 2-1/2″ C-wheels, combined with a 6″ guide roller, C-truck, gate catcher, and stopper, ensures consistent tracking, controlled movement, and secure positioning in both open and closed states.
This configuration provides reliable daily performance for driveways, private entrances, and perimeter access points.
Complete Gate Kit Components
The sliding gate kit includes all essential structural, mechanical, and fastening components required for assembly. The package features a heavy-duty aluminum frame, channel kit, aluminum caps, teak ALU50 T&G slats, and a full hardware set including screws, bolts, washers, and nuts. Each component is designed to integrate seamlessly, resulting in a clean, professional finished gate.
Post Compatibility and Installation Options
To accommodate different site conditions and structural requirements, the Profile50 sliding gate system is compatible with 3″, 4″, and 6″ aluminum post options. This flexibility allows installers to select the appropriate post size based on gate length, wind exposure, and usage demands.
The modular design supports professional installation and advanced DIY projects, offering adjustability for proper alignment and long-term performance.
Low-Maintenance Aluminum Performance
Aluminum construction ensures the gate will not rust, rot, or warp over time. The Profile50 sliding gate requires minimal upkeep beyond routine cleaning and occasional inspection of moving components. Its woodgrain finish maintains its appearance year after year, preserving both functionality and curb appeal.
Ideal Applications
This 12′ × 6′ sliding gate system is well suited for residential driveways, side-yard access, modern home entrances, and light commercial properties seeking a durable and visually refined access solution. The solid tongue-and-groove design integrates seamlessly with contemporary aluminum fencing and perimeter systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ALU40 4′ × 6′ HD Pad Gate made from?
Is the Profile50 12′ × 6′ sliding gate difficult to install?
The system is designed for professional installers and experienced DIY users. All structural components are precision-engineered for modular assembly. Proper post installation, track alignment, and level ground preparation are essential for smooth sliding performance.
Does the woodgrain finish fade or peel over time?
No. The teak woodgrain is a powder-coated finish applied to architectural 6063-T6 aluminum. It is UV-resistant, moisture-resistant, and designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions without fading, peeling, or cracking.
Will the aluminum frame rust?
No. Aluminum does not rust like steel or iron. The heavy-duty USA aluminum frame is corrosion-resistant and ideal for coastal, humid, and high-rain environments.
Can this sliding gate be automated?
Yes. The reinforced frame is compatible with most standard sliding gate automation systems designed for aluminum gates. Automation hardware and motors are sold separately.
