This premium aluminum sliding gate is designed to support plexiglass or acrylic infill of your choice, allowing complete creative control over the final look. Delivering exceptional strength and smooth operation, the ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) is ideal for large driveway entrances, architectural commercial projects, and high-end residential properties.
Built with a contractor-grade aluminum structure, this gate frame provides exceptional rigidity and weather resistance. It offers a sleek and contemporary aesthetic that can be customized with clear, frosted, tinted, smoked, or patterned plexiglass panels—making it one of the most flexible sliding gate solutions available.
Engineered for Strength, Stability & Long-Term Durability
With a strong aluminum frame specifically constructed for an 18-ft-wide sliding system, the ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) ensures smooth, reliable performance even under daily high-traffic use. Aluminum delivers superior benefits over wood or steel alternatives: it doesn’t rust, warp, absorb moisture, or require heavy maintenance.
Because this sliding gate is engineered to accept plexiglass panels (not included), the internal channels offer a tight, supportive structure that prevents vibration, rattling, and instability. Once plexiglass is added, the gate maintains a rigid configuration suitable for automated gate openers and long-term exposure to outdoor conditions.
The lightweight nature of aluminum makes operation easier, reducing stress on rollers, track systems, and motors. Whether used in residential driveways or commercial entrances, the ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) is built for decades of strong performance.
Ready for Plexiglass Customization
One of the most appealing features of this gate system is its open-frame design that accommodates many plexiglass types. Plexiglass (acrylic panels) can dramatically change the appearance and privacy level of the gate. Because the ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) does not include plexiglass, users can tailor the infill to match architectural styles and privacy requirements.
Available customization options include:
fully transparent plexiglass for a gallery-style modern look
smoked or tinted plexiglass for subtle privacy
frosted plexiglass for full daytime privacy
decorative patterned acrylic for a unique architectural effect
The ability to choose your own plexiglass insert allows this sliding gate system to serve luxury residences, modern office buildings, boutique commercial spaces, and custom architectural designs.
Smooth Sliding Performance for Large Entrances
Sliding gates require precise construction to ensure smooth movement and long-term functionality. The ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) excels in both design and usability. Its lightweight aluminum frame reduces friction and minimizes the load placed on the gate motor or manual sliding hardware.
Contractors appreciate how the gate maintains perfect alignment along the track, preventing premature wear and noisy operation. The balanced structure and reinforced perimeter provide a stable and secure sliding performance that withstands repeated daily use.
Perfect for Residential, Commercial & Architectural Projects
Thanks to its large size, customizable infill system, and modern design appeal, the ALU Plexiglass HD Contractor Line 18×6 Sliding Gate (No Plexiglass) is an excellent solution for:
luxury residential driveways
commercial parking entrances
storefront or office building access points
