Low Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
Maintenance is one of the biggest advantages of choosing the ALU40 Universal DIY 6×6 Gate Kit Black Pad Gate.

Cleaning the gate is simple. A quick rinse to remove dust or pollen is typically all that is required. Homeowners looking for a gate that stays sharp, strong, and visually clean with minimal upkeep will find that this model meets their needs perfectly.
Because the gate is built using high-tensile aluminum components, it remains stable and aligned even in high-traffic areas or climates with frequent temperature shifts.
Boosting Curb Appeal With Modern Design
A gate is often one of the first architectural elements people see when approaching a home. The ALU40 Universal DIY 6×6 Gate Kit Black Pad Gate brings a crisp, modern appearance to any entry point, enhancing curb appeal and making your exterior look more sophisticated and well-maintained.
The minimalist black design pairs beautifully with contemporary homes, desert landscapes, neutral tones, and clean-lined properties. It can also soften bold exterior colors by creating a visual anchor point that draws the eye. When paired with matching aluminum fencing, it produces a cohesive perimeter system that increases property value and aesthetic appeal.

Security is a leading reason homeowners choose aluminum gate systems. The ALU40 Universal DIY 6×6 Gate Kit Black Pad Gate provides stability and privacy while ensuring dependable protection for walkways, yards, and side entrances. Its HD-quality components maintain their strength long-term, making it ideal for families, homeowners with pets, and anyone seeking controlled access to their property.

Even in high-use environments, the gate remains aligned, smooth to operate, and visually appealing. Whether positioned between fence panels, along a side wall, or near a landscaped garden, its presence enhances the space without overwhelming it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation, ensure all components of the Profile40 Universal DIY 6′ x 6′ Gate Kit BLACK are present and undamaged. Lay out the gate frame sections, Profile20 slats, hardware, hinges, and accessories on a clean, flat surface to prevent scratching or misplacement.
Confirm the gate opening width and height, ensuring posts are securely installed, plumb, and properly spaced to support a 12 ft double swing configuration. Verify that ground conditions allow full swing clearance and that local building codes and setback requirements are met before installation.
Prepare the required tools, including a level, tape measure, drill, socket set, and safety equipment, to ensure accurate alignment, smooth hinge operation, and a professional-grade installation.
Assemble the top, bottom, and side frame components on a flat surface. Ensure all corners are square before fastening.
Secure frame pieces using the supplied hardware, tightening fasteners evenly to maintain proper alignment. Double-check measurements and squareness before fully tightening all connections.
Once assembled, verify the frame is rigid and level before proceeding to slat installation.
Insert ALU20 aluminum slats horizontally into the frame channels, starting from the bottom and working upward.
Maintain the pre-designed between each slat to ensure consistent spacing and a clean, uniform appearance. Ensure slats are fully seated and aligned before installing the next piece.
Continue until all slats are installed, then confirm the panel remains square and level.
Position hinges on the frame according to the recommended mounting locations. Attach hinges securely using the provided hardware.
Ensure proper alignment to allow smooth movement and even weight distribution. Test the panel’s swing to confirm unobstructed operation and adjust hinge placement if necessary.
