What the channel does

Slats need something to sit in. The C-Channel Kit 6 ft – Black captures the slat ends, keeps them aligned and adds stiffness to the panel, while giving it a clean finished edge. It suits shorter frames and sections.

Installation tips

Aluminum is light, so the channel is easy to handle and position compared with steel or wood. Fix it plumb (or level for vertical designs) before loading slats, and check that your slat profile seats properly in the channel. For longer runs, Globus Gates also offers 78 in., 8 ft and 18 ft channel kits, and optional channel cover spacers in several sizes.

FAQ

Can I run slats vertically?

Yes, it works either way.

How long will it last outside?

Installed properly, decades. The powder coat guards against UV, moisture and corrosion.

Why not steel or wood?

Aluminum will not rust, rot or warp and needs far less care.
