Your infill, our frame

Buying a gate with a fixed slat style is limiting if you want it to match an existing fence or a particular look. The DIY Gate Frame Kit Only 4' x 6' leaves that choice open. It is light enough to handle during assembly, aluminum does not form iron oxide rust, and the powder coat protects the surface from weather and wear.

What comes in the box

• Two aluminum uprights
• Top and bottom frame sections that close the 4x6 perimeter
• Side post (L) with a T-shaped stopper
• Double-support hinges, heavy duty, one set

Panels, slats and latch hardware are not part of the kit.

Good uses

• Backyard and side yard walk gates
• Custom builds where you pick the material
• Gates that need to echo an adjoining fence
• Small light commercial openings

Building it

Start by measuring the opening, checking the grade and noting what each side will mount to. Pick infill that the frame can carry in weight and thickness, with a fastening method that works. Join the uprights to the top and bottom sections on a flat surface and check that the frame is square, fit the infill, then mount the hinges, side post and stopper to suit the opening and the direction of swing. Finish by checking the swing and latch alignment.
