A tall starting point for a custom gate
Instead of welding a gate frame from raw stock, begin with precut members, pre-drilled hardware locations and bracing inside the corners. This 6' x 8' frame kit fits builders, designers and homeowners after a taller gate for side yards, walkways, gardens, pool areas or HOA and multifamily properties, then fill it with the profile that fits the project.
Kit contents
- Uprights, two
- Horizontal top and bottom sections
- Side post and T stopper for the receiving side
- Hinge hardware for the swing side
- Internal corner bracing
Infill and latch hardware are chosen separately.
Material and finish
The frame is 6063-T6 structural aluminum finished in powder coat that meets AAMA 2604. Because aluminum cannot rot, swell or form iron oxide rust, which makes it practical in coastal, humid or hot climates. Routine care is cleaning, checking hardware and keeping the gate aligned.
Choosing infill
The frame takes 3/4 in. or 1 in. profiles, so it can pair with Profile 40, Profile 60 or T&G slats and coordinate with cladding or posts elsewhere on the property. Confirm the infill's weight and fastening method suit the frame before assembly.
