Engineered from high-grade aluminum with a .0120 wall thickness and protected by a sleek black powder coating, the HD 3″ x 3″ x 12FT .0120 Walls Black post is one of the most reliable and visually appealing support components in the GlobusGates lineup.
Extra height introduces new challenges to fencing and gate installations. Wind load, weight distribution, and long-term environmental exposure all demand a post capable of maintaining rigidity and strength. This heavy-duty aluminum post is specifically designed to meet those demands while offering a clean, contemporary look that enhances curb appeal.
Engineered for Stability in Tall Fencing & Gate Applications
The considerable height of the HD 3″ x 3″ x 12FT .0120 Walls Black post makes it ideal for structures that exceed standard fencing dimensions. Taller installations require stronger support systems to prevent leaning, warping, and vibration over time. Aluminum’s exceptional rigidity—combined with the carefully calibrated .0120 wall thickness—ensures that this post performs reliably even in high-wind or high-traffic environments.
Builders frequently select this profile for projects such as:
tall privacy fences
commercial security barriers
oversized landscape gates
elevated architectural frames
high-end residential systems
modern perimeter enclosures
rooftop or multi-level fencing systems
industrial-grade access gates
reinforced structural frameworks
contemporary property dividers
The post’s 12-foot height provides ample length for deep anchoring while still offering full above-ground structural support.
Durable, Rust-Proof, and Built to Withstand Harsh Weather Conditions
The HD 3″ x 3″ x 12FT .0120 Walls Black aluminum post is engineered to resist corrosion, moisture, and UV exposure. Unlike steel posts that may rust or wood posts that can crack, rot, or attract insects, aluminum maintains its structural integrity over the years with minimal upkeep.
The black powder-coated finish adds an extra protective barrier against fading, chipping, and weather-related wear. This makes the post an exceptional choice for properties in coastal areas, humid climates, or regions experiencing seasonal temperature extremes. The durable coating ensures that the post’s refined matte-black finish remains attractive and uniform long after installation.
Modern Aesthetics for High-End Residential & Commercial Properties
Contemporary outdoor design relies heavily on clean lines, bold tones, and sleek architectural features. The HD 3″ x 3″ x 12FT .0120 Walls Black post delivers all of these elements. Its refined black surface pairs seamlessly with aluminum slats, composite panels, metal accents, and modern gate frames. The taller profile also enhances the visual impact of large structures, making them feel more cohesive and professionally designed.
This makes the post particularly well-suited for properties seeking a premium look—such as luxury homes, boutique commercial spaces, multi-unit residences, and stylish perimeter fencing systems. Its minimalist profile provides a polished backdrop for a wide variety of materials and design styles.

Thanks to its aluminum construction, the HD 3″ x 3″ x 12FT .0120 Walls Black post offers superior maneuverability compared to steel or solid wood alternatives. Even with its extended height, the post remains easy to transport, position, and install. Contractors appreciate the reduced labor time and enhanced efficiency, while DIY homeowners enjoy a product that’s easier to handle without sacrificing structural strength.
Despite its lightweight feel, the .0120 wall thickness ensures solid load-bearing performance. This structural balance is ideal for tall panels, gates with frequent movement, or installations that require precise alignment and secure anchoring.
