An aluminum gate post kit for wall installation
Many side-yard gates sit between the house and a boundary wall, where there is no room – or no need – to dig post holes. This aluminum gate post kit for wall installation covers that situation with two 2x2in posts, 6 ft long: a hinge post for the side the gate swings from, and an L-Side Post for the opposite side of the opening. In our price list it is the Hinge Post + L-Side Post (Wall to Wall Installation) option for DIY pedestrian gates.
Both posts are 6063-T6 aluminum with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating in black.
Kit inclusions
| Post cap | Post Cap with screws |
|---|---|
| Baseplate | Baseplate with 3/8" x 3" Anchor Bolt or 3/8 x 3" Hex Head Wood screw |
| Baseplate fixings | Baseplate Screws to Post |
| Strike hardware | Striker Plates with screws & Brackets |
The fixings are listed with either a 3/8" x 3" anchor bolt or a 3/8 x 3" hex head wood screw for the baseplate. If you are unsure which suits the surface you are fixing to, confirm with our team.
Which gates it works with
This kit is listed as a post option for our boxed DIY pedestrian gate kits and DIY gate frame kits, for example the ALU 40 4×6 DIY pedestrian gate kit and the ALU 60 T&G 4×6 privacy gate kit. Buying both posts together keeps the finish and fixings matched on each side of the gate.
Why buy the pair as a kit
Ordering the hinge post and L-Side Post together means both sides arrive in the same finish and length, with a full set of caps, baseplates and striker hardware for each. It is also the option the price list names first for wall-to-wall gates, so it lines up with the way our DIY pedestrian gate kits are planned. Aluminum posts will not rot at the base like timber posts fixed to a wall, and the powder-coated finish only needs occasional cleaning.
Before you order
- Confirm both sides of the opening are solid walls suitable for fixing.
- Measure the opening against the gate kit size you plan to use.
- Check that 6 ft posts suit your gate height.
- Follow the included instructions and local code.
If you only need one side, the 2x2in x 6ft L-Side Post and 2x2in hinge posts are sold separately. See all aluminum gates for matching kits.
Material & finish
What it is made of
2x2in Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit 6 ft is made from aluminum 6063-t6, finished with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating – Black.
6063-T6 is an architectural aluminum alloy made for extruded profiles. It gives clean, consistent shapes and takes a powder coating evenly, which is why it is widely used for fences, gates and other exterior building products.
AAMA 2604 is the American Architectural Manufacturers Association specification for high-performance organic coatings, powder coatings included, on aluminum extrusions. It sets test requirements for outdoor color and gloss retention, chalking and corrosion resistance.
