The look of a timber privacy gate without the upkeep: a 6x6 wood look aluminum gate kit with 11 ALU 60 T&G 6ft wood-look slats, a black DIY 6' x 6' frame kit, 8 black 7/8 plugs and an additional HD hinge.
A 6x6 wood look aluminum gate kit for warm, modern entrances
Timber gates look great for a season or two, then start to grey, twist and need sanding and staining. This 6×6 wood look aluminum gate kit keeps the warm wood appearance but builds it from aluminum. It pairs a black DIY gate frame with ALU 60 tongue-and-groove slats in a wood-look finish, so the finished single-swing gate has a solid, no-gap face with the character of wood boards.
The black frame gives a crisp outline around the wood-look infill – a combination that suits modern homes, courtyards and side-yard entrances. Components are 6063-T6 aluminum with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating.

Tongue and groove slats with a wood-look finish
ALU 60 T&G is a 6-inch slat that interlocks along its edges, so there is no gap between boards and no line of sight through the gate. The wood-look finish is applied to aluminum, not timber, which means:
- No rot, splitting or insect damage
- No annual staining or sealing
- Consistent colour from slat to slat
- A light gate leaf compared with solid hardwood
Unlike the boxed gate kits, the slats here are supplied as 6ft lengths. Follow the included instructions when fitting them to the frame, and ask our team if you have questions about sizing.
Choosing posts for the wood-look gate
Posts are sold separately so you can match the mounting to your site. The price list offers:
- Hinge Post + L-Side Post – wall-to-wall installation
- 3.15 Post – wall and concrete footing
- 2-way post – wall mount only
- 3in HD Post – concrete footing
- 4in HD Post – standalone post
Between two walls, the 2x2in Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit is built for wall-to-wall installation. For in-ground posts, the 3×3 in. HD square post is listed for concrete footing and the 4in HD post as a standalone option. A 6 ft solid gate is a larger leaf, so confirm the post choice with our team if you are unsure.
Plan your wood-look entrance
Measure the finished opening and allow for the posts before comparing against the 6 ft x 6 ft kit. Check your local code for gate requirements, and install following the included instructions. If you prefer a solid colour in the same profile, compare the Alu 60 T&G 6×6 gate kit, or browse all aluminum gates.

Why aluminum instead of a wood gate
A wood-look aluminum gate gives you the appearance homeowners want at the entrance while removing the maintenance that usually comes with it. Once installed, occasional cleaning is all the powder-coated finish needs, and the aluminum will not rust the way steel hardware and frames can.
It is also a practical choice when the gate sits next to other wood-look elements such as cladding, a pergola or a wood-look fence: the aluminum slats hold a consistent tone over time instead of weathering unevenly the way neighbouring timber boards can. The black frame, plugs and hinges tie the gate to black posts and hardware elsewhere on the property.
This kit is listed with a black frame and wood-look slats; no other colour combinations are listed for it. If you are matching an existing wood-look product, ask our team for a finish comparison before ordering.
Material & finish
What it is made of
Alu 60 T&G Wood look 6×6 ft. DIY Pedestrian Gate Kit – Single Swing – No Gap is made from aluminum 6063-t6, finished with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating.
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.
