Every part has one job: keep the horizontal line clean, consistent and easy to repeat.
The ALU40 system is organized around slat alignment, repeatable spacing, line-post continuity, exterior finish and an installer-friendly assembly sequence.
2-way line-post layout
The 2-way post is designed for panels connecting on opposite sides, making it the correct post direction for continuous straight fence runs.
1/2-inch spacer system
Thirty cover-post spacers help repeat the same semi-privacy gap across the panel instead of relying on visual guesswork.
Sixteen 4-inch slats
ALU40 uses wider horizontal extrusions for a stronger architectural rhythm and fewer visual interruptions across the 6 ft panel.
Matte-black powder coating
The black aluminum system is designed for UV, moisture and corrosion exposure with a low-maintenance architectural finish.
Core assembly parts included
Slats, spacers, post, cap set, bottom spacers, L-brackets and standard assembly fasteners are organized around one 6×6 section.
Non-combustible aluminum
Aluminum does not ignite like wood or vinyl, making it a strong material direction for modern exterior and wildfire-conscious projects.

6063-T6 aluminum gives the fence a different maintenance and fire profile than wood.
The ALU40 slats use architectural-grade 6063-T6 aluminum with super-durable exterior powder coating. The material resists iron-oxide rust and does not require staining or sealing, while the non-combustible aluminum substrate does not ignite like combustible fence materials.
Architectural powder coatingAAMA 2604 architectural powder-coat performance supports exterior weather and UV exposure. Coastal & humid environmentsAluminum and powder coating make the system a strong material direction where moisture and salt exposure are design concerns. Non-combustible aluminumThe material is listed as non-combustible and does not ignite under normal fire conditions. Complete project fire compliance depends on the full assembly and applicable code. Thermal referenceAluminum melting range is listed at approximately 615–655 °C. Fire submittals should use the test standard and assembly information required for the project. Matte Black · UV-stable · corrosion resistant · low maintenanceA modern line-post fence kit for residential, coastal and light-commercial layouts.
The 2-way post makes this configuration especially useful for repeating straight runs. Corners, ends, gates and unusual grade conditions may require different posts or project-specific details.
Backyard privacy fencing
The 4-inch slats and 1/2-inch gaps create a strong semi-private boundary with a modern horizontal appearance.
Entryways & outdoor rooms
Use the consistent horizontal rhythm to define patios, courtyards and controlled outdoor spaces.
Pool-area fence layouts
The aluminum system can be used around pool areas when the complete barrier height, openings, gates and hardware meet local pool requirements.
Humid & salt-exposed properties
Aluminum avoids iron-oxide rust and is well suited to projects where moisture resistance is important.
Light-commercial boundaries
A clean architectural option for offices, multifamily common areas and other low-rise perimeter applications.
Non-combustible material selection
Aluminum can support non-combustible exterior-material strategies, subject to the complete project design and local requirements.

Solve the line, footing and post elevation before stacking the slats.
The system is DIY-friendly for installers with intermediate skills, but a clean horizontal fence depends on accurate layout. Set the 2-way post correctly first, then use the spacer system to build the panel with consistent gaps.
Planning priority: confirm straight-run post positions, finished fence height, grade, concrete support and any carrier-specific post-length configuration before cutting or assembly.Lay out the straight run
Mark the fence line and identify where 2-way line posts, corners, ends and gates occur.
Verify footing conditions
Size the footing for soil, frost, wind exposure, fence height and local requirements rather than copying one depth to every property.
Set the 2-way post plumb
Check both directions and establish the correct finished elevation before the concrete cures.
Establish the bottom condition
Use the bottom spacers and a level reference so the first slat begins consistently across the run.
Stack ALU40 slats and spacers
Alternate the 4-inch slats with the supplied 1/2-inch spacing system while checking level and alignment.
Install brackets and fasteners
Secure the assembly with the included L-brackets and standard fence fasteners.
Finish the post top
Install the press-cap set after the fence is aligned and final post work is complete.
Final alignment check
Confirm the top line, gap consistency, post plumb and all connections before the section is placed into service.

Choose the slat scale based on the architectural look, not only the panel dimensions.
Both systems can create modern horizontal aluminum fencing. ALU40 uses a broader 4-inch slat profile, giving the 6×6 panel a bolder visual rhythm with fewer horizontal lines.
| Decision | ALU20 direction | ALU40 6×6 2-Way Post Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Visual rhythm | Finer horizontal line pattern | Broader, bolder horizontal pattern |
| This kit’s slat width | Different ALU20 profile family | 4″ ALU40 slats |
| This kit’s gap | Depends on ALU20 SKU | 1/2″ semi-privacy |
| Post direction | Depends on selected kit | 2.75″ 2-way line post for straight runs |
| Best reason to choose | More frequent horizontal lines | Stronger architectural scale and a complete straight-run kit |
Know how the 2-way post, 1/2-inch gap and ALU40 slats work together before ordering.
The most important planning points are the straight-run post configuration, exact kit quantities, footing conditions and the distinction between supplied panel size and finished site installation.
What is included in the ALU40 fence kit?
The kit includes sixteen 4-inch × 6 ft ALU40 aluminum slats, thirty 1/2-inch spacers, one 2.75-inch 2-way aluminum post, one press-cap set, two bottom spacers, two L-brackets and standard fence assembly fasteners.What is a 2-way post used for?
A 2-way post is designed for straight fence runs, allowing fence sections to continue on opposite sides of the post. Corners, ends and gate conditions may require different post or connection details.How much privacy does the 1/2-inch gap provide?
The 4-inch slats with 1/2-inch openings create semi-privacy. They block most direct sight lines while still allowing airflow and filtered light through the fence.Is this fence suitable for DIY installation?
Yes. The system is organized for straightforward assembly, but intermediate DIY skills, accurate layout, standard tools and proper concrete or structural mounting are recommended.Does this fence require maintenance?
Maintenance is low. Periodically rinse or clean the powder-coated aluminum with mild soap and water, and inspect fasteners, post alignment and any site-specific connections.Can this fence withstand coastal or humid conditions?
Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust, and the exterior powder coating is designed for moisture and UV exposure. Routine cleaning is still important where salt or environmental residue accumulates.Is the aluminum fence non-combustible?
Yes. The aluminum material is non-combustible and does not ignite like wood or vinyl. Project fire compliance depends on the complete assembly, location and applicable code requirements.How long is the included 2-way post?
The standard post is listed at 8 ft. Some carrier shipments may use a 6 ft post with a steel sleeve where that shipping configuration applies, so confirm the delivered post arrangement before installation.What footing size should I use?
Approximately 10–12 inches in diameter by 24–36 inches deep is a planning starting range, but footing size is not universal. Verify soil, frost line, wind exposure, fence height and local structural requirements.Can this kit be used around a pool?
It can be part of a pool-area fence layout, but the complete barrier must meet local requirements for height, openings, climbability, gates, latches and other safety provisions.Build the straight run around a repeatable 4-inch slat and 1/2-inch gap.
