The ALU40 panel kit for projects that already have their post strategy.
The ALU40 6×6 C Channel No Post Fence Panel Kit combines sixteen 4-inch horizontal aluminum slats, consistent 1/2-inch semi-privacy spacing and a matte-black architectural finish in a panel-focused package. Posts are intentionally not included, giving contractors, builders and advanced DIY installers flexibility to pair the fence panel with the support condition required by the project.

Keep the ALU40 fence panel. Choose the support system separately.
This configuration is built for buyers who do not need a bundled line post. The C Channel / No Post format keeps the 6×6 ALU40 panel package separate from the site-specific post decision, which is useful for projects using existing posts, alternate post sizes, wall-mounted conditions, custom structural layouts or a larger multi-panel takeoff.
Support choice stays flexible
Select the compatible post, wall connection or structural support required by the actual fence layout instead of paying for a post that may not fit the project.
1/2-inch semi-privacy
The panel keeps a consistent horizontal opening that blocks most direct sight lines while allowing airflow and filtered light.
Sixteen 4-inch slats
The broader ALU40 extrusion creates a strong architectural rhythm with fewer horizontal lines than smaller slat systems.
Clean panel interface
The C Channel version is intended to integrate the panel into the separately selected support condition while maintaining a clean finished edge.
Matte-black powder coating
The architectural coating is designed for UV, weather and moisture exposure without a wood-style painting or staining cycle.
Non-combustible aluminum
The aluminum substrate does not ignite like wood or vinyl, supporting non-combustible exterior-material strategies where appropriate.
See the ALU40 profile, finish and installation context before choosing the support condition.
The gallery focuses on the horizontal slat system, powder-coated surface, panel assembly and broader aluminum fence context.
The wider ALU40 slat does most of the visual work. The gap keeps the panel from becoming a solid wall.
Four-inch horizontal slats create a substantial privacy screen, while the 1/2-inch opening maintains light, airflow and a lighter architectural feel. The result is a modern semi-private panel that works for residential, commercial and high-visibility exterior spaces.
4″ horizontal slatsThe broader extrusion gives the panel a strong modern scale and cleaner horizontal rhythm. 1/2″ repeatable gapThe semi-privacy opening creates a deliberate balance between screening and airflow. 6×6 panel formatThe panel is organized around a standard 6 ft wide by 6 ft tall architectural fence section. 1/2″ spacing ALU40 horizontal spacing conceptThe defining difference is simple: the ALU40 panel is supplied without a fence post.
Use this version when the project takeoff already accounts for support posts or when the fence requires a different post family than a standard bundled kit.
No post included: compatible fence posts, post caps, concrete or base hardware, anchors and site-specific structural connections must be selected separately for the actual installation. 01ALU40 aluminum slats

Fence posts are not part of this SKU. Select compatible posts separately based on line, corner, end, wall-mounted or other structural conditions.
Not included 05Post caps & foundations
Cap style, footing design, base plates, anchors and support hardware follow the separately selected post and site condition.
SeparateThe panel specification is fixed. The support specification remains project-specific.
ALU40 uses 6063-T6 architectural-grade extruded aluminum with a super-durable matte-black powder-coated finish. The panel measures 6 ft by 6 ft with 4-inch horizontal slats and 1/2-inch semi-privacy openings.
Support planning: because this SKU does not include posts, do not copy footing or shipping details from bundled-post ALU40 kits. Select the post and foundation from the actual fence height, layout, wind exposure, soil, grade and local requirements.- Product

Architectural aluminum changes the maintenance, corrosion and fire profile of the fence.
The panel uses 6063-T6 extruded aluminum with a super-durable matte-black powder coating. The material does not develop iron-oxide rust, requires no staining or sealing, and is non-combustible.
AAMA 2604 powder-coat directionThe ALU40 presentation identifies AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coat performance for exterior weather and UV exposure. Coastal & humid environmentsAluminum and exterior powder coating make the panel a strong material direction where moisture and salt exposure are design concerns. Non-combustible aluminumThe aluminum substrate does not ignite like wood or vinyl. Complete project fire compliance depends on the full assembly and applicable requirements. Thermal referenceThe material table lists an aluminum melting range of approximately 615–655 °C and smoke developed value of 0. Formal fire submittals should use the documentation required by the project. Matte Black · UV-stable · corrosion resistant · low maintenanceA panel-only ALU40 package works best when the support condition is already part of the project plan.
The no-post format is especially useful for contractor takeoffs, replacement sections, custom support layouts and projects that need a different post type than a standard straight-run kit.
Backyard privacy fencing
Use the 4-inch slat pattern and 1/2-inch gaps for a modern semi-private residential boundary.
Panel-only upgrades
Useful when suitable support posts are already in place and the project requires only the ALU40 panel package.
Alternate post conditions
Pair the panel with the post size, structural support or wall-mounted condition required by the approved project design.
Humid & salt-exposed properties
6063-T6 aluminum and exterior powder coating are suited to environments where corrosion resistance matters.
Light-commercial boundaries
A clean architectural panel for offices, multifamily common areas and other low-rise perimeter projects.
Pool-perimeter layouts
The panel can be considered around pool areas when the complete barrier, support posts, openings, gates and hardware satisfy local requirements.

Start with the support condition because this panel kit does not supply the posts.
The panel is DIY-friendly for installers with intermediate skills, but the no-post format requires the buyer to solve the support system first. Choose compatible posts or structural connections, set the finished elevation, then assemble the horizontal slats and 1/2-inch spacing system.
Installation sequence: do not use the post-shipping or fixed-footing notes from a bundled-post kit. The support, foundation and anchors belong to the separately selected post or wall condition.Map line, corner, end & gate conditions
Identify every support condition before selecting posts, bases, anchors or wall connections.
Select compatible supports
Choose the post family or mounting detail that matches the project’s height, layout and structural requirements.
Verify foundation or anchor design
Size footings, base plates or structural anchors from the actual site rather than from a bundled-post product.
Set the finished panel elevation
Establish a level reference line before building the horizontal slat stack.
Install the C Channel interface
Align the panel connection profile with the separately selected support condition and approved fastening method.
Stack the ALU40 slats
Build the 6×6 panel with the 4-inch horizontal extrusions and supplied 1/2-inch spacing system.
Check level & gap consistency
Verify the top line and horizontal openings as the panel is assembled.
Final connection check
Confirm the support, fasteners, panel alignment and all site-specific hardware before placing the fence into service.

Know exactly what “C Channel / No Post” changes before ordering the ALU40 panel.
The defining buying decision is whether the project already has a compatible support strategy. The slat system stays ALU40; the post package does not come with this SKU.
What material is the ALU40 fence made of?
The panel uses 6063-T6 architectural-grade extruded aluminum with a super-durable matte-black powder coating designed for exterior weather and UV exposure.Are posts included with this panel kit?
No. This is the C Channel / No Post version. Compatible fence posts, caps, foundations and post-specific hardware must be selected separately for the project.Can this fence be installed by a homeowner?
Yes. The panel system is DIY-friendly for users with intermediate skills and standard tools, but the buyer must also select and correctly install compatible support posts or structural connections.How much privacy does the 1/2-inch gap provide?
The 4-inch slats with 1/2-inch openings create semi-privacy, blocking most direct sight lines while allowing airflow and filtered light.Is the black finish resistant to fading?
The matte-black powder coating is UV-stable and designed for long-term exterior color retention. Routine cleaning helps maintain the finish in demanding environments.Can this fence be used in coastal or high-humidity areas?
Yes. Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust, and the powder-coated finish is well suited to moisture exposure. Salt residue should still be rinsed from the surface as part of routine maintenance.What does the C Channel version mean for installation?
The panel is supplied in the C Channel configuration so the fence section can interface with the separately selected support condition. Post type, anchors and structural hardware depend on the actual project.Is the aluminum panel non-combustible?
Yes. The aluminum substrate is non-combustible and does not ignite like wood or vinyl. Complete project compliance depends on the full assembly and applicable requirements.Can I use this as a replacement panel?
Potentially, yes. Confirm the existing support spacing, connection profile, finished height and structural compatibility before ordering the panel-only configuration.What post should I order with this kit?
Choose the post according to the actual line, corner, end, wall-mounted or gate-adjacent condition. Verify post size, height, foundation, wind exposure and connection details for the project rather than assuming one post fits every layout.Buy the panel without forcing the project into the wrong post package.
Choose the ALU40 6×6 C Channel No Post Kit when the support system is already planned, or send Aluglobus the fence layout when you need help matching posts, corners, ends, gates and mounting conditions to the panel package.
