The components needed to build the 4×6 pedestrian gate.
Aluminum gate frame
The Universal DIY aluminum frame creates the structural perimeter for the 4 ft × 6 ft single-swing gate.
ALU40 woodgrain slats
Horizontal aluminum infill creates the natural wood appearance while retaining aluminum’s corrosion resistance and dimensional stability.
Hinges and latch
Gate hardware is included in the product content for the pedestrian swing and closing function.
Mounting hardware
Mounting brackets and assembly hardware support the pre-engineered installation workflow.
Assembly fasteners
The installation instructions reference stainless-steel screws for frame and slat assembly.
Installation guide
The six-step assembly sequence covers preparation, frame assembly, slats, hinges, posts and final adjustments.
Warm architectural character without the upkeep cycle of real wood.
Realistic wood appearance
The woodgrain finish brings warmth and visual texture to a modern horizontal aluminum gate.
Low maintenance
No routine painting, staining or sealing is required to maintain the wood-look surface.
1/2″ horizontal spacing
The specified gap allows airflow and light passage while preserving a clean, consistent slat rhythm.
Corrosion-resistant aluminum
Aluminum does not form iron-oxide rust, making it well suited to exterior and humid environments.
Non-combustible material
The product is specified as non-combustible aluminum for projects where material selection matters.
DIY-friendly system
The pre-engineered format is designed for straightforward assembly without field welding.

A wood-look aluminum gate for modern residential and light-commercial spaces.
Home entryways
Add a warm, modern pedestrian gate to side yards, walkways and residential entrances.
Pool enclosures
Coordinate the woodgrain gate with surrounding aluminum fencing and landscape materials where applicable.
Garden and backyard access
The horizontal wood-look design works well around planted areas, patios and backyard transitions.
Residential properties

Landscape design
Woodgrain aluminum can bridge modern architecture with warmer natural materials in the surrounding landscape.
Keep the visual warmth. Remove the staining and sealing routine.
Real wood can require recurring surface treatment and can change dimension with moisture. This ALU40 system uses aluminum beneath the woodgrain finish, so the gate keeps a wood-inspired appearance without relying on a wood structural member.
No routine stainingThe finish arrives complete and does not require wood stain. No routine sealingThere is no wood substrate that must be periodically sealed against moisture. No iron-oxide rustAluminum avoids the red-rust mechanism associated with ferrous gate materials. Exterior-ready finishThe source specifies AAMA 2604 finish materials for exterior weather exposure.Six steps from unpacking to final gate adjustment.
Preparation
Organize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement.
Frame assembly
Connect the Universal DIY frame with stainless-steel screws, keeping all corners square and secure.
Slat installation
Cut and insert the ALU40 slats into the frame grooves, maintain the specified spacing and secure the slats with the provided screws.
Hinge installation
Attach the gate hinges to the side support and frame, then verify alignment for smooth swing operation.
Post and gap-cover installation
Install the side components and finishing pieces required for the selected opening and layout.
Final touches
Install caps, inspect all connections, confirm swing and closure, and clean the finished aluminum surfaces.
Confirm the 4×6 layout, 1/2″ gap, mounting condition and hardware before assembly.
Verify the 4 ft × 6 ft opening
Measure the finished opening and surrounding surfaces before the gate is assembled or mounted.
Confirm the 1/2″ slat gap
This SKU is specified with a 1/2-inch gap. For different spacing, select another configuration or request a custom option.
Choose the swing direction
Confirm which side will carry the hinge and where the gate must swing so the pathway remains clear.
Check the mounting surfaces
