Long-term performance depends on correct structural installation, hinge and operator setup, exposure, use cycle and maintenance. Aluminum avoids the rust and rot mechanisms that commonly shorten the life of steel and wood gates.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I order a custom color or custom size?\u003c\/summary\u003eYes.

That material characteristic does not by itself certify a complete gate installation for every fire-code or defensible-space requirement, so project-specific compliance should still be confirmed.\u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection\u003e\n        Ready to specify the gate?\n        \u003ch2\u003eConfirm the 12′ × 6′ opening, supports and swing plan before the kit arrives.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eFor a standard manual installation, verify the finished opening, post condition and double-swing clearance.
