The operator must be selected for the actual leaf size and weight, and the post, footing, attachment, power and safety-device requirements must be coordinated for the installation.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat post sizes are shown for this Contractor Line gate?\u003c\/summary\u003eThe listing shows 2″, 2.75″ and 2″ × 3″ post options. The correct selection depends on the site conditions, exposure, footing design, gate use and any automation plan.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs it suitable for residential and commercial projects?\u003c\/summary\u003eYes. The current page positions this gate for residential driveways, estate entrances, gated communities, commercial properties and other wide access points where the double-swing layout is appropriate.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the aluminum rust?\u003c\/summary\u003e6063-T6 aluminum does not form iron-oxide rust like steel. The AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating adds exterior surface protection. Routine cleaning is still recommended, especially in coastal or high-salt environments.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow long does an aluminum horizontal swing gate last?\u003c\/summary\u003eThe current listing does not publish a fixed service-life number. 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. The product listing states that custom colors and custom sizes are available. Confirm the required opening, finish and hardware conditions with Aluglobus before ordering a nonstandard configuration.\u003c\/details\u003e\n        \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the aluminum non-combustible?\u003c\/summary\u003eThe product lists the aluminum substrate as non-combustible, with no normal ignition behavior and zero smoke development for the metal. 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.
