A contractor-grade aluminum pad gate built around a 4″ HD USA frame, horizontal ALU20 slats, heavy-duty hinge hardware, and 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap options for residential and light-commercial access. The full-width gate video introduces three core features of the Contractor Line gate system. See how our gate system goes together quickly and cleanly. Works with multiple post sizes, fence layouts, and access-hardware plans when the project is configured correctly. 6063-T6 aluminum and AAMA 2604 powder coating support a corrosion-resistant, weather-ready gate system. The assembly video is paired with ALU20 product-family imagery. The Alu20 SLAT Contractor Line 4′ × 6′ Horizontal Gate Kit is a heavy-duty aluminum pad gate system engineered for professional contractors and experienced homeowners who want a strong pedestrian gate with a clean horizontal-slat design. Built around a 4″ HD USA aluminum gate frame, the Contractor Line package combines a rigid frame, ALU20 horizontal slats, channel components, a 6′ L-shape gate stopper, and heavy-duty hinge hardware. The 1/2″ gap layout provides a practical balance of privacy, airflow, and visibility, while the current product configuration is also offered with a 3/8″ gap option. The result is a repeatable aluminum gate package for residential walk gates, side yards, pool-area access layouts, courtyards, gardens, modern aluminum fence systems, light-commercial projects, and multi-family properties. Heavy-duty aluminum components are designed for frequent-use pedestrian access and repeatable installations. Clean architectural lines work with contemporary and traditional exterior settings. 6063-T6 aluminum avoids iron-oxide rust and is suited to coastal, humid, and weather-exposed environments. Precision-fit components reduce field fabrication while supporting square, rigid assembly. Consistent horizontal spacing and a rigid frame create a clean installed appearance. The gate can be coordinated with 2″, 2.75″, or 2″ × 3″ aluminum posts based on the project condition. A heavy-duty pedestrian-gate format for everyday residential access. Horizontal aluminum design for controlled access. Final pool-barrier compliance depends on the complete installation and local requirements. A clean architectural gate for landscaped and hardscape environments. Coordinate the ALU20 slat pattern with compatible horizontal aluminum fencing. A contractor-grade direction for appropriate higher-use pedestrian access conditions. The Contractor Line package centers on structural aluminum components sized for a 4×6 single-swing pedestrian gate. 4″ HD USA aluminum gate-frame material for the Contractor Line structure. Internal frame connection hardware for square assembly. Channel components used to organize and secure the ALU20 slat field. Receiver-side stop component for the finished single-swing gate. Heavy-duty hinge hardware for the Contractor Line swing connection. Specified fastening hardware included in the gate-kit component list. Black fastening hardware for the specified gate assembly. Additional assembly fasteners specified for the kit. 2″ × 3/4″ × 6′ horizontal aluminum slats for the gate infill. The ALU20 Contractor Line uses architectural 6063-T6 extruded aluminum for the frame and slat system. Aluminum is lightweight relative to steel, corrosion resistant, dimensionally stable, and appropriate for long-term exterior gate applications. The finish direction uses an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coating system. Powder-coated finishes can be coordinated with matching aluminum fence systems, subject to the finish options available for the order. The horizontal slat layout can be configured with a 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap. The 1/2″ layout provides more open area for airflow and light while still creating meaningful visual screening. The Contractor Line is intended for pad-mount or surface-mounted installation conditions and is best handled by professional installers or experienced DIYers. Use these six installation checkpoints to organize the 4×6 ALU20 Contractor Line assembly from preparation through final alignment. Organize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement. Confirm the finished opening, post configuration, swing direction, and selected slat gap before assembly. Connect the heavy-duty gate frame with the specified screws, keeping every corner square and secure before installing the slats. Insert the ALU20 slats into the channel system and maintain the selected 3/8″ or 1/2″ spacing consistently through the gate. Secure the slats with the specified fasteners. Attach the heavy-duty support hinge to the selected side post and gate frame, maintaining proper alignment for smooth swing. Install the selected side support, stopper, and finish components for the actual post and opening condition. Inspect fasteners, frame squareness, slat spacing, hinge action, stopper contact, closing alignment, and finish surfaces before the gate is placed into service.

These answers cover DIY installation, slat spacing, finish durability, opening size, post compatibility, Contractor Line construction, included parts, material, coastal use, and ALU20 fence coordination. Yes. The Contractor Line gate is pre-engineered and does not require welding for the supplied frame assembly. It is best suited to professional installers and experienced DIYers who can verify the opening, post condition, hinge alignment, frame squareness, and final hardware setup. A 1/2-inch gap is the open space between adjacent horizontal ALU20 slats. It provides partial visual screening while allowing airflow and light through the gate. The current product is also offered with a 3/8-inch gap option. The gate uses an architectural powder-coated finish intended for exterior UV and weather exposure. Like any exterior finish, appearance can change gradually over a long service period, but routine cleaning and correct care help maintain the surface. The gate is configured to build a finished 4-foot-wide by 6-foot-high single-swing gate. Confirm the actual rough opening, hinge-side support, latch-side clearance, post size, and installation method before ordering. The product content identifies 2-inch, 2.75-inch, and 2-inch by 3-inch aluminum post options. Final post selection depends on site conditions, gate weight, hinge configuration, and installation method. The Contractor Line uses a 4-inch heavy-duty aluminum frame, heavy-duty hinge hardware, and a repeatable component package intended for frequent-use pedestrian access and professional installation conditions. The product content lists 20 feet of 4-inch HD USA aluminum gate-frame material, an inner corner bracket, channel kit, 6-foot L-shape gate stopper, heavy-duty 5-inch two-way support hinge, #10 x 1-inch screws, #12 x 2-inch black screws, #10 x 3/4-inch screws, and new ALU20 2-inch x 3/4-inch x 6-foot slats. The gate uses architectural 6063-T6 extruded aluminum with an AAMA 2604 powder-coating direction. The aluminum substrate is corrosion resistant and non-combustible. Yes. Aluminum and architectural powder coating are well suited to corrosion-conscious exterior material selection, including coastal and humid environments. Routine rinsing is useful where salt or airborne contaminants can collect. Yes. The ALU20 horizontal slat pattern is designed to coordinate with compatible ALU20 fence systems, post configurations, and powder-coated finishes.
