Description
The ALU40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 12′ × 6′ Gate Kit combines a warm horizontal wood-look finish with a corrosion-resistant 6063-T6 aluminum platform. The Universal DIY format is designed for field assembly and adjustment, giving homeowners and contractors a clean double-swing entrance without relying on a structural wood gate. These views highlight the Universal DIY frame, horizontal ALU40 infill, exterior finish, hinge support and assembly details behind the gate system. The Universal DIY layout is built around an aluminum frame and ALU40 horizontal infill. The current installation sequence allows the slats to be cut, inserted and spaced during assembly, so the finished privacy rhythm can be coordinated before the gate is finalized. A large double-swing gate package for modern residential, estate and light-commercial entrances that want wood aesthetics with aluminum performance. The assembly flow separates the core gate-system components from site-specific items that should be confirmed before ordering. The aluminum frame forms the structural perimeter of each gate leaf and is assembled square with stainless-steel screws. Horizontal aluminum infill supplies the wood-look surface while retaining the corrosion resistance and dimensional stability of aluminum. The current instructions reference stainless-steel screws for both frame assembly and securing the ALU40 slats. Hinges are aligned between the gate frame and side supports so both leaves can swing cleanly without binding. Side components and flat caps finish the system after the frame, slats and hinge alignment have been completed. Confirm posts or mounting surfaces, center-stop strategy, latch or lock, clearances and any automation hardware for the actual opening before installation. Woodgrain brings a natural visual texture to the clean horizontal proportions of the ALU40 gate system. The gate does not depend on a wood substrate that needs routine staining, sealing or repainting to preserve its appearance. Aluminum avoids the iron-oxide rust mechanism associated with ferrous gate materials and is well suited to exterior exposure. The product listing identifies the structural material as non-combustible aluminum for projects where material selection matters. The current installation sequence allows ALU40 slat spacing to be coordinated during assembly instead of forcing the fixed gap used on some other SKUs. Custom sizes and color options can be coordinated for openings that require more than the standard 12′ × 6′ package. Additional views highlight the wood-look finish, horizontal proportions and completed aluminum gate applications. The current Elementor export includes an ALU40 DIY pedestrian-gate assembly diagram. Use it as a component-orientation reference together with the 12′ × 6′ product instructions and your actual site dimensions. Drawing note: the source diagram is labeled 6 ft × 8 ft. It is retained here as an ALU40 DIY system reference only and should not be treated as the final dimension drawing for this 12′ × 6′ double-swing SKU. Create a coordinated double-swing entrance with the visual warmth of woodgrain and an aluminum structural system. The 12′ × 6′ format gives larger residential entries a stronger architectural presence than a small pedestrian gate. Use a wider opening where equipment, trailers or larger access paths require more clearance than a single gate leaf. Corrosion-resistant aluminum is well suited to humid and salt-air environments when the system is properly maintained. A modern double-swing solution for projects that want a clean horizontal gate appearance without a traditional wood frame. Coordinate ALU40 horizontal infill with surrounding aluminum fence layouts for a more continuous exterior design. Real wood can require recurring treatment and can move as moisture conditions change. This gate uses aluminum beneath the woodgrain appearance, giving the entrance a wood-inspired look while the structural gate platform remains metal. The sequence below preserves the installation logic currently published for this product while adding the planning context a 12-foot double opening needs. Organize the frame, ALU40 slats, fasteners, hinges and finishing pieces in a clean work area. Confirm the opening and gate-leaf plan before cutting. Connect the Universal DIY frame with stainless-steel screws and keep the corners square before the infill is installed. Cut and insert the ALU40 slats into the frame grooves, establish the intended spacing, then secure each slat with the provided stainless-steel screws. Attach and align the heavy-duty hinge points between the side supports and gate frames so both leaves can operate smoothly. Install the side components and finishing pieces after the final mounting condition, center relationship and clearances have been confirmed. Install caps, tighten connections, verify swing and closure on both leaves, then clean the finished aluminum surfaces. Measure the actual clear opening and confirm how the 12′ × 6′ nominal gate package relates to posts, walls and required operating gaps. Confirm center meeting conditions, leaf widths, hinge sides and the swing path before frame assembly begins. Choose the desired ALU40 spacing before cutting and fastening the horizontal slats so both leaves match visually. Mounting posts or walls must be rigid, aligned and appropriate for the hinge loads and selected anchors. Plan the latch, lock, drop rods, center stop or other closing hardware required by the actual double-swing configuration. If the project will use operators or access control, coordinate that hardware before finalizing frame, hinge and stop conditions. Do not assume automation hardware is included with the gate kit. Watch the Universal DIY gate platform and construction details in motion before planning your own 12′ × 6′ double-swing opening. Confirm the finished opening, both swing directions, slat spacing, mounting condition and access hardware before ordering. For non-standard openings, custom sizes and finish options are available. Review the key questions about DIY assembly, material specifications, slat spacing, maintenance and custom sizing before ordering.

Answers before you assemble the 12′ × 6′ ALU40 Woodgrain gate.
Is the ALU40 Woodgrain Universal DIY 12′ × 6′ Gate Kit designed for self-installation?
Yes. The Universal DIY platform is designed around screw-assembled components and published installation steps. Because this is a large double-swing gate, uneven ground, demanding usage, difficult mounting conditions or automation may justify professional contractor assistance for alignment and long-term operation.
Is this a single gate or a double-swing gate?
This 12′ × 6′ ALU40 Woodgrain product is listed in the Double Swing Pedestrian Gate category and its product content identifies it as a DIY double-gate kit.
What aluminum and coating specifications are listed for this gate?
The current product specifications list 6063-T6 USA-made aluminum, an architectural coating process and AAMA-2604 coating information using Cardinal Paint / TIGER materials.
Does this 12′ × 6′ gate have a fixed 1/2″ slat gap?
The current 12′ × 6′ instructions do not state a fixed 1/2-inch gap. They direct the installer to insert the ALU40 slats and adjust the spacing to the desired privacy level before securing them. Confirm your intended spacing before cutting and fastening the slats.
What maintenance does the woodgrain aluminum gate require?
Routine care is minimal compared with structural wood. Periodically rinse the aluminum surfaces, remove accumulated environmental deposits, inspect hinges and fasteners, and lubricate moving hardware when needed. The aluminum gate does not require routine wood staining or sealing.
Is it suitable for coastal or high-humidity environments?
The product is listed as having excellent corrosion resistance, and aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust. In coastal environments, periodic cleaning is still recommended to remove salt and other deposits from the finish and hardware.
Can I order another color or a different size?
Yes. The current product specifications state that custom colors and custom sizes are available. Confirm the finished opening and requested finish with Aluglobus before ordering a non-standard configuration.
Send the opening dimensions and photos. Confirm the right double-gate package before you cut the first slat.
