Aluminum does not warp or crack like wood and does not rely on the same type of flexible vinyl surface. The gate is corrosion-resistant, low maintenance and built around a rigid interlocking T\u0026amp;G privacy surface.\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I install the ALU60 T\u0026amp;G Double Swing Gate Kit myself?\u003c\/summary\u003e\nYes.

For demanding commercial or automated applications, verify the post structure, hardware loads and whether the heavier Contractor Line frame is more appropriate.\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the ALU60 T\u0026amp;G Double Swing Gate provide privacy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\nYes. The standard ALU60 tongue-and-groove configuration interlocks the boards into a solid zero-gap surface, providing full visual privacy while maintaining clean horizontal lines.
