DuraPost® Aluminium Gate

An aesthetically pleasing aluminium gate which is designed to work well with both the DuraPost® fencing system and with any standard fencing. Constructed from EN/AW - 660 grade aluminium this gate is strong and secure and comes in three powder coated finishes: anthracite grey, sepia brown and olive grey.

Opening frame size: Maximum frame opening is 1.234 m. If reducing the gate width, the opening needs to be gate width plus 46 mm. Minimum recommended width: 0.5 m.

The aluminium gate composite infill panels (49.5 x 150 mm) have the same profile as the DuraPost® composite gravel board and are constructed from the same materials; extruded from PVC-U, manufactured and fully UV stabilized to BS EN ISO 21306-1. The material is extruded with a full through colour so if the board is damaged or scratched, the area is not clearly visible and will not cause any detrimental

effects to the board.

Over the lifetime of the product a gradual minor loss of shine may be noticeable, but this will have not detrimental effect to the material.

Available in three matching colours to complement the DuraPost® product range: Anthracite Grey RAL 7016, Olive Grey RAL 7002 and Sepia Brown RAL 8014.
