FAQs

Does the kit include the fence posts?

No, the kit contains the aluminum gate frame, ten composite boards, and the gate hardware. Fence posts must be purchased separately.

Can I trim the composite boards to size?

Yes, the boards can be trimmed using standard woodworking tools, though you should ensure edges are sealed if required by specific local environmental conditions.

Is the gate reversible for left or right opening?

Yes, the design allows for flexible installation, enabling you to set it up for either a left-hand or right-hand swing.

Does the composite material fade over time?

While composite is highly UV-resistant, minor color settling may occur over many years of direct, intense sun exposure.

How many boards are included?

The kit includes ten composite gate boards.

Is the aluminum frame powder-coated?

The aluminum frame is finished to be durable and resistant to corrosion, consistent with the high standards of the Durapost system.

Troubleshooting

Gate is dragging on the ground

Adjust the hinges to raise the gate frame, ensuring the post has not shifted or leaned.

Difficulty closing the latch

Verify that the latch plate is perfectly aligned with the gate catch and tighten any loose mounting hardware.

Surface appears dusty or dull

Clean the composite boards with a soft-bristle brush and a mixture of mild detergent and water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete all-in-one kit reduces the need for sourcing individual parts
  • Aluminum frame prevents sagging commonly found in traditional timber gates
  • Composite material is highly resistant to rot and insect damage
  • Requires virtually no maintenance compared to wood alternatives

Cons

  • Heavier than traditional wood, requiring sturdy post support
  • Requires precise measurements for a perfectly level fit
  • The brown finish cannot be easily repainted if a color change is desired

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your installation, ensure that the ground is level and that your support posts are installed deep enough to handle the weight of the aluminum frame. Use the included hardware kit to bolt the hinges directly onto the frame, ensuring pre-drilling is done to prevent material stress. For compatibility, this kit is specifically designed for integration with Durapost systems but can be adapted for other sturdy vertical structures. For care, simply wash the gate with mild soap and water occasionally to remove dirt or debris; avoid using harsh chemical strippers or high-pressure power washers, which may damage the composite surface texture.
