ALUMINUM GATES

Picket size and spacing / rail size and spacing is the same as the aluminum fence panel specifications;  however, unlike our aluminum fence panels, aluminum single gates and aluminum double-swing driveway gates are framed and welded at every picket-to-rail connection point.  Also, unlike our aluinum fence panels, gate widths include the spacing for the gate hinges and gate lock.  Deductions are made at the factory.

aluminum gate widths are not actual. All gate widths include the spacing for the hinges and lock
