Product Information

Full details

The Durapost Aluminium Gate Frame (1188mm x 1770mm) is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust, modern solution for outdoor access. It provides an ideal, heavy-duty skeleton to house composite gate panels, delivering a sophisticated finish that resists environmental wear. While it offers exceptional durability, users must ensure they have the correct number of compatible composite slats to complete the build, as the frame is sold as the structural foundation rather than a pre-assembled gate.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this frame include the composite panels?

No, this product is the aluminium frame only. You will need to source 10 compatible composite gate panels separately.

Can I trim this frame to fit a smaller opening?

It is not recommended to modify the frame as this will compromise the structural integrity and the fit of the composite panels.

What is the weight capacity of this frame?

The frame is designed to support the weight of 10 standard composite slats. It is not intended for heavy, non-compatible materials.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the powder-coated Anthracite Grey finish is designed for external use and provides excellent protection against moisture and UV exposure.

How many panels does this frame require?

This specific model is designed to house exactly 10 composite gate panels.

Troubleshooting

Gate frame is not square after panel insertion

Check that all 10 composite panels are fully seated within the side channels and that the frame itself is properly braced during installation.

Difficulty mounting hinges to the frame

Ensure you are using screws or bolts specifically designed for aluminium sections to prevent stripping the metal threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior rust resistance due to aluminium construction
  • Stylish Anthracite Grey finish complements modern exterior aesthetics
  • High structural integrity for long-term gate stability
  • Simple integration with standard composite gate panels

Cons

  • Requires assembly of individual panels within the frame
  • Specifically sized; verify measurements before purchase
  • Requires separate purchase of composite panels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Durapost gate frame, ensure you have a level surface for the assembly of the 10 composite panels into the frame channels. The frame is compatible with standard composite gate slats intended for this specific 1188mm width. During installation, use appropriate gate hinges and locks designed for aluminium mounting points. For care and maintenance, the Anthracite Grey powder coating is low maintenance; simply wipe down the frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap periodically to remove dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch the powder-coated surface.
