Low Maintenance Aluminium Gates Bestsellers In The UK
Aluminium Wall-Mounted Hinge Gate Post – Garden & Pedestrian Gate (Single Post)
This single aluminium hinge post is designed specifically for our Garden & Pedestrian Gates when you don’t have a suitable wall for fixing the hinges. Made from robust yet lightweight aluminium, it provides a sturdy fixing point on the hinge side of the gate while keeping maintenance to a minimum. The clean, modern profile works perfectly with contemporary UK homes and gardens.
The post is surface-mounted to the wall, so there’s no need for digging holes or concreting in – ideal for fixing to a solid wall or existing structure.
Posts are supplied individually (one post per pack) and come complete with a post cap and all required fittings and fixings. Designed for gates up to 2000mm in height (post height 2100 mm).
Key features
- Single wall-mounted hinge gate post for garden and pedestrian gates
- Made from strong, lightweight 3.5mm aluminium
- Supplied with post cap and fittings & fixings
- Modern, slim profile to match our gate designs
- Two colours available: Jet Black and Anthracite Grey – custom RAL colours available on request
- Naturally low maintenance – simply wash down with soapy water and rinse
- 5-year warranty for long-term peace of mind
Sizes available (width options)
All posts are 2100mm high with an 80mm depth, and three width options:
- W25mm
- W50mm
- W75mm
These width options are designed to help you match the total opening width when installing a gate. Openings between walls or posts are not always a standard size, so different post widths give you flexibility and make installation easier.
How to choose the right post size (example)
- If you install one of our Garden & Pedestrian Gates without any posts, allow 30 mm in total for hinges and clearance.
- If you are using a Receiver Gate Post (even if you also add a Hinge Gate Post): allow 20mm for clearance.
- Allow 30mm for hinges and clearance when fitting the gate without a Receiver Gate Post. If you select a Receiver Gate Post (with or without a Hinge Gate Post), the required clearance is 20mm.
Example A – Hinge Gate Post only
Opening width = 855mm
- 800mm (gate)
- 30mm (clearance)
- 25mm (Hinge Gate Post)
= 855mm opening width
Example B – Hinge Gate Post + Receiver Gate Post
Opening width = 870mm
- 800mm (gate)
- 20mm (clearance)
- 25mm (Hinge Gate Post)
- 25mm (Receiver Gate Post)
= 870mm opening width
Example C – Without posts
Opening width = 830mm
- 800mm (gate)
- 30mm (clearance)
= 830mm opening width
Example D – Receiver Gate Post only
Opening width = 845mm
- 800mm (gate)
- 20mm (clearance)
- 45 mm (Receiver Gate Post)
= 845mm opening width
Using the correct post width and clearance helps you achieve a neat fit in the opening and makes the gate quicker and easier to install.

Product & installation questions
Will this gate fit my opening?
Each gate is supplied in a set frame size. Please measure your brick-to-brick opening carefully and compare it with the size guide on this page. If you’re unsure, email our customer service team with photos and measurements.
Do I need posts for this gate?
You can fix the gate to existing brickwork or to aluminium posts. Posts are not included as standard – if you need them, please see our Aluminium Posts range or contact us for advice.
Can I install the gate myself?
Yes, a competent DIYer or installer can fit the gate using the supplied hardware. We recommend two people for lifting and fixing. Please follow the installation guide and video on installation guide page.
How much maintenance is required?
Our aluminium and composite gates are designed to be low maintenance. They do not rust or rot and don’t need repainting. We simply recommend washing them down occasionally with mild soapy water and checking the hinges and fixings once or twice a year.
Can you cut the gate to a custom width?
Yes, we offer a custom width cutting service on selected gates. Choose the Custom width cut option on the product page and enter your required finished size in millimetres. We will trim the gate to suit and finish the cut edge so it’s ready to install. Custom-cut gates are made to your measurements, so they can’t be returned or exchanged unless faulty. Please double-check your opening size before placing your order or contact us if you’re unsure.
Can I order a custom colour?
Yes, we can supply gates in custom RAL colours on request. If you would like a non-standard colour, please contact our customer service team with the RAL code from the RAL colour chart and the product details. We’ll confirm availability, lead time and pricing before you place your order.
What warranty do you offer?
All Readymade Gates products are covered by our standard 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
For full details on what’s included and the warranty period for each product range, click here to download our Warranty Guide (PDF).
Do you provide an installation service?
We do not currently offer an in-house installation service. Most customers use a local builder, landscaper or gate installer to fit their gate. We’re happy to provide general guidance.
Does the gate come with a lock and handle?
Yes. Our pedestrian gates are supplied with a lock and handle set as standard, along with the necessary fixings. Posts are not included unless specifically stated and can be purchased separately.
Can the pedestrian gates be hinged to the left or right?
Yes. The pedestrian gates can be fitted to hinge on either the left or the right, depending on your opening and how you would like the gate to swing. Your installer will position the hinges and latch to suit your layout.
How do I measure the width of gate I need?
Start by measuring the clear distance between the pillars or posts where the pedestrian gate will be installed. Measure the brick-to-brick (or post-to-post) opening in millimetres.
