DuraPost® Aluminium Gate Frame
- Up To 25 Year Guarantee | Maintenance-Free Fencing
Make an entrance with our stylish DuraPost® Aluminium Adjustable Garden Gate Frame. We believe that a gate can do more than just provide access to and from your property. It can also enhance the look of your outdoors, complement your home and become a key feature of your garden.
Every project is different, which is why we've designed a gate to adjust to any outside space.
The DuraPost® Gate Frame gives you the flexibility to build a gate to your individual taste by following 3 easy steps:
Step One: Aluminium Gate Frame
Select your preferred colour of gate frame from Anthracite Grey, Olive Grey or Sepia Brown.
Step Two: Infill/Panel
Select your preferred material to infill the gate. We recommend using our DuraPost® composite infill panels (purchased separately) in the same or contrasting colour for a full composite maintenance free look, or infilled with a custom timber match fence of your choice.
DuraPost® infill pack can be purchased alongside the gate frame.
Step Three: Adjust to Size
The maximum width is 1.188m, and can be reduced by cutting the top and bottom cross-rail down to the desired size with a chop-saw that has a new sharp metal-cutting blade.
The maximum height is 1.770m, and can be reduced in increments of 150mm down to a minimum of 1.32m.
Step Four: Select your Gate Hardware Kit
Our Kit comprises of:
Hinges: 2 x 165mm x 60mm made from Grade 304 3mm stainless steel lift off hinge. With no visible fixings when closed and anti-theft orientation, they are safe and secure.
Gate handle: 72mm narrow style back plate handle made from high-quality stainless steel. With a cylinder that can be keyed to your house key.
Lock: 72mm centre, 60mm back set lock.
Corner bracket: The corner brackets are an integral part of the DuraPost® Aluminium Gate, providing a rigid structure and a solid steel fixing point for the corners.
Steel Packer: Steel core ensures that corners remain square and provides a very strong point for hinges to be fixed/hang.
Plastic Packer: The steel packer and the plastic packer work together with the steel corner bracket to provide accurate fixing points.
Gate Hardware can be purchased alongside the gate frame.
Material: Made from powder-coated aluminium which means no rusting or painting required.
Constructed from EN/AW 600-grade aluminium, this gate is strong and secure.
Lock & hinge set are constructed from grade 304, 3mm thick stainless steel. The anti-theft design orients the hinges in such a way that the gate cannot be removed when closed.
Lock: DIN standard lock, to BS/EN 12209 with a 72mm centre, and 60mm back set. A cylinder is also supplied, made in the UK to BS/EN 1303:2005. The catch direction can be easily switched simply by pulling out the catch and twisting.

About Birkdale
For over 40 years Birkdale has sought to redefine the design and manufacturing standards of fencing systems. Through constant innovation, bold thinking, and a commitment to reconciling form and function, we have earned the trust of millions. Today our products can be found enhancing outdoor spaces, great and small, throughout the UK. We design fencing systems that redefine the outdoor experience, and create extraordinary spaces that homeowners can be proud of. Sturdy, stylish, and effortless to install, our products are built to withstand whatever the elements can throw at them, giving years of trouble-free service. And all backed up by our guarantee of up to 25 years.
Stockists nationwide
When we designed DuraPost the goal was to make customers’ lives as easy as possible. And we think that should include viewing and buying the posts, panels, and other accessories you need to create your perfect outdoor space. We’ve partnered with Wickes and hundreds of other leading outlets throughout the UK, to help you to explore the DuraPost range up close, and select the components you need.
Trained installers
A key principle in the DuraPost design brief was making it simple, both to install and to live with. However we understand that some may not have the time, or perhaps the DIY confidence, to install their own fencing system. That’s why in 2019 we introduced a training programme for installers across the UK & Ireland. It allows our customers quickly and easily to access a skilled, experienced installer in their area who’s familiar with the DuraPost system, and can help bring their outdoor space to life.
DuraPost® - Inspired by the outdoors
Why choose DuraPost®?
We believe every garden or outdoor space deserves to be framed with stunning fencing. In DuraPost®, we have created a modern, stylish fencing system that combines timeless design with advanced, long-lasting materials, able to withstand the forces of nature. Developed around an innovative H-shaped post design, the DuraPost® system comprises sturdy cold rolled galvanised steel posts, and durable composite panels that won't rot or crack. Manufactured to exacting standards by experienced UK designers and craftspeople, DuraPost® embodies the sustainable principles to which our zero-carbon business is committed. Effortless to install, maintenance-free, and backed by our guarantee of up to 25 years, DuraPost® will help you embrace the joy of your great outdoors.
DuraPost® - Unlike timber, it's designed to go the distance
DuraPost® thrives in the UK's harsh, unforgiving conditions. Impervious to the rotting or cracking of its wooden or concrete predecessors, it offers year after year of reliable, maintenance-free service. DuraPost® has also been exhaustively tested to withstand the high winds that each year reduce thousands of fences to firewood. The DuraPost® system is available in a selection of rich colours, designed to enhance and complement the natural features of any outdoor space. And at a fraction of the weight of concrete posts, it can be installed quickly, easily, and with confidence.
DuraPost® - A core of steel
Crafted in the UK from sustainable materials (made from 50% recycled steel and 100% recyclable at end of life), DuraPost® steel fence posts not only enhance your environment, but are kinder to the world beyond it. The foundation of the DuraPost® system is the robust yet lightweight cold rolled galvanised steel post. Weighing 80% less that the equivalent concrete post, its unique H-shaped design was born of our team's unrivalled insight and experience in fencing. DuraPost® offers the flexibility to work with almost any fence panel or board. Trusted by fence installers across the UK, DuraPost® fence posts are widely used with both traditional fencing materials and our composite panels. DuraPost® delivers performance and long-term resilience unmatched by wooden and concrete alternatives.
