Common questions about the QuickShip Aluminum Walk Gate

How is QuickShip different from your made-to-order aluminum gates?

QuickShip is a stocked program rather than a build-to-order line, so it ships on the fastest timeline we offer for aluminum. The catch is fewer choices: two styles and black only. If your project is on a deadline, tell us and we will confirm the current lead time before you order.

What styles and colors are available?

Two styles — #300 Long Islander and #400 Alamo — in black only. If you need a different color or style, our Select Residential aluminum program has more options with a longer wait.

Will this gate match a fence I already have?

It matches QuickShip panels directly. Against another aluminum fence, compare picket spacing, rail count, and height before ordering. Close is usually good enough on a gate, but check first — send us a photo if you are unsure.

Can I install it myself?

Yes. The main work is setting a plumb gate post in concrete and hanging the gate level — a patient DIYer can do it in an afternoon. If you are near Wilmington, NC, our installers can handle it for you.

Does aluminum rust?

No. Aluminum does not rust the way steel does, and the powder-coat finish means there is nothing to repaint. It is the low-maintenance way to get the wrought-iron look.
