Order two of these posts for each Residential Aluminum Single Gate and each Residential Aluminum Double Gate.

The TYPE = END version of this post can connect to a Residential GreatFence.com aluminum fence panel in line with your gate or at 90 degrees from the gate. Simply turn the post on-site, during installation, in the direction of the connecting fence panel. Posts are never sold in pairs; they’re sold individually.View Images

You need 2 gate posts for each gate: 2 BLANKS, 2 ENDS OR 1 OF EACH. BLANK Gate Posts are square, aluminum, powder coated posts with no holes routed in them. An END Gate Post is routed on one side and connects to one fence panel in line with the gate or at 90 degrees. i.e. a Gate Post – END can “act” as a corner post if your gate is positioned at a corner of your barrier.
