How long is each V-track section?

Each stainless steel V-track section is 96″, or 8′, long.

What grade of stainless steel is used?

Both the V-track and its attached concrete anchor rods are made from 304 stainless steel.

Which wheels should be used with this track?

Use compatible V-groove sliding-gate wheels that are properly sized for the gate weight, frame design, and operating conditions.

Can multiple V-track sections be connected?

Yes. Install as many 8′ sections as needed for the complete gate travel length. Keep all sections straight, level, and aligned at the same V-peak height.

Will this work with an Alumission sliding gate?

Yes. It is suitable for compatible Alumission sliding-gate systems using correctly sized V-groove wheels and properly designed guide and stop hardware.

How is the V-track installed?

Position and align the track, mark every anchor-rod location, drill the concrete, clean the holes, apply structural anchoring epoxy, insert the rods, recheck alignment, and allow the epoxy to cure completely.

What drill-bit size should I use?

Use a 3/8″ concrete drill bit as specified. Also follow the anchoring-epoxy manufacturer’s instructions for the required hole diameter, depth, and cleaning procedure.

Are the stainless steel anchor rods included?

Yes. The 3/8″ stainless steel rods are attached to the track and positioned at 24″ intervals.

Is the anchoring epoxy included?

No. Structural anchoring epoxy, the concrete drill bit, and installation tools are sold separately.

How should two track sections meet?

The V peaks must be on the same centerline and height, with a smooth joint and no offset or raised edge that could interfere with the wheel.

How much track do I need?

Measure the gate’s complete travel path, not only the opening. Order enough 8′ sections to support the gate wheels through the fully closed and fully open positions.

When can I operate the gate after installation?

Do not place the gate on the track or operate it until the anchoring epoxy has reached the full cure time specified by its manufacturer.

Can the track be installed outdoors?

Yes. 304 stainless steel offers good outdoor corrosion resistance. Regular cleaning is recommended, especially in coastal areas or locations exposed to salts and chlorides.

What should be checked before drilling?

Confirm the slab condition and thickness, underground utilities, complete gate travel, track centerline, wheel position, section joints, and every rod location.

What maintenance is required?

Keep the track free of rocks and debris, periodically clean the stainless steel, and inspect the track alignment, joints, anchor condition, wheels, guide rollers, and gate stops.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & INSTALLATION

Build a durable and accurately aligned running surface for your sliding gate with this 8′ 304 stainless steel V-track. The raised V profile guides compatible V-groove wheels, while the attached 3/8″ stainless steel rods anchor the track permanently into a suitable concrete slab with structural epoxy.

Each 96″ section can be used alone or aligned end to end with additional sections for the gate’s complete travel distance. The 304 stainless steel construction provides dependable outdoor durability for Alumission sliding gates, residential driveway gates, commercial rolling gates, and other properly designed V-wheel systems.

For installation, dry-fit the complete track, establish a straight centerline, mark every rod location, drill the concrete with a 3/8″ bit, clean the holes, apply structural anchoring epoxy, insert and align the track, and allow the epoxy to cure fully before operating the gate.

Questions & Answers

Find clear answers about Wall Topper sizing, 6-foot spans, included components, base-plate installation, concealed fasteners, style differences, finishes, maintenance and field fitting.

Sizing & Planning

What span is the aluminum Wall Topper designed for?

Each Wall Topper section is designed around a nominal 6-foot span between posts. The supplied horizontal slats are 6 feet long. Verify the actual field measurement before cutting, and plan one post per span plus one terminal post at the end of the run.

Which Wall Topper heights are available?

All five Wall Topper styles are offered in seven nominal heights: 1 foot, 1 foot 6 inches, 2 feet, 2 feet 6 inches, 3 feet, 3 feet 6 inches, and 4 feet. Select the height that fits the project, then review the exact style-specific material schedule shown on the product page.

How do I plan a multi-span Wall Topper run?

Divide the finished run into nominal 6-foot sections. Use one post for each span and add one terminal post at the end of the run. Confirm corners, end conditions, wall steps, field cuts, post locations, and local requirements before ordering.

How do I measure an existing wall for a Wall Topper?

Measure the total finished run, each individual wall section, corners, steps, end conditions, and the usable mounting surface. Mark proposed post locations and check for caps, slopes, drains, utilities, or other obstructions. Use actual field measurements—not only nominal wall dimensions—before ordering or cutting.

Can the 6-foot Wall Topper slats be cut for a shorter span?

Yes. The aluminum slats are supplied in 6-foot lengths and may be field cut to fit a shorter verified opening. Use suitable cutting equipment, keep cuts square, remove burrs, protect the finish, and confirm the finished post-to-post dimension before cutting.

Kit Contents & Style Options

What is included with an Alumission Wall Topper kit?

The selected kit includes Aluminum Post 2 Channels, two channel covers and one cap per post, an 18-inch zinc-coated steel post base and matching aluminum base cover per post, 6-foot aluminum slats in the selected style and height, the required pattern spacers where applicable, and stainless steel self-drilling assembly screws. Wall anchors are not included because the correct fastener depends on the wall material and project conditions.

How do Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco styles differ?

Dallas combines wide 5.5-inch slats with a four-slat 1-inch accent band. Los Angeles uses evenly spaced 5.5-inch slats. Miami centers a four-slat 1-inch accent band between wide slats. New York is a tight-stacked full-privacy design with size-specific finishing slats. San Francisco uses closely spaced 1-inch slats for a linear look. See the exact material schedule and proportional drawings on each style page.

Is the Wood finish real wood?

No. The Wood option is a wood-look finish applied to aluminum slats, not natural timber. It provides the warmth of a wood appearance while keeping the low-maintenance, noncombustible aluminum construction of the Wall Topper system.

How much privacy does an aluminum Wall Topper add?

Privacy depends on the selected style, height, slat sizes, and spacing. New York is the most closed design, while Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco create different levels of screening and visibility. Compare the style-specific drawings and material schedule before choosing.

Installation & Mounting

How do the base plate and base cover work?

Each post uses a zinc-coated steel base with a 4-inch by 4-inch plate and an 18-inch stem. The plate is anchored to a structurally suitable wall, the aluminum base cover slides over the plate to conceal the mounting screws or anchors, and the aluminum post slides over the steel stem. Plumb and align every post before installing the slats.

Can the Wall Topper be installed on concrete, masonry, wood, or steel?

Installation may be possible on concrete, masonry, properly reinforced wood, steel, or another structurally suitable wall when the correct substrate-specific anchors are used. Anchors are not included. The installer is responsible for confirming wall condition, edge distances, waterproofing, fastener selection, wind exposure, loads, and code or permit requirements.

Are anchors for the existing wall included?

No. Wall anchors are not included because the correct fastener and embedment depend on the wall material, wall condition, edge distances, loads, and site exposure. Select an anchor system specifically approved for the actual substrate and project conditions.

How do I know whether my wall can support a Wall Topper?

The existing wall and its foundation must be structurally suitable for the planned topper, anchors, height, and site loads. Inspect the wall for cracks, loose caps, deterioration, insufficient thickness, or other damage. When suitability is uncertain, have a qualified contractor or design professional evaluate it before installation.

Care, Ordering & Support

Does the Wall Topper require welding?

No welding is required for the kit assembly. Installation is a mechanical field-fit process that requires accurate measuring, cutting, drilling, leveling, fastening, and anchoring. Channel covers snap into place after assembly to conceal the slat-fastening screws.

Which finishes are available, and how should the Wall Topper be maintained?

Current finish options may include Black, Bronze, White, Dark Grey, Light Gray, and Wood. Availability can change by configuration. Clean powder-coated aluminum with water, mild soap, and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, and tools that can scratch the finish.

What should I verify before ordering?

Confirm the total run length, selected style and height, number of 6-foot spans, post and terminal locations, corners or steps, wall construction, anchor plan, finish, field-cut requirements, access, wind exposure, and local rules. Product drawings support selection and installation planning but are not stamped structural or permit drawings.

Can a Wall Topper follow a stepped or sloped wall?

A stepped wall can often be planned as separate level sections with post locations and field cuts coordinated at each change in elevation. A continuously sloped wall requires a custom layout. Measure every section carefully and confirm the proposed arrangement with Alumission before ordering.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a Wall Topper?

Requirements vary by location and property. Check local height limits, setbacks, wind and structural rules, permit requirements, easements, and any HOA or architectural-review standards before ordering or installing. The product drawings are planning references, not stamped permit or structural drawings.
