Propane Tank Enclosure in Las Cruces, NM 88011

Aluminum Gates in a bronze, horizontal-slat design deliver a clean, modern screen that hides propane tanks and equipment without blocking airflow. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum with approximately 2 mm wall thickness and powder-coated for durability, the panel uses a rectangular perimeter frame with 2 in square posts. A slim top header, a ventilated band of 2 in slats with 1/4–1/2 in gaps, and a solid lower field of wide slats balance privacy and ventilation. Sized around 5.5–6 ft wide by 3–3.5 ft tall, it installs easily on compacted gravel or concrete.

Engineered for low maintenance, Aluminum Gates resist rust, corrosion, and termites, standing up to sun, wind, and moisture with simple cleaning only. Precision-made in the USA, these aluminum profiles offer long service life and a refined, contemporary finish. For homeowners, property managers, and commercial sites seeking a sleek enclosure solution, Aluminum Gates provide reliable strength, style, and versatility.
