Build straighter, longer-lasting gates with this aluminum gate corner designed specifically for 1-3/8″ chain link gate frames. The integrated truss wire/cable hole simplifies bracing on wider spans to combat gate sag, while the aluminum construction delivers reliable, professional grade performance without the rust concerns of painted or bare steel.
Why Choose This
- Corrosion resistance — Ideal for damp or coastal environments
- Integrated bracing — No drilling needed to add a truss wire/cable
- Consistent sizing — Snug fit on standard 1-3/8″ O.D. framework
- Contractor-friendly — Simple, repeatable installs across multiple gates

Installation
Cut the gate framework to size and dry-fit corners on the rail ends. Square each corner to the rail, fully seat for a snug fit, and secure using self-tapping screws at suitable points on the corner. Route a truss wire/cable through the integrated hole and tension to counter gate sag—especially helpful on wider gates. Repeat for all four corners.
Buying Guide
- When to choose aluminum: Pick aluminum for rust-proof performance, lighter handling, and an easy path to add truss support.
- Pressed steel vs. aluminum: Galvanized pressed steel is rugged; aluminum is lighter and resists rust without coating.
- 3-bolt clamp corners: Useful for clamp-on assembly/repairs; this aluminum style installs with screws and keeps parts count down.
- Bracing tip: On wider gates, use a truss wire/cable and a tensioning device to keep the latch side from dropping over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What pipe size does this corner fit?
- It’s sized for 1-3/8″ O.D. residential chain link gate pipe.
- Is mounting hardware included?
- No. Use self-tapping screws (sold separately) to secure the corner.
- Do I need a truss wire or cable?
- It’s strongly recommended for wider gates. The built-in hole makes routing simple.
- How many corners are used per gate?
- Four corners per rectangular gate frame—one at each corner.
- Can I use this on drive gates?
- Yes—commonly used on residential walk and drive gates with 1-3/8″ frames.
- Will aluminum rust?
- No. Aluminum won’t rust, helping the corner maintain a clean appearance.
Comparison
- Aluminum Corner (this item): Won’t rust; light and easy to install; integrated truss port for simple bracing.
- Pressed Steel Corner (Galvanized): Very rigid and durable; heavier and may require edge protection if cut.
- 3-Bolt Clamp Corner: Clamp-on design for adjustments or repairs; higher part count and more visual hardware.
- Welded/Mitered Frame: Strongest, clean look; requires welding skill/equipment and is not easily adjustable.
