Aluminium Slat Gates

Every gate we build is made to the opening it goes into. Choose the slat style for how you want it to look and how much you want it to screen, then the opening type for how the site actually works.

About aluminium slat gates

There are two decisions to make, and they are independent of each other. The first is the slat style — horizontal, vertical, louvre or picket — which sets how the gate looks and how much you can see through it. The second is the opening type — single, double or sliding — which is dictated far more by your site than by taste: how wide the opening is, how much room a leaf has to swing into, and how the ground falls across it.

Once those two are settled, everything else is dimensional. Width, height, slat spacing, colour, hinge side, hardware and whether the gate needs to accept automation are all set at fabrication, which is why nothing here is sold as a stock size. A gate cut down to fit is a gate with the slat pattern finishing in the wrong place.

If you are not sure which combination suits, describe your opening in an enquiry and send a photo taken square-on from a few metres back. That single photo answers most of the questions we would otherwise have to ask.

Single, double or sliding

How a gate opens is usually decided by the space available rather than by preference. These pages compare the same opening type across all four slat styles.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much do aluminium slat gates cost?
There is no meaningful list price, because every gate is made to a different size in a different configuration for a different opening. Width, height, slat style and spacing, colour, hardware, whether posts are needed and whether automation is fitted all move the number. Send us your dimensions and a photo and you will get a real quote rather than a range that turns out not to apply to you.
Are the gates custom made?
Yes. Every gate is fabricated to the measurements of the opening it is going into. That is why the slat spacing lands correctly top and bottom, and why gates can be built for arched, out-of-square and stepped openings that no stock gate would fit.
Do you supply gates outside Sydney?
Yes — gates are supplied Australia-wide. Installation is a separate service and is available across the Sydney metropolitan area only. Outside Sydney we supply the gate and you arrange your own installer.
What is the difference between a swing and a sliding gate?
A swing gate is hinged and opens into the property, in either one leaf (single) or two (double). A sliding gate runs sideways across the opening and never swings, which is what you need when there is no room for a leaf to open into — but it does need clear run-back space beside the opening, roughly as wide as the opening itself.
