Aluminium Horizontal Slat Single Gates
One leaf, hung on hinges, with flat aluminium slats running the width of the gate. The workhorse of side access — built to your opening rather than cut down from a stock size.
Custom-made to your opening · Supplied Australia-wide · Installed across Sydney
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.

Horizontal Slat
One leaf, hung on hinges, with flat aluminium slats running the width of the gate. The workhorse of side access — built to your opening rather than cut down from a stock size.

Horizontal Slat
Two leaves meeting in the middle, with horizontal slats running continuously across both. The standard answer for a driveway.

Horizontal Slat
One leaf that runs sideways instead of swinging. The answer when the driveway starts at the property line or a car parks right behind the gate.

Vertical Slat
The flat slat profile turned on end, in a single hinged leaf. Adds height to a frontage and handles ground fall better than a horizontal panel.

Vertical Slat
A matched pair of vertical slat leaves. The formal option for a driveway, and the practical one where the ground falls across the opening.

Vertical Slat
A vertical slat leaf that runs sideways. Combines the formal upright look with a gate that never swings into the driveway.

Louvre
A single hinged leaf with angled louvre blades. Near-solid privacy from the street without the weight and wind load of a solid gate.

Louvre
A matched pair of louvre leaves across a driveway. The most private gate we build that still lets air through.

Louvre
Louvre privacy on a gate that runs sideways. For constrained driveways where a solid swing gate was never an option.

Vertical Picket
A traditional picket gate built in powder-coated aluminium. Keeps a frontage open and welcoming rather than screened off.

Vertical Picket
A matched pair of picket leaves across a driveway, with fencing either side carrying the same picket spacing across the frontage.

Vertical Picket
Picket styling on a gate that runs sideways. Light, open, and useful where there is no room for leaves to swing.
Detail
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.

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.
One leaf hung on hinges down one side. Single gates cover everything from a side-access pedestrian gate through to a narrow driveway. The practical limit is set by leaf weight and the swing arc: past a certain width a single leaf puts real load on its hinges and posts, and needs a long clear arc to open into.
View single gates →Two leaves that meet in the middle, each hung on its own side. Splitting a wide opening in half halves the swing arc and the load on each hinge set, which is why double gates are the standard answer for driveways. A drop bolt into the ground normally holds the first leaf shut while the second latches to it.
View double gates →A single leaf that runs sideways across the opening instead of swinging into it. Sliding gates are the answer when there is no room to swing — a driveway that starts at the property line, a steep entry, or a car parked close behind the gate. The trade-off is that the gate needs clear run-back space beside the opening roughly as wide as the opening itself.
