Aluminium Slat Gates & Fencing Canada Bay, Burwood & Strathfield
Grand period frontages alongside dense modern infill across the inner west's outer edge.
Local context
Working in Canada Bay, Burwood & Strathfield
These adjoining LGAs share a distinctive housing mix: substantial Federation and interwar homes on generous blocks, particularly through Strathfield and Burwood, alongside a large volume of newer townhouse and apartment infill.
The period frontages here are among the best candidates in Sydney for picket fencing done properly — the setbacks are deep enough and the houses formal enough that an open, well-proportioned front fence genuinely improves the presentation. Two-tone colour combinations, where the posts pick out a heritage colour against lighter pickets, suit these houses particularly well.
The infill development is the opposite brief: contemporary horizontal slats, dark colours, matched across multiple dwellings. Where a site has several frontages, quoting them as one package is what keeps the bay widths and rail heights consistent across the whole development.

Styles that suit Canada Bay, Burwood & Strathfield
Based on the housing, terrain and exposure described above — not a fixed rule, and every project gets specified on its own merits.
Horizontal Slat
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.

Vertical Slat
Aluminium Vertical Slat Single Gates
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.

Questions
Canada Bay, Burwood & Strathfield — questions we get asked
What colours suit a Federation home?
Two-tone combinations tend to work best — a lighter picket with the posts and frame picked out in a deeper heritage colour, which is how the cream-with-green and cream-with-red runs in our photography are done. Send a photo of your house and we will suggest combinations that sit with its existing colours.
