A wide mix from heritage cottages to new medium density across Sydney's second CBD.

Local context
Parramatta covers an unusually broad range of housing in one LGA. There are genuine heritage cottages in the older pockets, extensive post-war suburbs through the middle, and a large amount of new medium-density development around the centre and along the river.
That mix means the style question actually varies here rather than defaulting one way. Older cottages in the heritage pockets suit picket, and putting dark horizontal slats on them tends to look wrong. Newer townhouse and duplex developments almost always want horizontal slats matched to the roof and window colours. Getting that choice right matters more in Parramatta than in areas with more uniform housing stock.
For multi-dwelling developments, the practical advice is to quote the whole site's fencing and gates as one package. Consistent bay set-out and colour across several dwellings is what makes a development look finished rather than assembled.
Recommended
Based on the housing, terrain and exposure described above — not a fixed rule, and every project gets specified on its own merits.

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.

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

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.
