Aluminium Slat Gates & Fencing Waverley
Bondi and surrounds: dense, coastal, overlooked, and short on space to swing anything.
Local context
Working in Waverley
Waverley concentrates every constraint we deal with into a small area. Blocks are small and densely built, so almost every rear yard is overlooked from a neighbouring window. Salt exposure is significant across most of the LGA. And there is rarely spare space — for a gate to swing into, for an installer to work in, or for a truck to park.
The result is that louvre screening does a lot of work here. Being overlooked from an adjacent second storey is the standard problem, and a louvre panel set to the actual sightline solves it without turning a small courtyard into an airless box. Where the overlooking is from a specific window rather than generally, a targeted custom screen is usually a better and cheaper answer than fencing the whole boundary higher.
Access is worth flagging in your enquiry. Narrow streets, restricted parking and stair-only access to rear yards all affect how a job is done, and it is much better to know before delivery than on the day.
What we are usually asked for here
- Privacy screening from overlooking second storeys
- Small courtyard and rear yard enclosures
- Coastal boundary fencing
- Compact side-access gates
- Balcony and terrace privacy screens
Site conditions worth planning for
- Overlooking is the dominant problem — louvre set to the actual sightline is usually the answer
- Salt exposure across most of the LGA favours aluminium and regular washing
- Delivery and installation access is frequently restricted; flag it early
- Small yards suffer badly from solid screening — airflow matters

Styles that suit Waverley
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
Waverley — questions we get asked
How do I stop a neighbour's upstairs window looking into my yard?
A louvre screen with the blade angle set against that specific sightline is normally the most effective option, and it only needs to cover the zone that matters rather than the whole boundary. Take a photo from as close as you can get to where the person is looking from, plus one from your side, and include both with your enquiry.
