OPENING STYLES

Choosing the right gate design: Options and considerations for your property


When choosing a gate opening style, some properties will be able to select from the full range of options, while others may be limited by factors such as space, property slope, or access requirements. Common gate opening styles include:

  • Swing Gates: Traditional hinged gates that open inward or outward.
  • Sliding Gates: Gates that move horizontally along a track, ideal for limited space.
  • Cantilevered Gates: A sliding gate that "floats" with no ground track, suitable for uneven surfaces.
  • Bi-fold Gates: Gates that fold in half when opening, great for tight spaces.
MATERIAL OPTIONS

Material options for style and durability


We offer a range of high-quality materials to ensure durability and style:

  • Steel: Ideal for strength and longevity.
  • Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, perfect for intricate or modern designs.
  • Combination Frames: Steel frames with aluminum panels or metal craft inserts for added flair.
  • Timber Options: Steel frames with tongue-and-groove timber, though we typically recommend alternatives to avoid warping over time.
For fencing, our options include timber, metal craft, or aluminum panels, allowing you to choose a material that aligns with your functional and aesthetic preferences. We can create any type of fencing including boundary fencing in styles and materials that complement your property’s overall look, with lengths ranging from 16 to 50 metres.

Innovative designs for unique properties


At GateXperts, we love a challenge and take pride in creating innovative designs that elevate your property. We specialise in incorporating sculptured designs directly into gate frames, making each piece unique. For a more personalised touch, we craft gates featuring distinctive panels, e.g. horse and jockey imagery, which are laser-cut and expertly welded or bolted into place. 

Whether you are wanting sliding, swing or cantilevered gates, we can design the ideal gate for your home or business.

We can also integrate gate automation systems and smart technology into your gate design. We offer installation of residential automatic gate systems and commercial automated security gates.
