Matched Colorbond gates with heavy-duty hardware.
Matched to your fence
Colorbond gates are built on a galvanised steel frame and sheeted in the same Colorbond profile and colour as your fence, so the run reads as one continuous line rather than a gate bolted into it.
Because the sheet is fixed to a welded frame, the gate is far stiffer than the fence panels either side and holds its shape over years of use.
Single, double or sliding
Single swing suits pedestrian access and narrow side gates. Double swing covers driveways up to about 4.5 metres and is the cheaper driveway option where you have room to swing.
Sliding is the answer on short driveways, on a slope, or where a swinging leaf would foul a car parked close to the boundary. It needs a level track run alongside the opening.
Much of Melbourne sits on reactive clay. Clay swells in winter and shrinks through summer, which works fence footings loose over the years. It is the single biggest reason posts lean here, and why we set footings deeper than the bare minimum.
Most Melbourne councils allow a boundary fence up to 2.0 metres between neighbours without a planning permit, with lower limits on street frontages. Heritage overlays across the inner suburbs add extra rules, so check with your council before going tall at the front.
Hot dry summers and wet winters are hard on timber. Expect to re-stain a paling fence every three to five years, and expect the north and west facing runs to weather first.
Housing ranges from period terraces and weatherboards in the inner suburbs to newer estates further out. Timber paling and Colorbond dominate back boundaries, while aluminium slat and blade fencing is the common choice on modern front boundaries.
Can I have it lockable? Yes, all gates come with a lockable drop bolt or padlock-ready latch.
