Aluminium Gates Melbourne

A well-built aluminium gate is one of the longest lasting gate options available, often outlasting timber and even some steel gates when it comes to resisting the weather. Aluminium doesn’t rust, warp or rot the way other materials can, and because the frame is welded rather than bolted together, there’s no loose joint to work its way apart over time. With hinges and hardware rated for the gate’s weight, a well-fitted aluminium gate holds its shape, colour and function for decades with very little upkeep beyond an occasional clean.

Yes, alongside gates we also supply and install aluminium fencing in matching styles, so your new gate ties in with the rest of your boundary rather than standing out as a mismatched addition. This is a popular option for homeowners doing a full front fence and gate upgrade at the same time, since we can design both elements together for a consistent look.

Yes, and this is often where a custom aluminium gate makes the biggest difference. Standard sizes don’t always suit older properties, sloping driveways, tight side access or non-standard openings, so we design and fabricate every gate around your exact measurements rather than trying to make your property fit a stock size. This also means spacing, height and style can be adjusted to match your existing fencing and solve any layout quirks specific to your block.

If your driveway or side access doesn’t fit a standard gate size that’s not an issue at all, call us to book a free onsite measure and quote.

The cost of an aluminium gate depends on a few factors: the size of the opening, the style you choose, the level of custom fabrication involved, and whether you want a manual or automatic gate. A straightforward pedestrian gate may be a couple hundred dollars supplied and installed while larger driveway gates and fully custom designs with automation cost can cost upwards of $8,000 or more due to the extra materials and labour involved. Rather than quote a figure that may not reflect your property, we prefer to measure the site first so the price you’re given actually matches the job. We offer 100% free on site measure and quotes so that way you know that the price we quote is the price you’ll pay with no additional surprise fees or hidden costs.

Aluminium is one of the best options for side and pedestrian gates because it’s stylish, low maintenance, lightweight, easy to operate by hand and won’t sag on its hinges the way heavier materials (like timber) can over time. It also suits narrower side access areas particularly well, since the frame can stay slim without losing structural strength, which matters on properties where space beside the house is limited. For households with kids or pets, the lighter weight also means the gate is easier for anyone to open and close securely. 

Yes, aluminium’s light weight makes it particularly well suited to automation, and many of the driveway gates we install are fitted as automatic aluminium sliding or swing gates rather than manual ones. Because the gate itself is lighter than steel or timber, the motor doesn’t have to work as hard, which means less wear on the automation system over time. If you’d like the full detail on motors, remotes and access options, our automatic gates page covers what’s available and how it works.
