Side Gate Supply & Installation Melbourne
A well-designed side gate makes everyday access easier while closing off the side of your property to children, pets and unwanted visitors. It also completes the boundary between your front yard and backyard, giving the home a more finished appearance rather than leaving an open passage beside the house.

Side Gates We Fabricate & Install
Timber Side Gates Melbourne
Timber side gates suit properties wanting a side gate that matches an existing timber fence, with a warm, natural look that steel and aluminium can’t replicate. Our timber gates are built on a steel frame so they stay square and don’t sag the way an all-timber gate can.
Colorbond Side Gates Melbourne
Colorbond side gates are a low maintenance option that comes in a range of colours to match your existing Colorbond fencing, without the upkeep timber requires. They’re a popular choice for homeowners wanting the side gate to blend in rather than stand out.
Aluminium Side Gates Melbourne
Aluminium side gates are lightweight, won’t rust and are easy to operate by hand, which makes them a strong option for narrower side access where a heavier gate would be awkward to use. They also suit properties wanting a slimmer, more modern profile.
Steel Side Gates Melbourne
Steel side gates are the strongest option where security is the priority, hard to force and built to handle daily use without flexing on the hinges. They suit side access points doubling as a secondary entry point that needs to stay secure.

A Weak Side Gate Leaves the Whole Boundary Exposed
A side gate that sags, fails to latch or can be pushed open creates an easy escape route for children and pets while leaving the side of your home vulnerable. Undersized hinges and poor-quality hardware also wear quickly, turning a gate that should make access simple into something you have to lift, drag or force shut.

6 Benefits of a New Side Gate
Added Security
A locked side gate closes off the side access point that’s often the easiest way onto a property.
Keeps Kids & Pets In
A secure side gate stops kids and pets wandering out through the side of the property while you’re not watching.
Convenient Access
A wider side gate makes it easy to get the mower, bins or a trailer through without going the long way around.
Matches Your Fencing
Available in timber, Colorbond, aluminium or steel, a side gate can be finished to blend with your existing fence line.
Custom Width
Whether you need a narrow pedestrian gate or a wider vehicle width opening, the gate is sized to suit how you use it.
Everyday Peace of Mind
Knowing every access point around the property is secured, not just the front, means one less thing to think about.

Side Gates Melbourne FAQs
What's the difference between a pedestrian and vehicle width side gate?
A pedestrian width side gate is sized for foot traffic, typically around 900mm to a metre wide, and suits a garden path or a walkway between the house and the fence line. A vehicle width side gate is built wider, usually at least 2.4 metres, so a car, trailer or ride-on mower can fit through, and it’s a common choice for properties that need side access for more than just walking through.
If you’re not sure which width suits your property, call us on (03) 9034 6066 and we’ll assess your side access during a free onsite measure.
Can a side gate be lockable?
Yes, every side gate we build can be fitted with a lock, and for most homeowners this is one of the main reasons for replacing an old or damaged side gate in the first place. A lockable side gate closes off the gap between your front and back yard, which matters for security as well as keeping kids and pets contained within the property.
If your current side gate can’t be locked, call us to talk through your options for a secure replacement.
What material should I choose for a side gate?
It depends on what matters most to you: timber side gates suit properties wanting a warm, natural look that matches existing timber fencing, while metal side gates in steel or aluminium suit homeowners after strength or low maintenance. Colorbond is a popular middle ground, offering a low maintenance finish in a range of colours to match an existing Colorbond fence.
Wherever possible, we can match the gate material, colour and overall style to your existing fence so it looks like part of the original boundary rather than a later addition.
If you want your side gate to match your current fence, or advice for the best material for your new gate, call us to talk through the options.
How wide does a side gate need to be for a wheelie bin or mower?
Most wheelie bins and ride-on mowers fit through a gate around 900mm to 1.2 metres wide, though a wider bin store or larger mower may need more clearance. If you’re regularly moving equipment or bins through the side of the property, it’s worth sizing the gate a little wider than the minimum so you’re not squeezing through every time.
How much does a side gate cost?
The cost of a side gate depends on its width, the material and finish you choose, and whether you want a lock or automation included. A narrow pedestrian gate costs less than a wide vehicle width opening, and premium materials or finishes add to the price. Rather than estimate a figure that might not suit your property, we measure the site first so the quote reflects the actual job.
