Custom Driveway Gate Solutions for Any Property Challenge
From steep driveways and tight turning spaces to matching custom architectural joinery, we fabricate heavy-duty aluminium gates tailored to your exact section.
Custom Engineering for Sloped & Irregular Driveways
Slopes & Uneven Gradient Adaptation
Standard off-the-shelf gates rarely fit New Zealand driveways cleanly. We custom-engineer bottom rails, rising hinges, and track contours so your gate operates smoothly without scraping ground levels or sacrificing security.
Cantilever & Tight-Space Solutions
For gravel driveways, steep entryways, or tight turning radiuses where standard sliding tracks won't work, we fabricate trackless cantilever and bi-fold systems tailored to your exact boundary dimensions.
100% Architectural Aluminium & Dulux Powder Coating
Heavy-Duty Structural Framing
We fabricate every gate in our Canterbury workshop using heavy-wall structural NZ aluminium. This delivers maximum strength without adding excessive weight that causes hinges to sag or motors to strain over time.
Seamless Joinery & Color MatchingFinished in your choice from the full Dulux powder-coat range, we match your gate perfectly to your existing roof, joinery, or home cladding while providing exceptional resistance against coastal weather.
Custom Styles: Louvres, Battens & Solid Privacy
Architectural Battens & Louvres
Sliding gates that are suspended above a driveway. They operate without ground tracks, supported by a cantilever system to the side of the entrance. Ideal for gravel, uneven or slopped entrances.
Solid Screening & Hybrid Infills
For high-security boundaries or maximum visual screening, choose solid aluminium sheeted panels or hybrid infill designs, all custom-cut and fabricated to your exact opening dimensions.
