Automatic Gates & Fencing Melbourne Vic

 

We design, manufacture, and install high-quality gates and fencing solutions across Melbourne for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our focus is on durable workmanship, modern automation, and custom designs tailored to each property.

Automatic Driveway Gates

Automatic driveway gates are a popular choice in Melbourne for improved security, convenience, and street appeal. We supply and install a wide range of automated gate systems to suit different property types and access requirements.

We offer custom solutions in materials such as:

  • Aluminium
  • Timber
  • Wrought iron
  • Colorbond steel

Each gate is custom-built to suit your preferred size, style, and functionality—there are virtually no design limitations.

Sliding & Swing Gates

We install both sliding and swing gate systems depending on your site layout and needs.

Sliding gates are ideal for driveways with limited space or uneven ground. They glide horizontally along a track, making them a practical and modern solution.

Swing gates offer a more traditional, elegant appearance and suit properties that are looking for a classic or architectural style.

Materials & Finishes

All gates are finished with high-quality powder coating in standard colours such as black, white, and grey or customised to match your property.

Popular options include:

  • Aluminium gates (lightweight, rust-resistant, low maintenance)
  • Colorbond gates (strong privacy and modern appearance)

Custom Design & Installation

We specialise in fully custom gate systems designed to complement your existing fencing and property style. Our team ensures that we complete every installation efficiently and to a high standard.

We also provide automation for existing gates, including remote-controlled and electric gate systems.

1. Swing gates

These open like a door, either inward or outward, on hinges.

  • Common for homes and estates
  • Can be single or double-leaf
  • Best suited to flat or gently sloped driveways
  • Automations use linear arms or underground motors

2. Sliding gates

These slide sideways along a track or cantilever system.

  • Ideal for properties with limited driveway space
  • Often used in commercial and industrial sites
  • Good for wide entrances
  • Driven by a motor and rack-and-pinion system

3. Bi-folding gates

These fold in sections as they open.

  • Useful where space is very limited
  • Faster opening than swing gates
  • Common in modern residential and urban settings

4. Telescopic sliding gates

A variation of sliding gates where panels overlap as they open.

  • Saves even more lateral space than standard sliding gates
  • Often used in tight commercial entrances

5. Barrier gates (boom gates)

A horizontal arm lifts up and down.

  • Used for car parks, tolls, and access control points
  • Not for full perimeter security, but for vehicle flow control

6. Vertical lift gates

The gate lifts straight up.

  • Used where ground space is extremely limited
  • Common in high-security or industrial applications

7. Cantilever gates

A type of sliding gate that doesn’t require a ground track.

  • Great for uneven or dirty environments
  • Popular in industrial yards

8. Garage roller and sectional doors

Technically not “gates” in the fence sense, but often included in automation systems.

  • Roller doors coil upward
  • Sectional doors lift in panels overhead

 

1) Do I need power at the gate location?

Yes — in most installations, you need a power supply at or near the gate.

  • Most systems run on 240V mains power (Australian standard) stepped down to low voltage (often 24V DC) for the motor
  • A licensed electrician typically runs power from the house to the gate control box
  • Some setups can use:
    • Low-voltage cable runs
    • Solar + battery systems (useful if trenching power is difficult)

Without power, the motor itself can’t operate unless you choose a fully solar/battery system.

2) Can I open the gate from my phone?

Yes — most modern systems support smartphone control.

Common options include:

  • Wi-Fi or Ethernet-connected controllers
  • GSM/SIM modules (open via app or SMS)
  • Smart home integration (e.g., Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home)

Typically your phone sends a signal to a controller relay, which triggers the same “open” command as a remote.

So yes: if installed correctly, you can open/close it from anywhere.

3) How long does installation take?

It depends on site conditions, but typical timeframes are the following:

  • Simple residential install: 1–2 days (once power and posts are ready)
  • Full project (including concrete + electrical + automation): 3–10 days total spread over stages

The delay is usually not the motor installation — it's

  • Concrete footing curing (often a few days)
  • Electrical trenching and certification
  • Alignment and safety testing

A full end-to-end install is commonly about 1–2 weeks, including prep work

4) What happens in a power outage?

The answer depends on the system type:

✔ Battery backup systems (recommended):

  • Gate still works for multiple cycles during outage
  • Automatically switches to battery power

✔ Solar systems:

  • Keeps running as long as battery has charge

✔ No backup system:

  • Gate stops working electrically

In all cases:

  • There is almost always a manual release key
  • You can disengage the motor and open/close the gate by hand
