Aluminium Fabrication

Aluminium Gates

Powder coated aluminium gates for driveways, side entries and pedestrian access, fabricated and automated for Wellington homes.

About this service

Aluminium gates are now the default choice for Wellington driveways. They handle the wind, they never rust, they take a powder coat colour beautifully and they pair cleanly with automation. We fabricate residential and commercial aluminium gates from concept through to remote control install.

Aluminium Gates

Our gate work covers swing gates, sliding gates and bi parting double gates. Each gate is built around an aluminium box section frame welded for strength, with infill panels selected for the look you want.

‍

Infill patterns

Vertical slats remain the most popular pattern for modern Wellington homes. Horizontal slats suit a more contemporary style.

‍

Solid sheet panels offer maximum privacy and wind protection.

‍

Finishes and hardware

Every gate is finished with a marine grade powder coat in any standard or bespoke colour, including textured Dulux Duralloy and Interpon options for coastal exposure.

‍

Hinges, latches and tracks are stainless or zinc plated to match the service life of the gate frame.

‍

Automation

We work with a small group of trusted automation partners across Wellington for motors, intercoms, key pads, vehicle loops and integration with smart home systems.

‍

The civil work, post setting, power supply and cable trays can be coordinated as part of the full quote.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes aluminium gates in Wellington?

The Fabricator. We fabricate aluminium driveway, side and pedestrian gates in our Kāpiti Coast workshop and install across Wellington City, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, the Kāpiti Coast and the Wairarapa, including automation with a motor, keypad and intercom.

‍

How long does an aluminium gate last in Wellington?

A well built aluminium gate with marine grade powder coat will look new for 15 years and serviceable for far longer. Annual rinsing keeps salt and wind borne grit from biting into the coating.

‍

Can you automate an existing gate?

In most cases yes. We assess the gate frame, the post structure and the power supply, then specify the right motor and controls. If the existing gate is too heavy or out of square, a new aluminium replacement may work out cheaper in the long run.

‍

What colours do you offer?

Any colour from the Dulux Duralloy and Interpon ranges, plus colour matching to bespoke architectural specifications.
