Sliding Gates
Need a secure, space-saving entry solution? Sliding gates are the go-to choice for properties with limited space or sloped driveways. Unlike swing gates that need clear room to open inward or outward, sliding gates move horizontally along a track, making them perfect for tighter areas and steep gradients.
We design and install sliding gates in a range of styles — from sleek aluminium panels to custom-made designs that match your fencing. They're a great choice for driveways, carports and side access points, offering strong, smooth operation and excellent wind resistance. You can opt for manual or electric automation depending on your needs.
All components are installed with durability in mind, using weather-resistant hardware suited to Hervey Bay conditions. Whether you're after simplicity, security or smart design, we’ve got you covered. Chat with our team on

Swing
Swing gates bring a classic touch and a satisfying swing to every open and close. Built with strong hinges and balanced framing, they can be single or double-leaf, depending on how much space you need. They’re ideal for driveways, front entries or rural properties where there’s room to move.
From heavy-duty Colorbond panels to lightweight aluminium or timber styles, swing gates can be built to match the fencing or become a standout feature on their own. Need more privacy? Go for a solid panel. Want a breezier look? Slatted or spaced designs let the light through without losing security.
Manual or motorised, they can be fitted with keypads, remote openers or smart systems. And because swing gates open inward or outward, we’ll help you choose the right setup to suit slopes, surfaces and traffic flow.
They’re not just about first impressions—though they certainly make one. These gates need to hold up under daily use, strong weather and the odd nudge from a wheelie bin. We build them to take all that in stride. No sticking, sagging or misaligned latches. Just a smooth swing that says quality, every time you pull in.
Pedestrian
Pedestrian gates might be smaller, but they do a big job. They’re the part of your fence you’ll use most—quick access for the school run, a backyard check, or guests coming through. That’s why they need to be sturdy, smooth to open and secure when closed.
Whether swinging or sliding, pedestrian gates can be designed to match your main fence or stand out with their own style. Timber adds warmth. Aluminium gives a sharp, modern finish. Colorbond offers privacy and clean lines. We can fit locks, latches or automated entry depending on how you use your space.
They’re ideal for side access, courtyard entries or garden walkways. And because they’re made for foot traffic, they can be scaled to fit tight spots or wide walk-throughs. It’s not just about looks—it’s about everyday use. That handle, latch or post placement matters when it’s something you’ll use ten times a day.
Every gate is measured and made to suit the space, the usage and the look you’re going for. You won’t get a wobbly panel or sagging hinge. You’ll get a gate that works like it should, every single time.
What’s the difference between swing gates and sliding gates?
The main difference lies in how each gate opens. Swing gates open inward or outward on hinges, like a door, and are ideal for flat, open spaces with plenty of room around the entry point. Sliding gates, on the other hand, move sideways along a track and are perfect for driveways with limited space or sloped access. Sliding gates also tend to offer better wind resistance, as they remain close to the ground and have fewer moving parts exposed. If you have tight side clearance or an uneven driveway, a sliding gate is usually the better choice. Swing gates are often chosen for their classic appearance and simple mechanism. Your site layout, space availability and budget will determine which type is best.
Can manual gates be automated?
Yes, many manual gates can be retrofitted with automation, depending on their condition, structure and materials. Swing and sliding gates can both be upgraded with motors and access systems, such as remotes, keypads or intercoms. However, the gate must be structurally sound and properly installed to support the additional weight and movement of an electric motor. In some cases, reinforcing the gate or posts may be required. It's also important to ensure there's access to power near the gate location, though solar-powered automation is an option for more remote or off-grid properties. A professional inspection can confirm whether your gate is suitable for automation and what system will work best.
Will my electric gate still work during a power outage?
Yes — most electric gate systems are designed with manual override options for safety and reliability. In the event of a power outage, you can disengage the motor using a key or release mechanism and open the gate manually. This feature is especially important for emergency access or if your property relies on regular gate use. Some systems can also be paired with battery backup units or solar power, allowing limited automatic function during outages. If your area experiences frequent blackouts or storms (as can happen in coastal Queensland), it’s worth considering these options when installing your electric gate system.
