Automatic Sliding Gates for Melbourne
Stay in your car and keep dry in winter and cool in summer with an automatic sliding gate. They are a very convenient option, especially given Melbourne’s unpredictable weather. Automatic sliding gates, also known as electric gates, are becoming increasingly popular for Melbourne home owners because they help reduce the space needed for vehicles to access a driveway.
We offer a variety of automatic gate brands, ensuring the system you choose suits your budget, home, and lifestyle. This even includes automated swing gates.
In addition to convenience, one of the most common reasons for installing automatic gates in Melbourne is to enhance security. Other reasons include privacy as well as adding value to your home.
Automatic sliding gates are usually fabricated using a 50mm x 50mm frame with the bottom rail 100mm x 50mm to incorporate the wheels. Gate posts are needed on either side of the automatic gate that suit both the style of the automatic sliding gate, as well as their size and weight.
BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC SLIDING GATES
Automatic gates are much more secure than traditional gates with a simple latch system. They are also ideal for homes located on busy Melbourne roads because they make it quicker to get in and out of driveways. Automatic sliding gates can also enhance the overall look and value of a home.
These gates are a great option for driveways with uneven ground, especially when it is impractical to use a hinged gate. This is one of the reasons why automatic sliding gates have become an extremely popular choice for homes in Melbourne.
Instead of the usual swing arc, an automatic sliding gate simply slides across the access point of the driveway. These gates are not connected directly to a gate post but are configured within a sliding frame.
This type of automatic sliding gates are most often used for vehicle access. However, some people use them for pedestrian access gates too.
TYPES OF AUTOMATIC SLIDING GATES
Aluminium Sliding Gates
Aluminium is a great material for lightweight automatic sliding gates that are durable, long-lasting, and low maintenance. It won’t rust, warp, or need repainting, making it a cost-effective option that adds a modern look to your Melbourne home.
Despite being lightweight, aluminium is strong, providing solid security. It’s also weather-resistant, handling Melbourne’s changing climate with ease.
An eco-friendly choice, aluminium is fully recyclable. It’s customisable too, with a range of styles and colours to match your home’s aesthetic. Plus, its lightweight design ensures smooth operation, reducing motor strain and extending the gate’s lifespan.
Steel Sliding Gates
If you are looking for strength and durability, a steel automatic sliding gate is the ideal solution. It is fire, termite, and pest-resistant, making it effective at deterring intruders, especially with security features like spikes or reinforced panels.
Steel gates provide longevity, even in Melbourne’s sometimes harsh weather. They also require minimal maintenance with the right rust-resistant coating. They can be customised in various styles and colours to match any home.
Additionally, steel is non-combustible, adding fire protection, and its dense structure helps reduce noise from outside, creating a quieter environment for your Melbourne home.
Colorbond Sliding Gates
Colorbond makes a stylish automatic sliding gate. It provides maximum privacy, as there are no spaces between the slats. This makes it a popular choice for Melbourne home owners looking for a stylish fence that provides maximum privacy.
Colorbond gates are also long lasting with minimal maintenance. Made from high quality steel, they are designed to withstand Melbourne’s harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and intense sunlight.
An added advantage is the wide range of colours available, allowing you to match your Colorbond automatic sliding gate to your fence, garage door or even roof.
