Electric Sliding Gates for Melbourne
Stay comfortable in any season—stay dry in winter and cool in summer—by using an electric sliding gate (also known as automatic gates) without ever leaving your car. These gates are an ideal choice for Melbourne’s unpredictable weather and are especially convenient for homeowners looking to save space for vehicle access in the driveway.
We provide a wide range of electric gate options, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your budget, home, and lifestyle. This selection also includes automated swing gates for added flexibility.
Beyond convenience, many Melbourne homeowners choose electric gates for increased security. Other benefits include enhanced privacy and the potential to add value to your property.
Electric sliding gates are most commonly fabricated using a 50mm x 50mm frame with the bottom rail 100mm x 50mm to incorporate the wheels. Gate posts are required on either side of the electric gate that suit both the style of the electric sliding gate, as well as their size and weight.
BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC SLIDING GATES
Electric 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. electric sliding gates can also enhance the overall look and value of a home.
Electric sliding gates are also ideal for driveways on uneven terrain, where a hinged gate may not be practical. This adaptability has made electric sliding gates a popular solution for Melbourne homeowners.
Instead of the usual swing arc, an electric 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 electric sliding gates are most often used for vehicle access. However, some people use them for pedestrian access gates too.
TYPES OF ELECTRIC SLIDING GATES

Aluminium is an excellent choice for lightweight electric sliding gates, offering durability, longevity, and minimal maintenance. Resistant to rust and warping, aluminium gates do not require repainting, making them a cost-effective option that provides a sleek, modern appearance for your Melbourne home.
Despite being lightweight, aluminium is strong, providing solid security. It’s also weather-resistant, handling Melbourne’s unpredictable weather 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 electric 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.
