Gates in Perth
Custom Gates Made to Measure
A gate does two jobs. It controls who and what comes onto the property, and it sets the tone at the front of the block. AF FENCING installs gates in Perth across both custom-made pedestrian, swing and sliding gates matched to the fence, plus full automation where a driveway gets daily use. Gate styles include Colorbond®, aluminium slat, tubular, garrison steel and framed mesh, sized to the opening. Automation runs from single-swing openers on standard side gates through to heavy-duty sliding gate motors with remote, keypad and intercom access at the driveway. Gates tie into the fence line, so we usually quote them alongside Colorbond® fencing, aluminium slat fencing or a garrison front boundary so the finish matches from post to post.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes. Automation can be retrofitted where the existing gate frame, hinges and posts are structurally suited to the load and travel of a motor. If the existing gate is undersized, sagging or hung from timber posts that will not hold, it is usually more reliable to replace the gate and motor together rather than force automation onto hardware that will fail.

Gate Automation
Automation turns a driveway gate into a seamless entryway rather than an annoyance that forces you out of the car every time. We size the motor to the weight, width and travel of the gate, because an underpowered opener on a heavy sliding gate wears out fast. Swing gates run on articulated arm or ram-style openers. Sliding and cantilever gates use a rack-driven motor set on a concrete plinth beside the opening. Both are fitted with safety sensors that stop the gate if something crosses its path, plus a manual release so you can move the gate by hand in a power outage. Access options include handheld remotes, a keypad on a pedestal, intercom entry and battery backup where the power supply is unreliable. Cable runs and the position of the power feed are worked out at quote stage, so a licensed electrician is scheduled as part of the install rather than chased afterwards.
