Custom driveway gates
Driveway gates made for your home
A driveway gate is usually the largest single feature at the front of a house, so it needs to look right as well as work every day. Gateworld designs, builds and installs custom driveway gates across Perth, sized to your opening and finished to match your home and fencing.
We build sliding and swing driveway gates in powder-coated aluminium and steel, in slat, batten, blade and picket styles or timber-look finishes. Any gate can be automated when it is installed, or built ready for a motor so you can add one later.
- Sliding or swing
- Manual or automatic
- Matching fence and pedestrian gate
- Any powder-coat colour
Styles
Driveway gate designs we build
Choose the spacing between slats for more or less privacy, and any powder-coat colour to suit your home.
Slat and batten
Horizontal slats and vertical battens give privacy while still letting light and air through. Our most popular style.
Vertical blade
Slim vertical blades with a clean, architectural line that suits modern homes.
Picket
Aluminium pickets give the classic look of a character home without the painting.
Timber-look
Woodgrain powder coat gives the warmth of timber without oiling, warping or rot.
Sliding or swing
Which suits your driveway?
A sliding gate runs across the driveway on a track and needs clear space beside the opening to slide back into. It is the best option for sloped driveways and narrow frontages, and it takes up no space inside the property when open.
A swing gate opens on hinges, inwards or outwards, and suits level driveways with enough room for the gates to swing. Double swing gates suit wide openings and give a more formal entrance.
If you are not sure which will work, we will look at the slope, the space and how you use the driveway at the free on-site quote and recommend the best fit.
Tip: matching your driveway gate to your front fence gives the whole frontage a finished look. We can build the fence, the driveway gate and a pedestrian gate in the same design and colour so everything lines up.
Manual or automatic
Automate now or later
Most of the driveway gates we build are automated, so you can open them from the car with a remote. Every automated gate comes with safety beams and a battery backup, and you can add a keypad, an intercom or app control.
If you would prefer a manual gate for now, we fit the hardware so a motor can be added later. Find out more about electric gates or adding a motor to an existing gate.

FAQs
Driveway gate questions
Can’t find what you need? Call Daryl on 0435 817 147.
Are quotes free?
Yes. We come to your property, measure up and talk through the options with you, then send you a quote. There is no charge for the visit.
How long does it take?
We aim to have a new gate installed around six weeks from when you place your order. The installation itself usually takes a few days, depending on the size of the job. We give you a timeline with your quote.
What are your gates made from?
Our gates are made from marine grade aluminium that is pretreated and then powder-coated in your choice of colour. We also work with steel where a job calls for it.
Can I choose my own design?
Yes. Every gate is made to measure, and you choose the style, the spacing and the colour. We can match an existing fence, or build the fence and gate together so they line up.
Can I automate my driveway gate later?
Yes. If you choose a manual gate now, we build it with the right track or hinges and leave room for a motor, so it can be automated later without replacing the gate.
Can my driveway gate match my fence?
Yes. We build driveway gates, pedestrian gates and fencing in the same style and colour, so the whole frontage matches.
Do I need council approval?
Most gates do not need council approval. Some walls and fences do, depending on their height and where they sit on the block, so it is worth checking with your local council. If approval is needed, we can supply the details and specifications for your application.
Do your gates come with a warranty?
Yes. Our gates come with a warranty on the materials and on the automation system. The terms depend on the gate and motor you choose, and we go through them with you at the quote.
What are your payment terms?
We take a deposit to start the job, and the balance is due when the installation is finished.
