Installing a gate that matches the style of your fence is important as it creates a consistent, professional look. It’s easiest to install your new gate at the same time you install your fence. However, it’s very common to remove a small section to make room for a gate if you have a pre-existing fence. If you do decide to go down this route, it’s important to find a fencing contractor who can supply and install a custom gate that is made in the same colour and style as your current fence.
Installing a New Fence With a Matching Gate
Installing a matching fence gate while installing your new fence is a great idea, as it saves time and additional work later down the line. It also means you’ll end up with a result that looks smooth and cohesive, with all components matching up, such as the materials, their colour, and their style. When planning where your gate will go, it’s important to consider the length of each of the fence panels and where they will sit to ensure that the alignment between the gate and fence panels matches up.
Some fencing styles, such as Colorbond, come in steel panels that can easily be converted into a custom gate. Other styles, such as batten fencing (pictured below), require a more personalised approach where the custom gate needs to be built to specification, as each aluminium batten comes separately. Our specialist team of fencing contractors can design and fabricate the perfect custom gate to match your new fence.
Installing a Gate That Matches Your Pre-Existing Fence
Removing a section of your pre-existing fence to install a gate is great for creating an accessway. However, maintaining a consistent style is important to achieve a clean, professional look. Gates and fences come in a range of styles, such as Colorbond, batten, and garrison. Each fence and gate style also comes in a variety of profiles. For example, Colorbond fencing is available in traditional pressed panels or balanced panels, where each panel type features a different corrugation pattern. Similarly, garrison fencing is available in a variety of styles with different tops, such as spear tops, loop tops, and ring tops. There are also several types of spear designs that are available for a garrison fence.
