What does a gate installation service include?
You can get help with anything to do with gates, from gate selection and installation to repair and maintenance. Most gate installers are experienced with a range of fencing types, and can choose a gate to match your existing fence, or help install a fence alongside your gate.
Here are some of the most common types of gates and what you can expect with each service:
Automatic gates
Need automatic gates or electric gates installed or repaired? These are a popular option for driveways, with everything securely locked away and you don’t even have to get out of your car to open or close it. Your technician will have experience with automatic gate openers, including how to set up access so that your gate can open smoothly via a buzzer, remote, keypad, or intercom. They’ll measure the area and recommend the best gate type to fit, with the most suitable opening methods (swinging or sliding). Your gate installer can order in your gate materials, before installing everything onsite and showing you how to operate your new gate.
Swinging gates
Swinging gates are the most popular gate type because they’re simple to operate, with your gate suspended on a hinge, and held in place with a latch. Your gate installer will help recommend a gate style that will fit with your existing fence and other features, whether you need timber gates, aluminium gates, or even glass. They’ll order in the materials and assemble your gate onsite, ensuring its level and properly secured at the hinges. Finally, they’ll attach a latch at the correct height for easy opening and closing - with the option to padlock your gate for added security.
Sliding gates
Sliding gates are ideal for homes with limited space on either side of the gate, or for larger gates along driveways, where a swinging gate isn’t practical. Your gate installer will begin by measuring the area and recommending some suitable sliding gates to fit. They’ll order in the materials and begin by installing your footings and metal tracks for the gate to roll on. Next, they’ll put in place posts for your gate. Then they’ll insert wheels into the bottom of your gate and slide it onto the track and lock it into place. Sliding gates do need regular maintenance to ensure they’re clean and well lubricated, and you may need to book sliding gate repair if your gate stops working smoothly or gets damaged.
Pool gates
If you have a pool, you’ll need at least one or two gates for safe access to your pool area. Your pool gate installer will help you select a gate that matches your pool fence, whether glass or aluminium. They’ll install your gate between fence posts, ensuring it meets the regulations for your local area. Common regulations include self-closing and self-latching, latches at a minimum height, and only outwards-opening. If your pool gate doesn’t open or close properly, you’ll need to book pool gate repairs as soon as possible to ensure your pool is safe and compliant.

15th Sep 2026
Looking for a pool fencing installer to replace a section of an existing Colorbond fence with frameless/semi-frameless glass pool fencing, including a pool-compliant gate to match our other pool fence. Scope: Existing Colorbond fence section to be removed: 1700mm W x 1800mm H Replace with glass pool fencing panel(s) across this width, to comply with AS1926.1 pool fencing standards (min. height 1200mm) Within this section, include a gate approx 800-900mm wide, self-closing and self-latching, with the latch release mechanism correctly positioned on the non-pool side per AS1926.1 Ground conditions: one side of the fence run is concreted, the other side is soil — will need appropriate footings/fixings for glass panel posts or spigots on both surface types Existing (non-glass) fence posts nearby are set in soil, for reference Access: Down the side of the house Timing: Flexible over next three weeks Open to quotes
Change colorbond Fence portion to gate
$750
Tullimbar NSW 2527, Australia
14th Sep 2026
Looking for an experienced fencer to convert a section of my Colorbond fence into a pool-compliant gate, plus fix a gap issue on a neighbouring panel. Time-sensitive — see timing note below. Job 1 – New pool-compliant gate: Current fence panel is 1700mm W x 1800mm H Need to convert a portion of this to a gate, approx 800-900mm W (remaining width to be filled in as fixed panel/infill) This gate provides access to a pool area, so it must meet Australian pool fencing/gate compliance (AS1926.1) — self-closing, self-latching, with the release mechanism positioned correctly on the non-pool side (happy for the tradesperson to confirm exact placement/height to ensure compliance) Ground conditions: one side of the gate opening is concreted, the other side is soil Existing fence posts are set in soil. Current fence colour is Monument, but the fence is about to be repainted Surfmist — if new panels/infill are needed for the gate section, please supply in Surfmist (or unpainted/primed if easier to match after painting — happy to discuss) Job 2 – Gap repair: Separate fence panel has approx 20mm gaps between the panel and posts on both sides This is a privacy issue and needs to be closed up/sealed to match the rest of the fence Access: Down the side of the house Timing: Flexible this week, but the fence is being professionally painted this Friday or Saturday, so ideally this work is completed before then — the sooner the better :)
