Gate styles
Gate styles and automation options we fabricate for.
Every driveway and commercial access point has different constraints, including available space, gradients, wind exposure and access requirements. Westforge fabricates gates to suit the site and can incorporate automation options appropriate to the gate design and intended use.
Sliding gates
Suited to properties where a sliding configuration is practical. Gate frames, tracks and structural components are fabricated to suit the site and, where automation is wanted, the selected system.
Single & double swing gates
Custom swing gate designs for residential and commercial applications, fabricated with appropriate hinges, frames and clearances for reliable operation.
Pedestrian & access gates
Matching pedestrian gates, side access gates and infill panels fabricated to suit the main gate design and the opening.
Automation options
Where a customer wants an automated gate, automation and access arrangements are selected to suit the site and gate design, and confirmed in writing before fabrication.
Aluminium slat gates & fencing
Aluminium slat gates with matching slat fencing.
Aluminium slat gates suit a contemporary look, with slat size and spacing chosen for the level of privacy wanted. They are custom fabricated and powder coated, and can be matched with aluminium slat fencing or fabricated panels so the gate and fence read as one.
Sliding & swing slat gates
Custom aluminium slat gates for driveways, sized to the opening, with automation options for suitable gates.
Pedestrian slat gates
Matching pedestrian and side gates integrated with the fence line.
Aluminium slat fencing
Slat fence panels and custom fabricated fencing made to match the gate.
Powder coated finish
Gates and fencing powder coated together in the chosen colour for a consistent finish.
How it works
The process, step by step.
Discuss the opening
We talk through the opening, style, level changes and how the gate needs to work day to day.
Measure / scope
Measurements and a practical design suited to the gate size, weight and site conditions.
Fabricate
Gate, frame, infill and hardware fabricated in the workshop.
Prepare & finish
Blasting or preparation, then powder coating or protective coating in the chosen colour.
Complete / install
The gate is hung or set up and checked for smooth manual operation. Where automation has been requested for a suitable gate, operator and control equipment can also be incorporated.
Practical considerations
Worth knowing before you enquire.
- Gate style, span and weight drive the frame design and hardware selection.
- Coastal properties benefit from a finishing system chosen for salt exposure.
- Photographs of the opening with rough measurements are enough to begin a quote.
- Existing gates can often be repaired or refinished rather than replaced.
- Automation is optional. Where it is wanted, gate weight, slope, opening width and available power are assessed separately.
Frequently asked
Common questions.
Which gates suit rural, residential and commercial properties?+
Residential properties usually choose sliding, swing or pedestrian gates to match the driveway and fence line. Rural properties may need wider swing or sliding gates for vehicle and machinery access. Commercial sites often need heavier-duty sliding or swing gates fabricated for frequent use. Each gate is fabricated to suit the opening and site, with manual operation or automation options for suitable gates.
What affects the cost of a custom gate?+
The opening size, gate style, material, finish, whether automation is included, and site and installation requirements. We don't publish set prices — send the opening size and photos for a quote.
Do you make sliding and swing gates?+
Yes. Sliding gates and single or double swing gates are fabricated to suit the opening, then finished in the workshop.
Do you make custom slat gates?+
Yes. Horizontal slat gates are made in steel or suitable aluminium slat-style systems, sized and spaced to suit the property.
Can you powder coat the gate?+
Yes. Gates are prepared and powder coated in-house, or given a protective coating system where the environment calls for it.

No. Automation is never required. Westforge fabricates manual and automated gate systems, and automation can be included where it suits the gate, the site and the customer requirement.
Can you repair or refurbish an existing gate?+

Can Westforge automate the gate as well?+
