Aluminium Gates

Aluminium Gates — Buying Guide

Types of Aluminium Gates

Our aluminium gate range includes pool gates, pedestrian gates, double driveway gates and garden access gates. Aluminium gates are popular for pool enclosures and residential applications because they combine rust-free durability, lightweight handling and attractive powder coated finishes in a single product that requires virtually no ongoing maintenance.

Pool Gates — Compliance Essentials

• Self-closing — pool gates must self-close from any position without manual assistance; spring hinges or hydraulic closers achieve this
• Self-latching — gates must latch automatically when the gate closes, without requiring manual engagement
• Open away from the pool — pool gates must be configured to swing away from the pool area
• Compliant latch height — the latch must be positioned on the pool side of the gate at a height and location inaccessible to young children (typically 1500mm from ground level or behind a shroud)
• Minimum height — gate panels must meet the same minimum height requirements as the adjacent fence panels (minimum 1200mm)

Powder Coat Options

Our aluminium gates are available in a range of standard powder coat colours to match or complement your existing fencing. The most popular choices are matte black, white, Surfmist and Shale Grey. Custom colours may be available on request — contact us for details.

Gate Sizing and Configuration

Select a gate width to suit your access requirements — standard pedestrian pool gates are typically 900mm–1000mm wide. Double gates are available for wider access openings. Ensure the gate frame and infill style match the adjacent pool fence panels for a consistent appearance. Check that the hinge and latch hardware supplied with the gate is pool-compliant and correctly configured for the required opening direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do aluminium pool gates come with self-closing hinges?
Our pool-compliant gate ranges include self-closing spring hinges as standard. Confirm with individual product listings or contact us to verify compliance hardware is included.

Can I use an aluminium gate for a driveway?
Yes — our double gate configurations are suitable for driveway applications. Ensure the gate width, post spacing and ground clearance are appropriate for your driveway entry.

How do I maintain an aluminium gate?
Aluminium gates require virtually no maintenance. An occasional rinse with water to remove dirt and dust is generally sufficient. Check and adjust gate hardware (spring tension, latch engagement) annually to ensure continued pool compliance.
