Lightweight, rust-proof gates built for Auckland's coastal climate and modern homes
Aluminium gates are the top choice for Auckland properties near the coast or in exposed locations because the metal will not rust or corrode like steel. NZ Gates fabricates custom aluminium driveway, entrance and pedestrian gates, powder-coated in any colour, for homes and businesses across North Shore, West Auckland and beyond.
Ideal for coastal Auckland suburbs like North Shore, Devonport and Waiheke where salt air corrodes steel over time.
Puts less stress on hinges, motors and automation systems, extending the life of your gate.
Powder-coated in your choice of colour to match your home's exterior, from classic black to modern anthracite.
No painting, no rust treatment — an occasional wash is all that's needed to keep it looking new.
Its light weight makes aluminium a popular choice for automated sliding and swing gates.
From driveway gates to privacy screens, aluminium suits nearly every gate application across residential and commercial properties.
Sliding or swing driveway gates, ideal for automation with remote and keypad access.
