Material choice has a major impact on both upfront cost and long-term maintenance spend.
$2,000 – $5,000
Best value for maximum strength and security. Moderate maintenance to manage rust.
$3,000 – $6,000
Higher upfront cost, but corrosion-resistant and near-zero maintenance – ideal for coastal properties.
$1,500 – $8,000
Lowest entry cost with treated pine; premium hardwoods cost more but last longer.
Standard sliding or swing gate, electromechanical motor and two remotes. Gate and motor typically $4,000–$6,000, plus $1,500–$2,500 installation.
Custom-designed gate, quality motor, audio intercom and photoelectric safety sensors.
Premium materials, video intercom with smartphone integration, and solar-powered automation for off-grid properties.
Budget $150–$300 per year for annual servicing, plus occasional remote or battery replacement.
Wider driveways and taller gates require more material and stronger hardware.
Steel, aluminium and timber each carry different material and fabrication costs.
Motors, intercoms, keypads and smartphone integration add to the base gate cost.
Sloped driveways, existing structures and power access can affect installation complexity and cost.
Custom patterns, laser-cut designs and decorative finishes increase fabrication time and cost.
Gates crossing public footpaths or in heritage zones may require additional consent work.
