Sliding gates, pedestrian gates and privacy fencing Melbourne
Gate services, privacy fencing and fence repair assessments across Melbourne.
Automatic sliding gates, pedestrian and double gates, cladding feature fencing, slat fencing, COLORBOND® and timber fencing for Melbourne properties.
Choose privacy, access and appearance together.
We install COLORBOND®, timber paling, slat and blade fencing, including sleepers, capping, extensions, repairs and removal of old fencing where quoted. The right option depends on the privacy required, property layout, street-facing design, ground levels and maintenance preference.
Gate solutions
Options include pedestrian gates, double gates and automatic sliding gates with suitable hardware. We measure access, discuss the opening direction and confirm site requirements before work begins.
Final pricing depends on length, height, ground conditions, access, demolition and the selected materials.

Request a feature-fence quoteAutomatic sliding-gate planning
Check the driveway, run-back space and adjoining fence before selecting a gate.
An automatic sliding gate needs more than an opening measurement. The quotation should reflect how the gate moves, where it sits when open, the driveway surface and slope, supporting posts, power availability and the way vehicles and pedestrians use the entrance.
Opening and run-back
Measure the clear driveway opening and show the unobstructed space beside it where the gate could slide. Include nearby walls, letterboxes, garden beds, pedestrian gates and services in the photos.
Ground and driveway
Show the driveway surface, slope and crossfall from both sides of the entrance. Existing concrete, paving, drainage, uneven ground and changes in level can affect the site-specific scope.
Power and operation
Tell us whether the gate is intended to be manual or automatic and whether power is available near the entrance. Motor, remotes, controls, safety items and any separately required electrical work must be identified in the written quotation rather than assumed.
Fence and daily access
Show the adjoining fence, existing posts, normal vehicle position and any separate pedestrian access. Planning the fence and gate together helps confirm post locations, finished levels and a practical opening layout.
What the written quotation should confirm
The quotation should identify the gate type, measured opening, material and finish, included posts and supports, manual or automatic operation, included hardware and controls, preparation, installation and any separate concrete, electrical, removal or access work.
Evergreen can assess suitable gate projects across northern Melbourne, including Preston, Reservoir, Epping, Wollert and Craigieburn, and within its established western Melbourne service area. Availability is confirmed for the individual site and scope.

Metal fence and gate repair assessments
A damaged fence or gate does not always need complete replacement. Depending on its condition, individual posts, rails, sheets, hinges, latches or gate hardware may be repairable. We assess movement, alignment, corrosion, ground conditions and the remaining fence before recommending a repair or replacement.
For a useful first assessment, send wide photos of the full fence or gate, close-ups of the damage, both sides where accessible, the ground and posts, plus your suburb and approximate measurements. For gates, also show the opening, clearance and any sliding track or motor.
Repairs are quoted for the confirmed site-specific scope. If replacement is the more practical option, we can compare suitable COLORBOND fencing, timber fencing, privacy fencing and gate choices.

Planning privacy fencing and gates
For a solid boundary screen, COLORBOND fencing is a practical low-maintenance option. Blade and slat fencing can suit front boundaries and gates where the spacing, height and profile are selected around privacy, visibility and street appeal.
Pedestrian gates
Measure the opening width between the fixed points where the gate posts or supports will sit. Also note the preferred height, finished ground level or slope, swing direction, nearby walls or fencing, and whether paving or concrete is already in place.
Double, driveway and sliding gates
For double or driveway gates, confirm the clear opening and where each leaf can swing without blocking vehicles or pedestrian access. Before quoting a sliding gate, the opening and available sliding space need to be measured. For an automatic gate, tell us whether power is already available and which motor features you want included.
Hardware and locking
Latch, lock, hinge and automation requirements are confirmed for the measured opening. Tell us if you need keyed access from both sides, a particular latch position or matching hardware so it can be included in the written scope rather than assumed.
Photos should show the complete entry, ground levels, proposed post locations, nearby fencing and site access. See the COLORBOND versus timber comparison when the gate will be installed with new boundary fencing.
For boundary fencing options, compare our Preston and northern Melbourne fencing, western Melbourne fencing and Strathtulloh COLORBOND project pages.
Completed Bentleigh project
Matching privacy fence and pedestrian gate.
This genuine project replaced an old timber fence and gate with Shale Grey COLORBOND fencing and a matching pedestrian gate. It shows how the boundary screen and everyday access point can be planned as one consistent finish.

How much does a 2.4m cladding feature fence cost?
Our 2.4m-high cladding feature fence guide rate is $360 per linear metre + GST ($396 including GST). It includes outdoor cladding with treated-timber rails and support posts, subject to final measurements and site conditions. Delivery and any site-specific extras are confirmed in the quotation.
Which fencing option provides the most privacy?
COLORBOND fencing uses solid panels and is a practical option when boundary privacy is the priority. Blade and slat fencing can also be planned for screening, but spacing, height and the selected profile affect visibility.
What measurements are needed for a pedestrian gate quote?
Send the suburb, opening width measured between fixed points, preferred gate height, clear photos, finished ground level or slope, preferred swing direction, post locations and your latch or lock preference.
What gate details should be confirmed before installation?
Confirm the clear opening, swing or sliding direction, posts and footings, ground clearance, finished paving or concrete, latch or lock choice, and power and motor requirements if automation is included.
What should I send for an automatic sliding-gate quote?
Send the suburb, approximate clear opening width, preferred gate height and photos from the street, inside the property and along the proposed sliding direction. Show the available run-back space, driveway slope and surface, existing posts or fencing, nearby obstacles, normal vehicle position and whether power is available.
Should I choose a sliding gate or a swing gate?
The suitable layout depends on the clear opening, side run-back space, swing clearance, driveway slope, nearby obstacles, pedestrian movement and normal vehicle position. These details should be assessed before the gate type and quotation are confirmed.
Can a pedestrian gate match a COLORBOND fence?
Yes. A COLORBOND pedestrian gate can be planned to match the fence colour and general finish, subject to the measured opening, posts, hardware and confirmed quotation.
Can a damaged metal fence or gate be repaired?
Some damaged posts, rails, sheets, hinges, latches and gate hardware may be repairable. Evergreen first checks the damage, movement, alignment, corrosion, ground conditions and the remaining fence before recommending repair or replacement.
What photos should I send for a fence repair assessment?
Send wide photos of the full fence or gate, close-ups of the damage, both sides where accessible, the ground and posts, plus your suburb and approximate measurements.
