Aluminium Driveway Gates
Our aluminium driveway gates are hand-built in the UK and made to measure for every driveway, from narrow cottage entrances to wide double-gate openings. Every design is available in undercoat or any RAL colour, and each gate is manufactured specifically for automation, making it a straightforward upgrade for anyone looking to add electric gate control down the line. Browse the full range below, or read on for guidance on choosing the right style, finish and configuration for your property.
Styles of Aluminium Driveway Gates
Whether your property calls for a traditional, ornate entrance or a clean contemporary statement, our aluminium driveway gates cover a wide range of design styles, all built to the same exacting standard.
Arched Aluminium Driveway Gates
Arched aluminium driveway gates bring a classical, elevated profile to period homes, stone-pillared entrances and traditional driveways. The curved top rail, often paired with spear or fleur-de-lis finials, gives the entrance a stately presence without the maintenance burden of wrought iron.
Contemporary Aluminium Driveway Gates
For newer builds and architecturally modern properties, our contemporary aluminium driveway gates favour clean lines, flat tops and minimal ornament. These designs let proportion and material finish do the visual work, complementing render, stone cladding and glass-fronted facades.
Horizontal Slat & Vertical Slat Aluminium Driveway Gates
Slatted designs suit properties looking for privacy alongside style. Our horizontal slat aluminium driveway gates create a strong linear rhythm well suited to modern cladding and timber-clad extensions, while vertical slat aluminium driveway gates give a taller, more architectural read — both available with partial or full-height coverage depending on how much privacy your entrance needs.
Ornate Aluminium Driveway Gates
Where a driveway calls for real decorative presence, our ornate aluminium driveway gates combine scrollwork, ring motifs and detailed finials for a heritage look that still benefits from aluminium’s low-maintenance, rust-proof construction.
Double Aluminium Driveway Gates
Every design in our range is available as double aluminium driveway gates, opening on a central meeting stile for wide vehicle access — the standard configuration for most UK driveways.
Why Choose Aluminium Driveway Gates
Naturally Rust-Proof
Unlike steel, aluminium does not require galvanising to resist corrosion. It’s naturally rust-proof, so the powder-coated finish stays the focus rather than a protective undercoat doing the structural work.
Lightweight and Automation-Ready
Aluminium’s low weight compared with steel or timber makes it a genuinely practical choice for anyone considering electric gate automation, either now or in the future — less load on motors and hinges over the gate’s lifetime.
Low Maintenance
With no rust to treat and a durable powder-coated finish, aluminium driveway gates need little more than an occasional wash to keep them looking as they did on day one.
Finishes and Colours
Every gate in this range is available in undercoat as standard, or powder-coated in any RAL colour to match your property, brickwork or existing exterior features. Popular finish choices include matt black, anthracite grey, and heritage tones such as sage green and cream for period properties.
Bespoke Aluminium Driveway Gates, Made to Measure
Every gate here is manufactured to order rather than supplied as a fixed-size stock item. Whichever style you choose, dimensions are built around your specific opening, so proportions — bar spacing, finial height, panel ratios — stay balanced regardless of your driveway’s width.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an aluminium corner sliding gate work?
Unlike a standard sliding gate that runs along a single straight track, a corner sliding gate is built in articulated sections joined by hinges. As the gate travels, each section negotiates the bend in the track, allowing the gate to follow an angled or curved boundary rather than stopping at the corner.
What's the difference between a corner sliding gate and a standard sliding gate?
A standard sliding gate requires a straight run equal to the full gate width. A corner sliding gate is designed to bend around an angle, so it can follow an L-shaped or curved boundary where a straight sliding gate would not physically fit.
What track setup does a corner sliding gate need at the bend?
The track follows the angle of the corner, with the gate's hinged sections travelling around the curve or radius of the bend. The bend needs to be engineered into the track layout, so the corner geometry is confirmed at the design stage before production.
Can an aluminium corner sliding gate be automated?
Yes, corner sliding gates can be automated with a suitable sliding motor kit. The motor and rack system need to account for the articulated gate's movement around the bend, so it's worth confirming your automation requirements at the ordering stage.
How much space does the gate need around the corner itself?
The space required depends on the angle of the corner and the number of articulated sections. The gate needs clearance for each section to swing around the bend as it travels, which is calculated from your site measurements before production.
What information do you need to quote an aluminium corner sliding gate?
We need the full length of the boundary run, the angle or radius of the corner, the desired gate height, and details of the available space either side of the opening. From that we can work out how many articulated sections the gate requires.
Are aluminium corner sliding gates made to measure?
Yes. Each corner sliding gate is manufactured in the UK to your exact dimensions and corner geometry, so it's not an off-the-shelf product. We produce a drawing for your approval before moving into production.
Can a corner sliding gate be installed on an existing track or posts?
This is often possible if your existing posts and track are structurally sound and compatible with the gate's weight and articulation. Contact us with details of your current setup so we can check compatibility.
Why choose aluminium for a corner sliding gate rather than steel?
Aluminium is lighter than steel, which reduces the load on the track and hinges — a useful factor when the gate is articulated around a bend. Aluminium is also naturally corrosion-resistant, making it a strong choice for outdoor use.
What finishes are available for aluminium corner sliding gates?
Aluminium corner sliding gates can be powder coated in any RAL colour, with matt black and anthracite grey among the most popular finishes. Standard finish is black, with other colours available on request.
