Aluminium Garden Gates

A garden gate is the finishing touch of a boundary — the piece that ties the fence, the wall and the planting together. Our aluminium garden gates are made to order in the UK in the exact size your opening needs, finished in undercoat or powder coated in any RAL colour, and built from a metal that never rots and never rusts. Whether you are replacing a tired timber gate or completing a new garden design, ring 02089116000 for a free quotation — or keep reading for help choosing the right style and height.

Garden Gate Styles for Every Property

Because every gate we make is built to order, the full breadth of our design range is open to you at garden scale — from clean modern lines to full period character.

Slatted and Contemporary Garden Gates

Horizontal slats give a calm, grounded look that pairs beautifully with modern fencing and rendered walls, while vertical slats read taller and more classic. Choose open spacing to keep light and views flowing, or close boarding for full privacy from the street.

Arched and Ornate Garden Gates

Curved tops, spear finials and decorative scrollwork bring cottage-garden and period charm without the upkeep of iron. These traditional patterns are particularly striking at garden scale, framed by hedging or set into a brick wall.

Match Your Garden Gate to Your Driveway Gates

Every design in our aluminium driveway gates collection can be made as a garden gate, so your front entrance and garden boundary can share one consistent design language — the same pattern, the same colour, scaled to each opening. Many customers pair a garden gate with a matching aluminium side gate for the passage beside the house, and aluminium railings in the same design can carry the look along the whole frontage.

Privacy, Height and Planning Rules

How tall should a garden gate be? For a decorative boundary, gates around a metre high keep the garden open and welcoming. For privacy or to keep pets and children safely inside, taller gates with closer infill do the job. One thing worth knowing before you order: in most of the UK, a gate or fence next to a road generally needs planning permission if it stands over one metre tall, and over two metres elsewhere — and different rules can apply in conservation areas. We build to whatever height you specify, so it is worth a quick check with your local authority if your gate faces the street.

Why Aluminium Beats Timber in the Garden

Gardens are hard on gates. Timber sits against damp hedges and wet soil, swells in winter, drops in summer and demands re-staining year after year. Aluminium simply is not affected: moisture, plant contact and soil splash leave no mark on a metal that cannot corrode, and the gate that swung sweetly on day one keeps swinging the same way. Its light weight is kind to hinges and posts too — especially on gates opened many times a day.

Finishes and Colours for Garden Gates

Garden gates carry colour better than almost any other gate type. Anthracite grey and black remain the modern favourites, but this is where softer shades shine — sage green against planting, cream beside period brickwork, or a bold front-door colour repeated at the garden boundary. Take any RAL shade, or undercoat if you would rather paint on site.

Made to Measure for Your Opening

Garden openings come in every width, and walls and posts are rarely perfectly plumb. Send us your measurements and we will build the gate to suit the gap — with the pattern scaled correctly so the design looks right at your size, never stretched or squeezed from a stock template.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical size range for an aluminium garden gate?

Most aluminium garden gates are supplied between 900mm and 1200mm wide, and 900mm to 1800mm high, but as every gate is made to measure we can produce to your exact opening dimensions. Garden gates are generally lighter and narrower than driveway gates, which affects the frame depth and hinge specification we recommend.

Is aluminium a suitable material for a pedestrian garden gate?

Yes. Aluminium is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it a strong choice for outdoor use. For a pedestrian gate it offers a good balance of durability and lighter weight — a lighter leaf puts less strain on hinges and posts over time, which is particularly relevant for a gate opened and closed by hand on a daily basis.

What latch and lock options are available for a garden gate?

We can supply garden gates with a range of latch and lock options, including ring latches, sprung latches, and key-operated locks. The best choice depends on whether the gate is purely for access, needs to be securable from one side, or must be self-closing — for example where a gate separates a front path from a rear garden.

Can the gate be hung left or right-handed?

Yes, our aluminium garden gates can be hung on either side to suit your requirements. Let us know the direction you need the gate to open when ordering, or confirm it at drawing approval stage.

Can I use my existing gate posts?

This is often possible provided your existing posts meet the necessary requirements. Aluminium gates are lighter than steel equivalents, which can help, but the posts still need to be sound, correctly spaced, and capable of taking the hinge fixings. Contact us to check compatibility before ordering.

What finishes are available for aluminium garden gates?

Our aluminium gates are powder coated, with the standard finish being black. Any RAL colour is available on request, with matt black and anthracite grey being popular choices. Powder coating provides a clean, even finish that suits aluminium particularly well.

Are these gates suitable for coastal or exposed locations?

Yes, we offer gate options suitable for coastal and exposed locations. Aluminium's natural corrosion resistance makes it a sensible choice near salt air. Contact us to discuss your site so we can recommend the best design and construction for your conditions.

How do I maintain an aluminium garden gate?

Clean with a cloth or sponge and soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Lubricate hinges periodically to keep them working smoothly. Unlike steel, aluminium does not require a galvanised undercoat or any repainting of cut edges for corrosion reasons.

Does the gate come ready to install?

Yes, gates are delivered fully built and ready to install. We can also quote for a nationwide installation service if you would prefer not to fit the gate yourself.
