Description

These aluminium bi-fold driveway gates bring a bold, contemporary edge to any entrance, folding back neatly against the boundary walls to open up a wide, unobstructed driveway. Finished in a deep anthracite grey with continuous horizontal louvre slats, they combine strong privacy screening with a clean, architectural look, and are shown here fitted with automated opening gear on both leaves.

Louvre Panel Design

The standout feature of these aluminium bi-fold driveway gates is the full-height run of horizontal louvre slats across every panel, creating a solid, uniform surface that shields the driveway from view while still allowing light and air to pass through the angled gaps.

Folding Panel Layout

  • Each side splits into two hinged panels that fold back concertina-style
  • Slim vertical box-section framing holds the louvre slats securely in place
  • Continuous slat pattern runs edge to edge for a tidy, symmetrical finish

Finish and Build of the Gate

Built from powder coated aluminium, these gates present a smooth matte anthracite surface that suits both modern render and traditional brick or stone frontages, as seen against the pitched terracotta roof and rendered walls in the photo.

  • Dark anthracite grey powder coated finish throughout
  • Rigid box-section stiles and rails supporting the louvre infill
  • Robust hinge points designed for the folding action of each panel

Automated Bi-Fold Operation

Visible motor units are fitted at the base of each gate post, allowing these aluminium bi-fold driveway gates to open and close automatically without manual pushing or pulling on the panels.

  • Ground-mounted motor housings positioned discreetly at each side
  • Folding mechanism allows a full-width opening without a deep swing arc
  • Suited to driveways where space behind the gate line is limited

Suited to Wide or Restricted Driveways

Because each side folds rather than swings outward, these bi-fold driveway gates are a practical choice for entrances set close to a road, path, or parked vehicles, as illustrated by the tight paved approach shown in the image.

  • Folding action keeps the opening clear without a wide swing radius
  • Stone pillar and low wall mounting shown either side of the gate
  • Full privacy louvres screen the driveway and property beyond
