Description
These solid privacy aluminium driveway gates offer complete visual enclosure across the full opening. Tall vertical slats run edge to edge across both leaves, with just enough definition between each plank to give shadow-line interest without breaking the sense of a single unbroken panel.
The straight top rail sits flush across both gates with no finials, curves or decorative elements — the design relies entirely on proportion and surface texture, keeping it firmly contemporary. There is no openwork section at any point, making this a strong choice for properties where privacy from the road or footpath is the priority.
As a double-leaf swing gate, it opens centrally with a slim, understated handle and a low-profile meeting stile. A dark matt powder coat wraps every slat and the frame, presenting as a single continuous surface when the gate is closed and sitting comfortably against brick, stone or rendered pillars.
Made to your exact opening dimensions, with slat width and count recalculated per order so the vertical rhythm reads consistently regardless of gate size.
Because the design relies entirely on proportion and surface texture rather than any decorative element, each order needs the slat width and count recalculated to suit the specific opening — a stock-width slat scaled up to a wider gate would look visually thin, while the same slat scaled down would look chunky and overpowering. That per-order attention is what keeps the finished piece looking intentional. The style is at its strongest on properties directly fronting a busy road or public footpath, where full privacy at pedestrian eye level is the priority rather than a preference. Against warm brick pillars the dark frame reads as grounded and secure; against pale render it reads sharper and more architectural. Compared with slat gates that include a narrow open band at the top, this design commits fully to privacy rather than compromising for a lighter feel.
