Pre-fabricated Site Gates<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Construction site access gates are a secure and cost-effective solution for building and construction site security. The functional design keeps the cost low while maintaining a high standard of protection, and will fit alongside timber or steel hoarding systems. All our site gates are galvanised in order to protect them from corrosion, and are available as kits (including mesh panels) for site assembly. The gates can also be clad with hoarding timber, meaning they can be deconstructed and re-used on multiple sites.<\/p>\n

Our site gate kits are supplied with gate posts, hinges, gates with drop bar, stretcher bars, welded mesh panels, clamp bars, and mesh Tek screws to fix bars or mesh to your gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to Select Your Gate Kit: A Step-by-Step Guide<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Selecting the right metal gate kit involves more than just picking a design you like. To ensure a smooth installation and a gate that lasts for decades, you need to get the technical details right from the start.<\/p>\n

Here is how to measure, specify, and equip your gate kit like a pro.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Measure the Opening: Gap vs. Leaf<\/h3>\n<\/div>
  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    The \u201cGap\u201d (Opening Width):<\/b> This is the distance between your two posts or brick pillars. This is the number most suppliers need.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    The \u201cGate Leaf\u201d Width:<\/b>\u00a0This is the actual width of the metal frame itself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    The Difference:<\/b>\u00a0You must account for hardware. A standard gate kit requires space for hinges (the \u201chang side\u201d) and the latch or lock (the \u201cclosing side\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>

    <\/h3>\n

    The most common mistake in gate ordering is confusing the total opening size with the actual gate size.<\/p>\n

    Pro Tip:<\/b> Always measure the gap at both the top and the bottom. Openings are rarely perfectly square, and you should base your order on the smallest measurement.<\/p>\n

    \n

    2. Choose Your Finish: Protection vs. Aesthetics<\/h3>\n

    Metal gates face constant exposure to the elements. Your choice of finish determines how much maintenance you\u2019ll do in the future.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Finish<\/strong><\/td>\nBest For<\/strong><\/td>\nMaintenance<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    Galvanized Only<\/td>\nDIYers who want to paint the gate a custom color.<\/td>\nHigh (requires specialist primer\/paint).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Powder-Coated<\/td>\nLongevity and a professional, “factory” look.<\/td>\nLow (very durable and UV resistant).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Hot-Dip Galv + Powder<\/td>\nCoastal areas or high-traffic commercial use.<\/td>\nLowest (the ultimate rust protection).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    3. Select Your Infill: Weight Matters<\/h3>\n

    The “infill” is what fills the frame (e.g., vertical bars, wood slats, or composite panels). The weight of your infill dictates the strength required for the rest of the kit.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    • <\/i><\/span>
      \n

      Heavy Infills (Solid Wood\/Steel):<\/b>\u00a0Require heavy-duty hinges and reinforced gate posts to prevent \u201cgate sag\u201d over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

    • <\/i><\/span>
      \n

      Light Infills (Aluminum\/Open Bars):<\/b>\u00a0Allow for slimmer profiles and easier manual operation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

    • <\/i><\/span>
      \n

      Wind Loading:<\/b>\u00a0If you choose a solid infill (no gaps), your gate will act like a sail. Ensure your kit includes hinges rated for high wind-load stress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>

      4. Hardware Check: The Finishing Touches<\/span><\/h3>\n

      A gate is only as good as its moving parts. Ensure your kit includes or is compatible with high-quality hardware:<\/p>\n<\/div>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Drop Bolts:<\/b> Essential for double gates to secure one leaf into the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Locinox Locks: <\/b>Industrial-grade locks that are specifically designed for outdoor metal frames\u2014standard indoor locks will seize up in the rain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Adjustable Hinges: <\/b>These are a lifesaver during installation, allowing you to level the gate even if your posts are slightly out of alignment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
