Double swing and sliding driveway gates for Greystanes, where generous frontages finally give a gate room to open properly.
Greystanes is a rewarding suburb for driveway gates because the blocks are generous. The brick homes built through the sixties and seventies sit on wide lots with real front setbacks, which means a double swing gate can open fully inside the property without fouling a garden bed or a parked car. That is a luxury we do not get in the tighter parts of Cumberland Council closer to Parramatta.
The ground is not uniformly flat, though. Streets rising toward Prospect Hill and the reservoir have a cross-fall across the driveway that will make one swing leaf bind before the other unless the hinges and ground clearance are set for it. We check the fall corner to corner across the opening, not just front to back, before deciding hinge type and gate height.
Colorbond infill remains the most requested finish here because it matches the side fences already on most Greystanes boundaries, though slat and picket styles are gaining ground on renovated frontages. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free on-site measure.
Wide Greystanes setbacks let both leaves open fully inside the boundary, which is the simplest and quietest gate arrangement there is.
Where the side boundary runs long and straight, a rack driven slider keeps the whole gate clear of the driveway and the street.
Steel frames with Colorbond infill colour matched to the side fences already standing on most Greystanes boundaries.
Hinge type, ground clearance and leaf height set from a corner-to-corner survey of the opening on sloping Greystanes streets.
Articulated arms for heavy leaves or underground motors for a clean look, both with beams and adjustable force limits.
The gate quoted together with the return fencing and a pedestrian gate, so colours, heights and post spacing all line up.
In most cases yes, and it is what we install here more than anywhere else. The wide front setbacks typical of Greystanes give both leaves room to open fully inside the property, which avoids the compromises we make on tighter blocks. Swing gates also have fewer moving parts than a slider, no ground track to keep clear, and they suit the traditional brick-home frontages found throughout the suburb.
It will if it is ignored. A cross-fall means one side of the opening sits lower than the other, so a gate set for even ground will drag on one leaf and leave a wide gap on the other. We measure all four corners of the opening, then either set the leaf heights independently, use rising hinges, or step the bottom rail so the gap under the gate stays consistent across the width.
It is the most popular approach in Greystanes because it makes the boundary read as one continuous line rather than a fence with a different object bolted into it. We match the Colorbond colour and run the infill in the same orientation. If you would rather the gate stand out as a feature, a slat or picket gate in a contrasting powder coat also works well against Colorbond returns.
Each leaf gets its own motor, either an articulated arm mounted on the post or an underground unit for a hidden finish. We run power and control cable in conduit, install photoelectric beams across the opening, program two remotes and set the travel limits and force on site. If the gate is heavy or the leaves are long we specify motors with headroom rather than the minimum rated unit.
