Timber Gates Across Sydney
Timber Gates in Sydney covers pedestrian, side access and double driveway gates in treated pine and hardwood, built to order rather than bought off a rack. We have been building across Sydney since 2016, from the western suburbs through to the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Forest District.
A timber gate fails by dropping at the latch corner. We build on a properly braced frame with the diagonal running from the bottom hinge to the top latch, hang it on adjustable heavy-duty hinges, and post it on footings sized for the leaf weight — not the fence beside it.
Conditions change dramatically across Sydney, and so does the right specification — sandy coastal ground, reactive clay on the ridges, sandstone shelf on the harbour slopes and bushfire prone land against the national parks all lead to different answers for the same brief. The breakdown by region is below.

Sydney Conditions Change the Specification
Upper North Shore: Timber gates suit the Upper North Shore's period streetscapes, and a painted hardwood gate on rendered or timber posts is often the detail that makes a whole front fence read correctly.
Lower North Shore: Lower North Shore gates are frequently on a slope or a step, which changes the swing and the ground clearance — a gate that clears at the hinge and fouls at the latch is the classic result of ignoring that.
Northern Beaches: Gate hardware is the first thing salt attacks on the Beaches, so hinges, latches and drop bolts here are specified in stainless or heavily galvanised rather than the zinc-plated hardware that comes with most kits.
Forest District: On bushfire prone Forest District blocks we keep timber gates away from the asset protection zone and use them for internal and street-side access where combustibility is not a compliance issue.

Timber Gates Sydney FAQs
How much does timber gates cost in Sydney?
Timber Gates is quoted on the specifics of the site — material, height or wall face area, ground conditions and access. Because those vary so much across Sydney, we give a fixed written price after a free on-site measure rather than a per-metre figure over the phone.
Where in Sydney do you install timber gates?
Right across the metropolitan area, including the Upper and Lower North Shore, Northern Beaches, Forest District, Hills District, western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire and the Macarthur region.
Do I need council approval for timber gates?
It depends on the scale and the location. Standard work within exempt development criteria generally does not; extra height, front boundaries, retaining walls over the 600mm retaining wall exempt threshold, heritage items and bushfire prone land generally do. We identify the path before quoting.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — NSW contractor licensed and carrying $20 million in public liability cover on every job.
How long does timber gates take?
Most residential work is completed in one to a few days once materials are on site. Larger and engineered jobs are programmed with a clear timeline set out in the quote before work starts.
What affects the price of timber gates?
Four things, in roughly this order: the material and specification, the size or height, the ground conditions — rock, reactive clay and sand all change how footings are formed — and access, since material that has to be hand-carried costs more in labour than material delivered to the work. None of those four is visible from a photograph, which is why the quote follows a site measure and is then fixed in writing.
