Bespoke Western Red Cedar Aluminium Security Fence And Gate

This bespoke front-boundary project was developed from a custom concept provided by the client, who wanted a secure, highly individual frontage that would create a usable yard for their dogs while also improving privacy, airflow and street presentation.

FencrGatr® attended site, measured the property, reviewed the client’s concept and worked through the practical design considerations before arranging custom fabrication. The final design used graduated horizontal slat spacing, with closer spacing through the lower section for privacy and pet security and more open spacing above to maintain airflow and visibility.

Western Red Cedar woodgrain aluminium was paired with Night Sky framing and posts to create a warm, contemporary finish. A matching pedestrian gate and integrated letterbox completed the design.

This was a genuinely bespoke solution created specifically for this property, rather than a standard catalogue-style fence, giving the client a distinctive frontage unlikely to be replicated elsewhere.

Products Used in the Project *

The project incorporated custom horizontal aluminium slat fencing, a matching pedestrian gate and integrated letterbox, with materials supplied and fabricated through Fencing Supply Centre.

Products and components included:

• Western Red Cedar woodgrain aluminium slats
• Night Sky powder-coated framing and structural posts
• Custom horizontal aluminium slat pedestrian gate
• Graduated slat spacing, with closer lower sections and more open upper sections
• Concealed fixing channels and matching covers
• Powder-coated steel posts, including 65mm x 65mm sections
• Custom gate framing and associated structural components
• Black/Night Sky gate hardware and hinges
• Integrated parcel/letterbox unit within the fence line
• Westbuild Kwikset concrete
• Matching caps, screws, fixings and installation hardware

The Western Red Cedar and Night Sky combination was a key part of the design, adding warmth to the traditional brick-and-tile home while maintaining a strong contemporary architectural finish.

Client Expectations and Feedback *

The client came to FencrGatr® with a clear design idea and asked whether we could bring it to life. Their main priority was to turn an open front yard into a secure space for their dogs while improving privacy and presentation without completely closing the property off from the street.

FencrGatr® worked closely with the client to refine the concept, recommend suitable spacing, colours and materials, and ensure the finished design could be made and installed accurately.

We also recommended removing the existing brick letterbox and integrating a new letterbox directly into the fence line to create a cleaner, more cohesive result.

The completed project delivered exactly what the client was seeking: a secure, functional and highly individual front boundary that combines privacy, airflow, visibility and bespoke design in one integrated solution.
