This project transformed the front presentation, security and functionality of an established Kensington home through the replacement of an ageing, rusted steel fence with a contemporary aluminium slat fencing and gate system.
The existing white-painted steel fencing had deteriorated significantly, with widespread corrosion, minimal privacy and a pedestrian gate that had become extremely heavy and close to failure. Our scope included dismantling and removing the remaining steel gates and fencing while carefully preserving the existing rendered masonry pillars and walls.
Custom aluminium slat panels in Satin White were cut and installed between the existing pillars, together with matching aluminium pedestrian gates. The primary front entrance pedestrian gate was fitted with a Lockwood double-sided keyed lock, which is ready for electrical wiring, making it able to be self-locking in the future. Self-closing hinges were fitted to ensure a secure automatic closing function works seamlessly upon entering the home. The secondary (pedestrian side entrance) gate incorporated a D&D Technologies double-sided keyed locking system, delivering secure and reliable access while maintaining a consistent architectural appearance.
The owners wanted to create a secure, private and welcoming frontage while preparing the property for future renovations aimed at maximising its long-term value. The new horizontal slat design provides substantially greater privacy without sacrificing airflow or the open character of the home, integrating seamlessly with the existing masonry and architectural detailing.
The completed project completely refreshed the home’s street appeal while providing the security and functionality the owners sought. The client’s feedback captured the outcome perfectly: “It’s really transformed the entire front of the property.” They later awarded FencrGatr a 5-star review, describing the installation as “Excellent workmanship, prompt and professional service.”
The project demonstrates how thoughtful design, precision fitting and quality installation can revitalise an ageing frontage while significantly enhancing both lifestyle and property value.
