24.01.2022 Another example of our custom aluminium slat fencing and gate solutions. Here the client wanted two simple sets of gates - one for the end of the driveway and one for the opposite side of the house. They wanted a neutral colour that didn't contrast with the house and so went with the off-white 'Surf Mist' colour. We also manufactured them a custom set of panels to enclose and hide the external airconditioning unit. The client was wrapped with the results.... .

21.01.2022 This client's existing gates at the side of their house offered next to no privacy and had never been installed correctly. They were misaligned making them almost impossible to close and latch securely. They also showed signs of rust which could indicate a problem with the original painting process they underwent. We removed them and installed a brand new custom aluminium slat gate solution. The new solution is lighter and easier to operate and yet is more robust and secure. The slats provide a greater degree of privacy than the original and are much more aesthetically pleasing.

17.01.2022 This client in Ainslie loves their old-school brick garage however the ravages of time meant it was looking somewhat worse for wear. While the brick structure was still sound, the roof structure was completely compromised. The original eaves had long since disintegrated and the wooden roof frame had suffered from earlier termite damage and sustained exposure to the elements. The old metal roof sheets were rusting and overall the roof was simply falling apart. Needless to say,... it was not watertight and therefore not providing adequate shelter to store anything. We demolished what was left of the old roof, rebuilt the internal roof frame using appropriate structural beams and installed a brand new custom roof comprising of fully insulated corrugated metal roofing panels. The garage's look was not changed significantly and it is now ready to face the elements for years to come. See more

15.01.2022 A small job in Kambah to upgrade the driveway and path for some elderly clients. Here we replaced the old ribbon-style driveway with a brand new full-width driveway that not only makes it easier to park but also gives them more space to get in and out of the car. To complement this we added a footpath wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair to connect the end of the driveway directly to the front door. We also replaced their old timber sleeper garden path, which was starting to present tripping hazards, with another new concrete footpath.

13.01.2022 Here is an example of how our custom aluminium slat fencing and gates can be incorporated into and enhance other construction materials. At this knockdown rebuild construction in Curtin, the builder engaged us to supply and install custom aluminium slat fencing panels to fit between the piers of the brick courtyard fence they had constructed. They also requested colour matched fencing to run perpendicular with the existing colorbond boundary fencing, and a panel and gate solution at the side of the house.

10.01.2022 Another happy customer taking advantage of our custom aluminium slat fencing and gate solutions. Here we have also highlighted the Latch, Hinges and Drop-bolts we typically supply with all our gate solutions. The Latch is a deluxe security gate latch which operates and locks from both sides of the gate eliminating the need for padlocks or chains. When supplying two gates we can provide the latches keyed alike so a single key will open both.... The Hinges used are heavy-duty and durable and have been specifically designed to resist rust, binding, sagging and staining. They can be tensioned upon install to ensure automatic closure without slamming closed. Both the Latch and Hinges are Australian made and owned products that come with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

05.01.2022 Here is another example of our custom aluminium slat fencing and gate solutions. This customer has created a small courtyard and vegetable garden at the front of their house and so wanted to screen the area off from the street and create more privacy. The solution delivered provides the privacy sought and unobtrusively integrates with the design of their home.

01.01.2022 Thanks to the on-going referrals and quote acceptances, we have had to close our books for this calendar year. We will still be providing quotes, however it may take us a few weeks to get back to you as we are frantically trying to work around this wet weather to finish as many jobs as possible between now and XMAS. Thank you to all our clients, sub-contractors and suppliers for your on-going support and referrals we do appreciate it.
