A new gate that swings clear, latches first time and matches your fence
Whether you're securing a driveway, closing off side access or finishing a new fence line, the opening is rarely a standard size. Stock gates make no allowance for post positions, hinge clearance or the fall of the ground.
Force a gate into an opening it was never measured for and it will begin to drag, the latch will stop lining up, and the hinges and posts will take the strain until something gives.
Every Lifestyle Fences gate starts with a measure of the finished opening. For a free quote, get in touch.
Gates Overview:
Custom wooden gates measured, built and hung across Auckland and the North Shore, including garden, pedestrian, driveway and automated sliding gates.
- Pedestrian gates and garden gates matched to existing timber fencing
- Curved and arched tops, framed panels, trellis tops and lattice inserts
- Gate posts concreted deeper than fence posts to carry swing load
- Hardware specified to gate weight, with stainless fittings on coastal sites
- Automatic swing and sliding driveway gates wired by a qualified electrician
- Rehanging, servicing and hardware upgrades for wooden gates on the North Shore
Pedestrian gates, driveway gates and farm gates measured on site
Every job starts with an on-site measurement of the finished opening, covering post positions, hinge clearance, ground fall and the gate's swing direction. Sloping or uneven ground is therefore designed for from the outset, rather than corrected later with packers.
Whether it's a single pedestrian gate for side access, a pair of driveway gates or a timber farm gate taking daily vehicle traffic, each is built to the measured opening and can be matched to the profile, height and stain of your existing timber fencing.
Calls and quotes are free, and a site inspection can usually be arranged within a day or two.

Curved and arched tops, framed panels, trellis tops and lattice inserts can all be built to order. Our Wairau Valley machinery makes those one-off shapes possible, while indoor assembly keeps the frame square before the gate reaches site.

Automated sliding gates, wiring and ongoing hardware servicing
Automation is only as reliable as its gate, so frame and weight are matched to the motor beforehand. We supply and install automatic swing and sliding systems, with automation from specialist partners and a qualified electrician for wiring, power and cabling.
Sliding gates suit tight or sloping driveways, where a swinging leaf has no room.
Every gate is hung and aligned on site by our own team, so the maker stays responsible for the fit. Timber moves with the seasons, so any gate we've made can be serviced, rehung or upgraded, including older installations.
Yes. Gates are commonly matched to the profile, height and stain of existing timber fencing, and both are built from premium timber in our Wairau Valley workshop so the detailing lines up.
Curved and arched tops, framed panels, trellis tops and lattice inserts are all cut and assembled on our own workshop machinery. One-off and difficult designs are exactly where that machinery is used.
Automatic swing and sliding systems can be supplied and installed. The automation is sourced through specialist companies we work with, and a qualified electrician is brought in for wiring, power supply and cable runs.
