Mesh Fence Gates for Diamond Mesh and Wire Fences

Gate fencing is where a fence gets the most use, so the gate and its posts need to be stronger than the rest of the line.

Types of mesh fence gates

A diamond mesh fence gate is made from a welded galvanised or painted tube frame with mesh fixed inside it, often with a centre brace so it does not sag. Common types are:

  • Pedestrian gates, usually about 1 m wide, for people and wheelbarrows
  • Double swing gates, about 3 m to 4 m wide, for cars, tractors and trucks
  • Sliding mesh gates where there is no room for a gate to swing
  • Gates in the same height and colour as the fence, galvanised or PVC-coated

Fencing gates prices

Fencing gates prices depend mostly on width and height, the size of the frame tubing, the mesh infill and the finish. Hinges, drop bolts, padlock brackets and gate stops add to the cost, and so do heavier gate posts, which must be set deep in concrete to carry the weight. A gate that sags is nearly always caused by a weak or shallow post. If you may want an electric motor later, say so, because a sliding gate or a heavier frame may suit better.

Fencing gates for sale or made to measure

Many suppliers keep fencing gates for sale in standard widths, which is quicker and cheaper for a new fence. For an existing opening, an uneven driveway or a non-standard height, a made-to-measure gate fits better. When searching for fencing and gates near me, it helps to get the fence and gates quoted together by one contractor, so the posts, heights and finish all match. Ask for the gate frame size and fittings to be listed in the quote, so you can compare like with like.

How to compare mesh fence gates quotes

The cheapest price per metre is not always the best value in fencing. When your mesh fence gates quote arrives, check:

  • Materials: the wire or steel thickness, the type of galvanising or coating, and the pole size and spacing. Thinner material looks the same on day one but fails sooner.
  • Foundations: how deep the poles are set and whether they are concreted. Most fence failures start at the posts.
  • What is included: gates, locks, corner stays, removal of an old fence, site clearing and rubble removal.
  • Guarantee and timing: workmanship guarantees, the expected start date and how long installation will take.

Our service passes your request to a contractor who works in your area, so you can ask these questions before you commit. It costs nothing and you are under no obligation to accept the quote.

Request a mesh fence gates quote

To get an accurate quote quickly, include:

  • How many gates you need and the width of each opening
  • The fence height and finish the gates must match
  • Swing or sliding, and which way a swing gate should open
  • Whether you may add a gate motor later
  • Whether new gate posts are needed

Photos or a rough sketch of the boundary help too. Mention them in the details and the contractor will ask for them.

Frequently asked questions

Can a gate be added to my existing mesh fence?

Yes. The installer cuts the mesh, sets new gate posts in concrete with stays, ties the mesh off neatly on each side and hangs the gate. Give the opening width and fence height in your quote request.

How wide should a driveway gate be?

A width of about 3 m suits most cars. For bakkies with trailers, tractors or trucks, 4 m or wider is easier to drive through. Double gates spread the weight over two posts.
