Which Accessories You Need to Match Your Aluminium Gates, Screens & Fences

Add the finishing touches to your new gate with a wide range of accessories, such as drop bolts and lock & latch sets for added security, heavy-duty hinges for extra durability, or base plates and corner stakes for a streamlined finish to your newly installed gate. Building a gate or a patio is a relatively simple project that you should be able to complete in a single weekend. But before you begin your project, it is important to choose the right materials that will fit your vision. Among the most important things you need to consider are your gate or patio accessories. Using suitable and durable accessories will guarantee that your gate or patio will remain strong through changes in its environment, last the test of time, and not wear down with use. Beyond that, the right accessories will help increase your safety and add to the value of your property.

Our aluminium products can be used for driveways, main entrances, side entrances, gardens, and pedestrian barriers. They are about 3 times lighter than steel and iron, but still very strong and sturdy. They are also long-lasting and easy to repair, and their joints are more likely to perform better in the long run. Although not as strong as steel, the powder coating of our aluminium products provide anti-corrosion properties. This keeps them looking clean and protects them from harsh weather, especially in the winter. They do not warp or rot easily like wood so you can expect them to have a longer life.

Important Accessories to Purchase

Aluminium Gate Hinges

Among the most essential fence gate accessories are aluminium gate hinges. If you are installing aluminium fencing in a high-traffic location, you should choose high-quality aluminium gate hinges that will not easily rust or break, especially if your gate will be used frequently.

Gate drop bolts 

To keep your property secure, a gate drop bolt will come in handy. Place them into a strong foundation, such as a hole in the concrete or a pipe that lies in the ground to ensure that your gate remains closed and secure. You may also safeguard your gates further by attaching a padlock to each gate drop bolt.

Internal post bracket

Internal post brackets are used to secure 50/50 posts to concrete or wood. They are designed to fit internally so that they will be hidden after installation.

Post Base Plate

 

This base plate assembly fits the bottom of aluminium posts, allowing them to be mounted on top of a deck or other surface. They convey structure stresses to the concrete footing surface and connect the column’s bottom end to the footing.

Corner Stake

Heavy-duty corner stakes are used in conjunction with 50 x 50 posts to connect corners while also forming a gate frame.

End caps

Plastic end caps are designed for protecting, masking, finishing, and maximising the utility of fuel lines, pipes, holes in metal sheets, hydraulic hose fittings, and other vital parts. They push or thread against the outside of a part of the surface metallic structures like aluminium.
