Looking for a fabricator who gets the brief first time and delivers clean, durable results? That’s exactly what we do. We specialise in aluminium fabrication Melbourne property owners rely on for modern fences, gates and bespoke architectural details that look great and last. If you’re comparing options for aluminium fabrication in Melbourne, here’s how we design, build and install pieces that suit your site, your style and Melbourne’s changing weather.
Where aluminium makes sense on your property
Aluminium is light, strong and naturally corrosion-resistant, which makes it perfect for exposed areas and low-maintenance living across Hallam, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Berwick and the broader south-east.
Gates & fencing: slat, blade, louvre and privacy screens for frontages, side access and pool zones.
Architectural details: entry features, letterbox panels, infills, battens, handrails and planter surrounds.
Why it works: lower upkeep than raw steel, excellent powder-coat adhesion, and no rust headaches near gardens, sprinklers or coastal air.
Our approach to aluminium fabrication Melbourne projects
We keep things engineered, tidy and on-schedule:
Measure & brief – We confirm spans, ground fall, clearances, hinges/rollers and power requirements for automation.
Design & detailing – Shop drawings with clear fixings, post centres and gate swing/track paths.
Cut, weld, dress – Precision cutting, jigged welding and clean grinding for tight joins and crisp edges.
Surface finishing – Professional pre-treatment and powder-coating for colour depth and durability.
Install & sign-off – Plumb posts, aligned gaps, smooth operation, tidy silicon and fixings. We leave the site clean.
The result: consistent lines, smooth gate movement, long-wear finishes and a front elevation that actually elevates your home.
Materials, finishes and where they shine
Material/Finish | Best Used For | Key Benefits | Care |
Aluminium slats (65×16, 90×16) | Front fences, side gates, screens | Privacy + airflow, modern look | Hose down, mild soapy wipe |
Blade profiles | Premium front fences, features | Bold shadow lines, high rigidity | Hose down, check fasteners |
Smooth powder-coat (Monument, Black, Surfmist) | Most gates/fences | UV-stable colour, easy clean | Occasional wash, avoid abrasives |
Textured or matte powder-coat | High-touch areas | Scuff-resistant, hides marks | Gentle clean with soft cloth |
Tip: Dark colours hide joins and read sleek from the street. Lighter tones pair well with brick, render and coastal palettes.
Compliance, safety and practical details we take care of
Setbacks and heights – We design to local council requirements and typical front boundary height limits.
Pool zones – We align latch heights, climbable zones and gate swing direction for compliant pool areas.
Automation-ready – We allow motor clearances, conduit runs, base plates and positive stops for future upgrades.
Fixings & footings – Galvanised/SS fixings and correctly sized concrete footings so nothing moves once it’s in.
Installation essentials owners often ask us about
Will it cope with Melbourne weather? Yes. Aluminium plus quality powder-coat shrugs off rain and temperature swings. For coastal influence or heavy irrigation, we specify robust pre-treatment and seal exposed cuts.
Will my gate sag? We build frames with appropriate sections, brace where needed and use quality hinges/rollers. Clearances are set for expansion and long-term smooth travel.
What’s the upkeep? Keep it simple: rinse dust, wipe seasonal grime, and check latches or automation yearly. No rust treatment, no repainting every summer.
Styles that suit modern and heritage streetscapes
Modern slat or blade – Clean lines for contemporary builds in Clyde North, Officer and Pakenham.
Vertical battens – Great on townhouses in Keysborough or Dandenong where privacy matters without closing off the facade.
Mixed materials – Aluminium with timber-look powder-coat or masonry piers for a high-end look without timber maintenance.
Design principle: repeat one rhythm (slat spacing or batten width) across fence, gate and side returns for a cohesive, custom feel.

We think like builders, communicate clearly with homeowners, and sweat the small details - gap consistency, post alignment, latch feel, silicone lines because they’re what you notice every day.
