Property owners and builders in Narre Warren, if you’re juggling trades, deliveries or a busy family schedule, manual gates slow everything down. Gate automation makes daily access seamless, keeps your frontage secure and elevates your property’s first impression – without you stepping out of the car in the rain.
Why automate your gate with Walnut Fencing
We design, fabricate and install Australian-ready automated gates for homes and low-rise commercial sites across Narre Warren and the south-east. Our Hallam team handles everything end-to-end – from custom steel or aluminium fabrication to safe wiring integration and final commissioning – so you get a clean, compliant result that just works.
Key benefits at a glance
Hands-free convenience – arrive, tap, glide in, done.
Better security – controlled access, auto-close and event logging.
Street appeal – a finished look that lifts property value.
Integration-ready – intercoms, cameras, keypads, apps and smart home systems.
Built for Aussie conditions – powder-coated finishes, sealed motors, wind-rated designs.
What “gate automation Narre Warren” really involves
Automation is more than adding a motor. We assess your site gradients, prevailing winds, pillar strength, drainage and parking geometry to size the right operator and set safe travel speeds. We also plan cable routes, isolation switches, conduit depths and photo-beam locations so your system is tidy, reliable and serviceable.
Popular configurations we install
Sliding driveway gates – ideal where driveway space is tight. Quiet, fast and great for sloping sites if we build a level track.
Swing gates (single or double) – timeless look for wider driveways; we specify actuators for your leaf size, hinges and wind load.
Pedestrian gates with mag-locks or strikes – keypad, RFID or video intercom for parcel and guest access.
Cantilever sliders – no ground track, perfect where leaf litter or gravel would clog a floor track.

Quick comparison
Gate style | Best for | Typical clearance | Notes |
Sliding | Narrow or sloped driveways | Side room equal to gate width | Fast, stable, secure |
Swing - single | Medium entrances | Full leaf swing arc | Simple, fewer moving parts |
Swing - double | Wide entrances | Half-leaf swing arc | Balanced look, lower leaf weight |
Cantilever | Uneven or debris-prone aprons | Side room equal to gate width + counterbalance | No floor track, premium feel |
Controls and smart add-ons that owners love
Remotes, keypads and RFID fobs – simple and robust for daily use.
Smartphone control – open from anywhere, share temporary codes and view event logs.
Video intercom – see and speak to visitors, then tap to release.
Auto-close with safety – closes after a set delay when beams are clear.
Battery backup – keeps you moving during outages; solar is available where cabling is difficult.
Safety gear – photoelectric beams, safety edges and emergency release for safe egress.
Safety first – we prioritise crush and entrapment protection with beams, edges and speed limits, and we place isolation switches where they’re easy to reach for maintenance.
Built to last - our fabrication and finishes
Whether you choose pressed-spear security, vertical blade profiles, or aluminium slats for privacy, our in-house fabrication ensures consistent welds, clean lines and reliable geometry. We specify bearings, hinges and rollers to suit your gate’s mass and duty cycle, then finish with durable powder-coating in popular Colorbond colours or architectural blacks for a cohesive frontage.
Our process - simple, engineered, accountable
Site visit and advice – we measure, check levels and listen to how you live and use the driveway.
Design and specification – gate style, frame sections, posts, motor sizing, control hardware and safety layout.
Fabrication – jigs and QA checks ensure true, square frames and smooth travel.
Installation and commissioning – concrete footings or track, wiring integration, travel limits and obstacle testing.
Handover – remotes programmed, apps connected, safety demonstrated and maintenance tips provided.
What you get: a single accountable team for structure, mechanics and electronics – no finger-pointing between trades.

For builders and strata managers
If you’re delivering spec homes, townhouses or small commercial units, automation is a high-perceived-value upgrade that photographs beautifully and smooths handovers. We provide shop drawings, preferred conduit routes and clear handover packs so owners know how to use and maintain their system from day one.
Design pointers to get it right
Match the façade – repeat lines from your cladding or balustrades so the gate feels designed, not added.
Think parking geometry – leave room to nose in, straighten and close without reversing.
Plan for parcels – keypad or intercom with a lockable pedestrian gate keeps couriers out of the driveway.
Future-proof – choose controllers that support apps, geofencing and additional accessories later.
