If you’re pulling up outside your place and stepping out in the rain to open a heavy gate, there’s an easier way. We design and install reliable gate automation in Hampton Park that feels effortless day to day - and adds real security and street appeal.
Why automate your gate with Walnut
We’re local fabricators and installers, so we take responsibility for the whole outcome - from posts and tracks to motors and controls. The result is a neat install that works first time and keeps working.
Safe and secure - photocell safety beams, soft start-stop, auto-close, manual release for outages.
Quiet and tidy - correctly sized motors, aligned tracks, concealed cabling.
Controls your way - keypads, remotes, phones, intercoms, timed access for trades.
Built for outdoors - weather-sealed control boxes, powder-coated steel or aluminium hardware.
Sliding or swing gate automation hampton park
The right mechanism depends on space, slope and wind exposure. Here’s a quick guide.
Option | Best for | Typical opening | Standout benefits |
Sliding gate | Narrow or sloped driveways, high wind | 3-6 m single leaf | Space-efficient - secure latch point - smooth running on track |
Twin swing gates | Wide, level driveways with set-back | 2-5 m total | Classic look - no ground track across driveway |
Single swing gate | Smaller openings, side entries | 1-3 m | Simple setup - fewer components |
Solar-assisted kits | Long driveways, limited mains access | Varies | Off-grid friendly - battery backup built-in |
Not sure what you need? We’ll assess your site in Hampton Park and recommend the most dependable setup for your space.
What great automation looks like on site
Good automation starts with good fundamentals. We focus on the parts you don’t see as much as the ones you do.
Structure first
Concrete footings sized to the gate and soil type.
Plumb, braced posts with correct embedment.
True and level track for sliding systems - clean drainage to prevent grit build-up.
Power and cabling done right
Dedicated circuit from your switchboard with RCD protection.
Conduits to motor, beams, keypads and intercom - no exposed flex.
Surge protection and battery backup so your gate keeps working during outages.
Controls that fit your routine
Remotes in your car - plus keypad or phone control so you’re never locked out.
Timed auto-close for peace of mind.
Intercom options to screen visitors and deliveries.
Materials and finishes that last
Automation shouldn’t be let down by the gate itself. We specialise in steel and aluminium gates that pair perfectly with motors and controls.
Sliding - RHS frames with straight, stiff rails - quality rack and robust floor track.
Swing - reinforced hinge points - adjustable hinges for long-term alignment.
Finishes - powder-coated in popular colours for a clean, durable surface that’s easy to maintain.
Local considerations in Hampton Park
Hampton Park driveways often have tight street parking and afternoon crosswinds. We’ll factor in vehicle turning radius, wind load, drainage and bin-day clearance so your automation works in real life - not just on paper. We also install with Australian Standards and local council requirements in mind for a safe, compliant outcome.
Our simple process
Measure and plan - on-site assessment to confirm clearances, power route and best mechanism.
Design and fabricate - we build your gate and posts in our workshop, matched to your motor choice.
Install and commission - set limits, pair remotes, test safety beams and auto-close.

Care and maintenance tips
