A side gate may seem like a small addition to your home, but it plays a big role in both security and design. Whether it’s keeping unwanted visitors out, giving you easier side access, or simply finishing off your boundary fence with a clean, modern look, aluminium side gates are a smart and stylish choice.
At Premier Gates, we design and install custom aluminium side gates that match the layout, colour, and architecture of your home. Here’s what makes aluminium the best material for side access gates and why it continues to be a popular option across South Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Why Choose a Side Gate?
Side gates serve multiple functions. They:
- Provide secure access between the front and back of your home
- Help keep children and pets safely contained
- Block off service areas such as bins or air conditioning units
- Add privacy and security without requiring a full fence
A high-quality side gate not only performs well but also complements your property’s overall appearance.
Benefits of Aluminium for Side Gates
All of our gates at Premier Gates are made from aluminium because it offers the ideal combination of durability, appearance, and low maintenance.
Advantages of aluminium:
- Corrosion-resistant in all weather conditions, including coastal areas
- Lightweight for smooth, easy use in narrow access points
- Low maintenance with no rust, warping, or repainting required
- Powder-coated in a wide range of colours to match your home

A Consistent Look Across Your Property
One of the advantages of aluminium is its ability to tie into other areas of your outdoor space. We often install side gates alongside:
- Driveway gates for a consistent boundary finish
- Privacy screens and covers for stylish separation of outdoor areas
- Other matching fencing or slat panels
Using the same high-quality material across your project ensures a uniform look with long-lasting performance.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australian homes need materials that can withstand heat, moisture, and salt air. Aluminium is ideal for the Gold Coast and South Brisbane environment because it doesn’t rust or degrade over time. It’s perfect for tight access spaces where timber or steel may fail due to weight or ongoing maintenance.
Secure, Functional and Built to Last
Premier Gates delivers custom-built aluminium side gates that look great and work seamlessly with your home. Whether you need secure pedestrian access, a stylish visual upgrade, or a low-maintenance solution, we’ll help you create a gate that fits your needs and space.
