Metal Driveway Gates — Complete Guide

Metal driveway gates are the go-to choice for homeowners who want a contemporary, low-maintenance entrance that makes a statement. At Driveway Driveway Gates, we offer both steel and aluminium options — each with distinct advantages depending on your priorities. Our metal gates combine precision engineering with striking modern design, and every gate is fabricated to your exact measurements for a flawless fit.

Why Choose Our Metal Gates?

Metal gates offer a level of strength and security that other materials simply cannot match. Our mild steel gates are hot-dip galvanised before powder coating, providing a dual-layer defence against corrosion that lasts decades. For those seeking a lighter option, our aluminium gates deliver the same modern aesthetic at a fraction of the weight — making them ideal for wider openings and electric automation. We specialise in contemporary designs featuring horizontal slats, laser-cut patterns, perforated panels and minimalist flat-panel construction.

How It Works

Simply submit your enquiry through our quick form and a member of our team will be in touch within 24 hours. We will discuss your design preferences, take measurements remotely or in person, and provide a comprehensive quotation including supply and professional installation. Our fabrication team works to tight tolerances, and most metal gates are ready for fitting within 2 to 4 weeks of order confirmation.

Maintenance & Aftercare

One of the biggest advantages of metal driveway gates is their minimal upkeep. Powder-coated steel and aluminium gates need only an occasional wash with soapy water to keep them looking pristine. There is no need for painting, varnishing or staining. We provide a 10-year guarantee on our powder-coat finish against peeling, flaking and fading.

Metal Gates — Frequently Asked Questions

Are metal gates better than wooden gates?

Metal gates offer superior security and require virtually no maintenance compared to wood. However, wooden gates provide a warmer, more traditional aesthetic. The best choice depends on your property style, budget and personal preference. We can help you decide during your consultation.

Will metal gates rust?

Our steel gates are hot-dip galvanised and powder coated, providing excellent rust protection. Aluminium gates do not rust at all. Both options are designed to withstand the harshest UK weather conditions.

What colours are available?

We can powder coat your gates in any RAL colour. Popular choices include anthracite grey (RAL 7016), jet black (RAL 9005), pure white (RAL 9010) and moss green (RAL 6005). We provide colour samples on request.

How heavy are metal driveway gates?

Weight varies by size and material. A typical pair of steel gates for a 3-metre opening weighs approximately 80 to 120kg total. Aluminium gates weigh roughly 40% less, making them an excellent choice for automation.
