You are looking for a gate that suits your home and, at the same time, offers peace of mind regarding access and privacy. Metal garden gates offer precisely that combination. They are strong, dimensionally stable, and can be finished down to the smallest detail in terms of color, texture, and style. At Wehebbenallesinhuis, we guide you from the initial sketch to on-site installation, ensuring that the gate not only looks beautiful but also functions flawlessly for years to come. The idea is simple: a gate that can withstand daily use and neatly defines your property, without any hassle.
Safety as a starting point
Safety begins with construction. The thickness of the profile, the quality of the welds, and the way hinges and strike plates are attached determine how well metal garden gates withstand intensive use. We pay attention to deflection in wide passages and to child-lock-friendly handles. Also consider sightlines: with solid panels or slats, you limit visibility, while with bars, you maintain an overview. For extra security, we integrate magnetic locks, multi-point locking, or an electric opener that closes safely using force limitation and photocells.
Design that suits your home
Modern, rural, or classic: metal garden gates can be designed from minimalist frame profiles to elegant bars with ornamentation. You choose the lines, and we ensure the correct proportions relative to the facade, fencing, and paving. Colors range from timeless black to soft green tones and warm earth colors. Powder coating gives the surface a smooth, robust finish that matches window frames, garden screens, or facade accents. This creates a cohesive whole that enhances your entrance rather than dominating it.
Materials and finish for long-term use
Durability is fundamental. Where appropriate, we use hot-dip galvanized steel, then powder-coated for double protection against rust. For lighter constructions or close to the sea, aluminum can be an interesting option. Whichever choice you make, metal garden gates benefit from a finish that is resistant to rain, de-icing salt, and UV light. Hinges are fitted with grease nipples or low-maintenance bearings, lock cases are installed for water drainage, and all visible seams are neatly finished. You'll see it, but most importantly: you'll notice it in ease of maintenance.
Customization starts with accurate measurement
A perfect gate starts with measurement. We determine the clear passage, height, opening direction, and the position of posts relative to your property line. The slope of the driveway also matters, because with an upward-sloping paving, metal garden gates require specific hinges or a sliding solution. If you have pets, we recommend a smaller bar spacing or a solid bottom rail. For mailboxes, house numbers, or doorbell plates, we provide neat cutouts. All with the goal of making daily use effortless, without bumping or jamming.
Operation: Manual or automated
Manual operation is simple and reliable, but for those who want comfort, automation is the choice. Sliding and swing gate operators are quiet, force-limited, and can be controlled with a remote control, keypad, or app. In combination with an intercom and camera, you always know who is at the door. Important detail: electrically closing metal garden gates are equipped with safety sensors and emergency release for power outages. This keeps the system safe for children and pets, and in case of emergencies, you always remain in control of access.
Installation, foundation and maintenance
A straight gate requires a straight foundation. We place steel or concrete footings at frost-free depth and use chemical anchors or cast-in anchors for maximum stability. For soft ground, we choose larger base plates or longer posts. After installation, we finely adjust the closing gap, stops, and end stops. Maintenance is straightforward: clean twice a year with a pH-neutral cleaner, lightly grease moving parts, and promptly touch up paint damage. This keeps metal garden gates smooth, quiet, and aesthetically pleasing.
