Sliding and swing gates, fabricated in steel to fit your driveway exactly — not a standard size adjusted after the fact.
Adonai Steel Fabrications builds two main styles of driveway gate — sliding gates, which run along a track or cantilever rail parallel to the fence line, and swing gates, which open on hinges like a door — fabricated in steel to the exact width, slope and clearance of your entrance, manual or automated.
A selection of recent gates jobs across Melbourne’s East — every one measured on site and fabricated to fit.
Fabricated to fit, by a local shop.
15+ years building gates across Melbourne’s East — we’ve fitted gates to just about every driveway shape and slope the area has.
Every gate is measured on-site, not ordered to a stock size.
One team fabricates and installs — not a subcontracted install crew.

| Sliding gate | Swing gate | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Sloped or tight driveways, narrow street frontage | Flat driveways with clearance to swing open |
| Space needed | Clear run along the fence line | Clear arc in front of and/or behind the gate |
| Automation | Common, smooth operation | Common, straightforward hinge-mounted motors |
Unsure which suits your property? Tell us the slope and available space when you call and we’ll recommend the right style rather than sell you the wrong gate.
We visit your property and measure the entrance — width, slope, and swing or run clearance.
We design and fabricate the gate frame and panel to match your fencing and site.
We install the gate and, if requested, fit or prepare it for automation.
Yes — sliding gates are usually the better choice on a slope because the gate travels along a level track or cantilever rail rather than needing ground clearance to swing through an arc.
A single swing gate uses one leaf across the full entrance width; a double (bi-parting) gate uses two leaves that meet in the middle, which suits wider entrances better since each leaf needs less swing clearance.
It can usually be added later, but planning for automation upfront means the frame, hinge posts or track are already built to suit a motor, which avoids retrofitting work down the track.
Both sliding and swing gates can be built to suit most standard and oversized driveways; the practical limit comes down to available run length or swing clearance, which we check on-site.
