Completed project · Mernda VIC
Timber fence panel replaced with a COLORBOND® gate.
This completed project added pedestrian access to a narrow side passage beside the home.
Project overview
New side access without replacing the full fence.
At this Mernda property, an existing timber fence panel was replaced with a COLORBOND pedestrian gate. The finished gate provides direct access through the side passage while working within the space between the boundary fence and brick wall.
No measurements, product colour or price are stated because those details were not supplied with the project photos. Similar alterations must be measured and quoted for their own opening, posts, clearances and ground conditions.
Before and after
From closed fence section to pedestrian access.
Genuine project photos show the original timber panel and the completed COLORBOND gate.
Can an existing fence panel be changed into a gate?
It can be possible when there is enough usable width and the surrounding fence, posts, ground and nearby structures allow a suitable installation. The opening should be checked for gate swing, safe clearance, practical access and room for the required supports.
What should be confirmed before quoting?
- Clear opening width and preferred gate height.
- Photos from both sides of the fence section.
- Available space for the gate to open.
- Ground level, paving, garden edging and nearby services.
- Preferred latch or lock requirements.
Can the gate match the existing fence?
A matching or coordinated finish may be possible when the existing fence profile and colour can be identified. The final materials, frame, posts, hinges and lock or latch are confirmed in the written quotation.
