Specifications

Product Description

A 4.5m wide gate is purpose-built for large openings — the kind of entry where anything smaller would look undersized or create clearance problems. Rural properties, large residential blocks, and commercial or semi-commercial sites with wide vehicle access are the natural fit here.

Fabricated at the Top Screens workshop in Virginia, North Brisbane, this gate ships fully welded and ready to hang. The powder-coated Natural White finish is UV-resistant and built to handle Queensland conditions without ongoing maintenance. No rust, no repainting, no fuss.

A guide rail is welded to the back of the top rail as standard, so the gate works straight away with a sliding block hardware kit. It's also compatible with most automation systems when you're ready to add a motor.

Available in four heights to suit your fence line. If you need a different colour or a size that isn't listed, get in touch. We fabricate to custom dimensions.

What's Included / What's Not

Installation Notes

At 4.5m, this is one of the larger gates in the range and installation should be treated accordingly. It's suited to experienced fencing professionals and DIY installers who are confident with sliding gate systems. If you haven't installed a sliding gate before, bring in a qualified fencing contractor — the span involved leaves little room for structural or alignment errors.

A sliding gate hardware kit is required and available separately from Top Screens. Post size, footing specifications, and support structure all need to be confirmed for a gate of this width before any groundwork starts. Site conditions, wind loading, soil type, and automation plans all factor in — your installer should be making these calls, not guessing.

All gates are fabricated to order. Measure carefully and double-check your height selection and tail preference before placing your order. We cannot accept returns or offer refunds once fabrication has commenced.

FAQ

Can a 4.5m gate be automated?

Yes, this gate is motor-ready and compatible with most sliding gate automation systems. At 4.5m wide, it's important to confirm the motor unit is rated for the gate size before purchasing. Give your automation supplier the gate dimensions and they can advise on the right unit.

What hardware is needed to install a 4.5m sliding gate?

A sliding block hardware kit is required. This covers the C-channel, sliding block, custom F-catcher, stopper, wheels and track. Kits are available separately from Top Screens. For a gate this wide, check with us before ordering to make sure you have the right kit for the span.

What post and footing specs does a 4.5m gate need?

A gate this wide places real demands on the support structure. Post size, footing depth, concrete volume, and fixing method all need to be specified by your installer based on your site. Wind exposure, soil conditions, gate height, and whether automation is planned all affect the answer. Don't rely on rule-of-thumb figures for a gate this size. Get it engineered or at minimum confirmed by an experienced fencing contractor before you break ground.

Is this gate available in other colours or sizes?

This listing covers Natural White in a 4.5m width. We fabricate in a range of powder coat colours (Surfmist, Woodland Grey, Monument, Black and more) and can produce custom widths if 4.5m isn't quite right for your opening. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll put a quote together.
