Specifications

Product Description

A 4.8m wide gate is at the larger end of what most residential properties will ever need. At this span, you're typically looking at a wide driveway shared by multiple vehicles, a large rural or semi-rural property, or a commercial entry point where clearance and presentation both matter.

Fabricated at the Top Screens workshop in Virginia, North Brisbane, the gate arrives fully welded with minimal assembly required on your end. The Natural White powder coat is UV-stable and built for Australian conditions. It won't rust, peel, or need repainting regardless of what the Brisbane climate throws at it.

The guide rail is welded directly to the back of the top rail, meaning the gate is immediately compatible with a standard sliding block hardware kit. Automation can be added at any point, just confirm the motor unit is rated for the gate size with your chosen supplier.

Four height options are available to match your existing fence line. Need a different colour or a custom configuration? Get in touch because we quote custom orders regularly.

What's Included / What's Not

Installation Notes

A 4.8m gate is a serious piece of infrastructure and should be installed by an experienced fencing professional. The span, the structural load on the posts, and the precision required for correct alignment all make this a job for someone who has done it before. If that's not you, engage a qualified fencing contractor before you order.

A sliding gate hardware kit is required and available separately from Top Screens. Before any groundwork begins, your installer needs to confirm post sizing, footing specifications, and support structure requirements for this span. Wind loading, soil conditions, gate height, and automation all affect these specifications — they should be calculated for your specific site, not estimated.

All gates are fabricated to order and cannot be returned or refunded once fabrication has commenced. Verify your width, height, and tail preference carefully before placing your order.

FAQ

Can a 4.8m gate be automated?

Yes, this gate is motor-ready. At 4.8m wide, selecting the right motor matters more than it does for smaller gates, Make sure your automation supplier confirms the unit is rated for the gate size and weight before you purchase. Provide them with the full dimensions.

What hardware does a 4.8m sliding gate require?

A sliding block hardware kit is required, covering the C-channel, sliding block, custom F-catcher, stopper, wheels and track. These are available separately from Top Screens. At this span, speak to us before ordering to confirm you have the appropriate kit.

What structural requirements should I plan for with a 4.8m gate?

More than with smaller gates, a 4.8m span demands proper structural planning. Post size, footing depth, concrete volume, and bracing all need to be specified based on your site — soil type, wind exposure, gate height, and automation plans are all relevant variables. This isn't a job for rule-of-thumb estimates. Your fencing contractor should be calculating these requirements or seeking engineering input before groundwork starts.

Is 4.8m the widest gate available, or can you go wider?

We fabricate to custom dimensions, so if your opening is wider than 4.8m, get in touch with your measurements. For very large spans, there may be structural and hardware considerations worth discussing before you order.
