Slat Gates: what are they?
If you seek an elegant solution for securing your home’s entrance or access to your pool, slat gates are the ideal choice. They seamlessly blend security, functionality, and aesthetics, making them a favourite among both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Locally crafted in Western Australia, slat gates are versatile, cost-effective and tailored to your needs. Robust, they can be made of welded steel or aluminium frames requiring minimal maintenance yet lasting a lifetime. Slat gates come in different colours and with different slat spacing options, making them a perfect fit for driveways, front entrances, property boundaries, or ensuring secure pool entry.
Known for their straightforward installation, our slate gates are crafted in our workshop in Maddington. They can either be installed by our team or sold as a kit to assemble for the ultimate DIY project.
Slat gates: why opt for a DIY kit?
DIY projects offer multiple benefits. First of all, they are a great solution to save money as they often prove to be more cost-effective than hiring professionals. Then, they are a great way to empower individuals to tap into their creativity, and their manual and problem-solving skills, fostering a sense of accomplishment. Indeed, seeing a project through from conception to completion is a great source of satisfaction and pride.
DIY projects are also very good for digital disconnection as they have us focusing on one task at a time. Some say they can even be a source of relaxation and stress relief… …although we all know this is true only if everything goes well together! This is why at Mackson, we support you along the way.
