Slim side gate frames made to your measurements, plus latches, hinges, short lengths of mesh and fittings for Gordon Park owners doing the job themselves.
Gordon Park fits 1,959 homes into about 1.2 square kilometres, so the path down the side of the house is often the only way into the backyard. Securing it is a weekend job for most owners, as long as the parts fit. Our fencing supplies in Gordon Park customers collect are sized for that gap: a gate frame built to your width, a latch that suits it, and enough mesh to close the path beside it. We make the frames in our Geebung workshop. Measure the passage, call us, and we'll have your fencing supplies in Gordon Park ready to pick up.

Most Gordon Park blocks are interwar lots, cut small when the old estates were sold. About a third of homes are now flats and 11.3% are townhouses, so side passages are narrow and backyards are compact. One slim gate and a few metres of fence usually decide whether the whole yard is secure. The fencing materials Gordon Park owners need for that are small, but they have to fit.
We sell the gate frames and hardware and fittings that job needs, in small quantities. Buying fencing supplies in Gordon Park from a gate maker means the frame arrives square and sized to your opening. Fencing supplies in Gordon Park are a short drive north to Geebung, or we can deliver.
A hardware store sells gates in a few fixed widths. Side passages don't come in fixed widths. Our Geebung workshop has made gates and fence components since 1996, so we build the frame to the gap you measured instead of asking you to pack out a stock size. Custom gates are made to order, often within 48 hours.
The team at the counter has more than 90 years of combined experience installing what they sell. When you buy fencing supplies in Gordon Park from us, you can ask which hinge suits a slim frame, where to set the latch post and how to tie in the mesh beside it. That help is part of our fencing supplies in Gordon Park service.
These five lines cover most side-path and small-yard jobs. Each can be bought on its own or together, and all fencing supplies in Gordon Park can be collected or delivered.
Side gate frames made to size are the core of most Gordon Park orders. Measure the gap between the house and the boundary at the top, middle and bottom, and tell us which side the gate should hinge on. We'll build a chain wire or weld mesh frame to suit, finished in galvanised, black powder coating or PVC coating. Custom gates are often ready within 48 hours.
Best for: narrow side passages
Explore gate frames and hardwareA slim gate carries its weight on small fixings, so the hardware matters. We stock gate latches and gate hinges to suit our frames and many existing gates. Tell us whether the gate needs to open from both sides and whether it closes against a post or a wall. We'll match hardware that lines up with your frame the first time.
Best for: new gates and worn hardware
View gate hardwareClosing a side path often needs only a few metres of mesh beside the gate. We sell short lengths of chain wire in galvanised and black PVC-coated finishes, so you can match what's already on the boundary. The chain wire supplies Gordon Park owners pick up from us are cut to the run they measured, which keeps a small job tidy.
Best for: short sections beside a gate
Browse chain wire suppliesA new gate needs a solid post to hang from and one to latch against. We supply posts and rails for those points, plus tie wire, cable, clamps and the other fence fittings that hold mesh to the frame. Bring the height of your existing fence and we'll match post lengths so the new section sits level with the old.
Best for: gate posts and short runs
View fence accessoriesMany interwar front fences here use timber. Our steel frames take timber palings, so you get a side gate that matches the street fence without the sagging that an all-timber gate can develop. Attach the palings yourself. We'll make the frame to your opening and supply the hinges and latch to hang it.
Best for: character homes with timber fences

Gordon Park had 4,390 residents at the 2021 Census, up from 3,608 in 2006. Separate houses still make up 56.0% of homes, but 11.3% are townhouses and 32.9% are flats, built into a suburb Queensland Places describes as primarily interwar. Kedron Brook wraps the east and south edges, and Stafford Rd forms the northern boundary.
Side passages on older lots are often narrow and rarely square. A house wall can lean slightly, and path levels change along the run. Infill townhouses have added new boundaries beside old ones, so a side path may meet two different fence types. Stock gates seldom fit these gaps without packing.
A gate that is too wide binds on the path. One that is too narrow leaves a gap beside the latch post. Either way the side path stays open, and in a small yard that path is usually the only way in or out.
For fencing supplies in Gordon Park, we start with your measurements, taken at several heights. We build the frame to the smallest width you give us, then match hinges, latch and posts to it. If the side passage fencing needs a few metres of mesh, we cut it to the length you measured. You leave with a complete set of parts for one job.

These three problems bring the most Gordon Park DIYers to our counter. Each is a manageable job with the right fencing supplies in Gordon Park, and we'll explain the order of work. Bring photos and measurements when you come in for fencing supplies in Gordon Park.
Worn gate hinges, a loose hinge post or an old timber gate that has dropped at the latch end.
A dragging gate gets left ajar because it's hard to shut, and it scrapes the path every time it moves.
If the frame is still square, replace the hinges and re-fix or replace the hinge post. If the frame itself has dropped, a new steel frame made to size is the lasting fix. Measure the opening at the top and bottom, as the difference shows how far it has moved.
Signs to watch for: a scraped path, a latch that no longer meets its keeper, gaps at the top corner.
The gate or latch post has shifted, so the latch and its keeper no longer line up.
A gate that doesn't latch swings open in the wind and stops the side path keeping pets or children in.
Check that the latch post is firm first. Re-set it if it moves. Then fit new gate latches at the height where the gate and post now meet. Bring the old latch or a photo so we can match the fixing holes, or choose a new style that suits both sides of the gate.
A new gate was hung without closing the short section between its post and the existing boundary fence, or old mesh has pulled away.
A small dog or a determined visitor goes straight around the gate.
Close it with a short length of chain wire tied to the gate post and the existing fence with tie wire and fence fittings. Match the finish and height of the old mesh so the join sits neatly. This is one of the simplest DIY fence repairs we supply, and the parts fit in a car boot.

Get a Supply QuoteMeasure the gap between the house and the boundary at the top, middle and bottom, and write down the smallest figure. Note which side you want the hinges on, which way the gate should open and whether the path slopes. Send a photo too. With those details we can build fencing supplies in Gordon Park to fit the passage without packing.
Custom gates are made to order in our Geebung workshop, often within 48 hours. Call (07) 3865 8100 with your measurements and finish, and we'll confirm when it will be ready. We'll also put the matching hinges, latch and any posts aside so the whole kit is ready at the same time. Delivery is available if you'd rather not collect.
Yes. Many side-path jobs need just new hardware. We stock gate latches, gate hinges and the fittings to mount them. Bring the old part or a clear photo showing the fixing holes and the gate frame, and we'll match it or suggest a replacement that suits. Staff can explain how to line up the latch with its keeper.
Our gates and mesh come in galvanised, black powder coating or PVC coating. Galvanised suits a practical side path. Black powder coating or black PVC-coated mesh blends into gardens and darker fences. If you're joining onto an old fence, match its finish so the new section doesn't stand out. Bring a photo and we'll compare it at the counter.
Usually not for a standard side gate, but check your plans. Brisbane City Council requires building approval where a fence is more than 2 m above natural ground, counting any screen or retaining wall, or where it forms part of a regulated pool barrier. Pool gates must self-close and self-latch under QBCC rules. Overlays may also apply, so check City Plan.
We accept cash, Mastercard and Visa at our outlet at 39 Basalt St, Geebung. For a gate plus parts, call first and we'll prepare a written supply quote listing each item, so you can check the cost before we start the frame. Free on-site parking makes it easy to load a gate into a car, ute or trailer.
Gordon Park's community grew around its churches as the interwar estates filled. The Baptist congregation began as a tent mission in Khartoum St, and its church opened on 27 March 1926. Archbishop Duhig laid the foundation stone of the Catholic church and school in July 1929, and the former St Carthage's school at 29 Aberdeen Tce is now heritage listed. St John's Anglican Church was dedicated in 1959. The population has kept rising, from 3,608 in 2006 to 4,015 in 2011 and 4,390 in 2021. Kedron Brook's parkland and bikeway still frame the suburb. Sureline has made gates in Geebung since 2006, and our fencing supplies in Gordon Park come from that workshop.
