There is a moment, just as the gates begin to part, when the road behind you ends and home begins. The Newport is built for that moment.
You can't change the street, the neighbours, or the shape of the block. The entrance is the one thing that's entirely yours to decide — and it's the first thing anyone reads about your home. The Newport reads well: open and generous across the top so the property still breathes, private through the lower half, and weighted in real Australian steel so it swings shut with a sound you'll come to like. Get the entrance right and everything behind it looks better.
A driveway is the widest opening in the boundary, and usually the one that gives everything away — the cars, the kids, the front yard, the whole of the house behind it. The Newport closes that off properly. Beneath the open top, the lower half runs 50 × 10 uprights set just 20mm apart: the eye doesn't drift through, so the front of the property is genuinely private while air and light still move. Across the top, the open band keeps the sky in the picture so it never reads as a barricade. The front of the property stops being on display and starts being part of the home.
The Newport is built from heavier sections than a gate this size needs — 75 × 75 RHS gate sides, 75 × 50 RHS top, mid and bottom rails, welded from premium galvanised Australian steel. You notice it the first time you push a leaf: no flex, no rattle, no hollow note. It moves as one piece and closes with intent. On a double that extra steel earns its keep twice over, because a wide leaf is where lightweight gates give up first — they wind slowly out of square until the centre gap goes crooked and the two sides stop meeting. The Newport holds its line. It's the reason a good gate still shuts properly in twenty years, and a cheap one doesn't last five.
Hardware is where an expensive-looking gate gives itself away, usually inside the first year — and on a pair of leaves this size, there is nowhere for a weak hinge to hide. So every Newport double is supplied with heavy-duty ball bearing hinges, a pair on each leaf, and a genuine step up from the standard hinge. Sealed 180° bearings carry the load instead of grinding against it, rated well beyond the weight of the gates, so they swing smooth and effortless and never drop or drag. Each hinge is fully adjustable on a threaded stem, so the installer can dial both leaves square on their posts and set the centre gap true — then leave it. On a double gate that alignment is everything: two leaves that meet clean, every time. It matters more again if you automate, because an opener only ever performs as well as the hinges underneath it. Zinc plated for the weather. Included in the price, not an upsell.
Pair the Newport double with the matching Newport single gate and fence panels and the entire frontage reads as one designed estate — same open top, same close 20mm spacing below, same finish, carried from boundary to front path to driveway. The home arrives at the street the way it should: composed, considered, and unmistakably chosen rather than supplied.
There's a long stretch between moving in and feeling moved in. The lawn comes in. The hedges fill out. The cars stop looking new. And one day the gates go on at the front of the drive — and the place finally reads, from the road, as the home you've been picturing the whole way through.
The Newport double is built for that moment. Substantial, weighted, generous — uprights set just 20mm apart through the lower half so the front of the property is genuinely private, open across the top so it never feels like a barricade. The kind of entrance that ages forward rather than dates. The matching single gate and fence panels carry the same language, so the boundary, the front path and the driveway all settle into one resolved composition.
It isn't the cheapest way to close a driveway, and it was never meant to be. An aluminium gate is a purchase — replaced when it sags, fades or dents, and the second one costs what the first one did. A Newport is fitted once. Australian galvanised steel in heavier sections than the job demands, welded by hand, four-stage bonded powder coat, heavy-duty ball bearing hinges in the box, backed for ten years. Spread across the years it will stand there, it is one of the least expensive things you will do to the front of the house — and one of the few your children could still be closing behind them.
The Newport is the entrance you'll still be proud of when the dog has grown old, the kids have left, and the garden has finally come in.
A pair of Newport leaves is a serious load — so every set ships with heavy-duty ball bearing hinges included, a pair on each leaf, the higher-grade hinge built to carry that weight and keep both gates swinging smooth for the long haul. For a clean swing and a centre gap that stays even, we recommend a minimum 100 × 100 mm steel post, and we supply the full range of compatible posts, locks, drop bolts and automation hardware to suit.
Speak to our team before you order. We'll walk you through opening width, leaf split, swing direction, post selection and automation — so the Newport hangs straight, meets true in the centre and closes cleanly from day one.
