Gates built for one opening.
Neil builds timber and steel gates in Angaston, fits the motors and puts in the fencing to match. Here’s his work, and the new website that shows it off.
Aston Rural Enterprises is Neil, and his workshop is in Angaston in the Barossa Valley. He moved from Melbourne to Angaston during COVID, swapped a desk job for building gates and fences, and now makes timber and steel gates to fit one opening at a time. You can find him at Aston Rural Enterprises, custom gates and fencing in Angaston.
Spotted gum, curved top rails and steel where it suits
Most of Neil’s gates are hardwood, and spotted gum is his go-to, oiled to protect it. A lot of his entrance gates carry a curved top rail. Steel goes in where it suits the job, and it can be hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated. He builds wide farm and rural gates for paddocks, laneways and farm entrances, entrance and driveway pairs, side and garden gates for houses in town, and one-offs like overhead entrance frames and arbour gates. His custom timber and steel gates page has photos of each.
Neil quotes the job, builds the gate and hangs it himself. If it suits better, the gate can be collected or delivered ready to go in. Because he also does rural, farm and house fencing, a whole entrance, from the post and rail wings to the gate itself, can be one job.
Motors, keypads and remotes
Neil fits swing and sliding gate motors to the gates he builds, and to gates people already have. They run off mains power, or solar if the gate is a long way from the house. A keypad goes on its own post at the gate and remotes come with it, so you can open up without getting out of the car. Intercoms and safety sensors can go in too. Once it’s in, he sets it up, tests it and shows you how it all works before he leaves. There’s more on his gate automation page.
A website as solid as the gates
Neil’s new website went live on 28 September 2026. We made it bold and photo-led, because his gates are the best case for his work: a full-width hero, photo tiles for gates, fencing and automation, big galleries of his real jobs, and a map of the towns he covers, from Kapunda and Nuriootpa to Mount Pleasant, Birdwood and Hahndorf. The quote form asks for the opening width and takes a photo or sketch of the spot, which is the fastest way to a price. Neil can update the photos and text himself, and the site sits on his own domain with professional business email.
He likes working with locals, and he’ll travel about an hour and a half to two hours from Angaston. If you have a gateway that needs a gate, send Neil a photo through his site. More on the build is in our portfolio.
