Privacy Without the Price Tag
Privacy screens are one of those things that really only work when they're built specifically for the space they're going into. At Gate-O-Matic, that's exactly how we approach it. After 16 years manufacturing and installing privacy screens across Townsville, we've built a solid understanding of what works for properties in this part of Queensland. Every screen starts with a conversation where we'll talk through your space, your priorities and your existing setup, then design and manufacture something in-house, powder-coated by our own team, that fits perfectly, rather than something that's close enough.
Call us on 0408 063 575 and we'll design something that works for your property.
Our screens use a slatted design that gives you genuine privacy in outdoor areas like patios, carports and pool surrounds, without closing off the natural light and airflow that make outdoor living worth having in the first place. Because everything is built to order and we handle the whole process ourselves, we can accommodate specific sizes, colours and slat spacings without having to go back and forth with an outside supplier. You deal with us from start to finish, and we don't consider the job done until you're happy with the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are aluminium privacy screens commonly used for around homes?
Aluminium privacy screens are widely used to create visual barriers while maintaining airflow and natural light. They are commonly installed around patios, balconies, pool areas and front entrances to increase privacy without fully enclosing a space. Many property owners also use privacy screens to conceal utility areas such as air conditioning units, pool pumps, hot water systems and bins. Their slatted or decorative designs allow ventilation, which helps prevent heat build-up in outdoor areas. Because aluminium is lightweight yet durable, it is suitable for both freestanding panels and integrated fencing or wall-mounted applications.
Are aluminium privacy screens suitable for coastal conditions?
Aluminium privacy screens are often selected for coastal regions because aluminium naturally resists corrosion compared to many other metals. When powder coated, the protective finish adds an extra layer of durability against salt air, humidity and strong sunlight. This makes them particularly appropriate for areas exposed to changing weather conditions. In coastal cities such as Townsville, where salt exposure can accelerate rust on untreated materials, powder coated aluminium provides a practical and lower maintenance option. Routine cleaning with mild detergent and fresh water can further support long term performance and appearance.
Can privacy screens be customised to match existing fencing or gates?
Yes, privacy screens can be custom designed to complement existing fencing, gates or architectural features. This includes selecting matching powder coat colours, slat spacing, panel sizes and decorative patterns. Custom fabrication allows screens to be tailored to specific measurements, which is particularly useful for irregular spaces or unique property layouts. Screens can be designed to align with modern, traditional or commercial building styles. Accurate on site measurements and clear design planning ensure the finished product integrates seamlessly with surrounding structures and maintains a consistent appearance across the property.
