Gates and fences are constantly exposed to the elements — rain, UV, humidity, and in many Auckland locations, salt air. Standard paint on outdoor metalwork typically needs repainting every few years. Powder coating offers a much tougher, longer-lasting alternative that keeps your gates and fencing looking sharp with far less maintenance.
At Coating Lab in Onehunga, we coat everything from single pedestrian gates to large driveway gates, perimeter steel fencing, and decorative ironwork. We also handle complete restoration of rusted or worn existing metalwork.
Gates and Fencing We Powder Coat
- Wrought iron gates — pedestrian, driveway, and decorative entry gates
- Steel fencing panels and posts — perimeter, boundary, and boundary fencing
- Driveway gates — single and double, flat and arched designs
- Pool fencing — steel and aluminium, vertical bar and panel styles
- Security gates and grilles — commercial and residential
- Decorative panels and screens — laser-cut steel, perforated panels
- Letterbox surrounds and gate posts
Restoration of Existing Gates and Fences
Older wrought iron gates and steel fencing that have rusted, chipped, or faded are ideal candidates for restoration. Rather than replacing, we can sandblast the existing metalwork back to bare steel and apply a fresh powder coat finish — a cost-effective way to restore appearance and protection.
- Sandblasting: All old paint, rust, and mill scale is removed down to bare metal
- Inspection: Surface checked for any defects or areas needing attention
- Pretreatment: Chemical treatment ensures optimal adhesion of the powder coat
- Powder application: Your chosen colour electrostatically applied for even coverage — including into decorative recesses and scrollwork
- Curing: Baked at 180–200°C for a hard, impact-resistant finish
- Quality check: Inspected before collection
New Fabrication Coating
If you're having new gates or fencing fabricated, powder coating should be part of the plan from the start. Coating bare new steel before it's installed means it arrives on site ready to perform, with no risk of rust forming during construction. We work with steel fabricators and builders across Auckland. We work directly with steel fabricators and builders across Auckland on a regular basis.

Yes. Powder coating is an excellent choice for pool fencing — it handles the moisture and chemical environment far better than standard paint. We coat both steel and aluminium pool fencing sections and frames.
We recommend removing hinges and hardware before drop-off where possible. However, if that's not practical, we can handle disassembly and include it in the pricing. Contact us with your gate details.
Powder coating significantly outperforms wet paint for outdoor metalwork. The finish is harder, more resistant to chipping and scratching, and doesn't peel or blister the way paint can when exposed to moisture and UV. It also provides better coverage on complex shapes like decorative ironwork.
