A gate is more than just an entry point—it’s your first line of security and part of your property’s street appeal. At Deadshort Services, we install, replace, and repair all types of gates, including:
If your existing gate is sagging, stuck, or not latching correctly, our technicians will assess the issue and offer cost-effective repairs or a complete replacement if needed.

Athelstone’s steady growth through knockdown rebuilds and new hillside developments means fencing must be both structurally sound and compliant with local council standards. Deadshort Services partners with builders, developers, and homeowners to design and install fencing that complements Athelstone’s natural landscape while ensuring full functionality and compliance.
We handle every detail — from measurement and layout to retaining walls, concrete plinths, and automation wiring. Our multi-trade capability ensures a smooth, coordinated installation process even on challenging blocks or uneven soil.
All materials are selected for durability against Adelaide’s weather conditions and installed by our own licensed trades. Every job is protected by our lifetime workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind that your new boundary fencing will stand the test of time.
