Giving Your Home a Stronger Finish
At Sunshine Gates, we like keeping projects simple and personal. Our aluminium gates work well for Coolum homes that see plenty of sun, and they hold their shape without much fuss. Pedestrian gates help guide the flow of your yard, giving you a neat way to section areas without making the space feel blocked in.
Privacy screens offer a calmer corner when you need it, and we shape them so breezes still move through comfortably. Pool pump covers help tidy up the pool zone while cutting back on noise, and our bin enclosures keep your bins steady, organised and out of sight.
Everything’s made in our Kunda Park workshop, which means you’re talking to the same crew who build your project. If you’d like to get started, give us a call on
(07) 5476 5477 and we’ll organise your free measure and quote.

Aluminium Gates in Coolum
Aluminium gates in Coolum suit homes that battle sun, breeze and the occasional salt spray. They’re light to open, which helps if the gate sits on a slope or gets used constantly throughout the day. The powder-coated surface keeps its colour steady without needing seasonal oiling.
Many people in Coolum use aluminium gates to match modern fencing lines or add a clean entry point near driveways. If you’ve got pets, the spacing between slats can be adjusted to keep them safely inside. The lighter frame also puts less strain on hinges, which helps the gate swing smoothly over the long term.
Pedestrian Gates in Coolum
In Coolum, pedestrian gates see frequent use, especially in homes with side paths or shared walkways. A well-built pedestrian gate offers a smooth swing and a latch that doesn’t catch or jam. These gates help break up outdoor areas without making them feel boxed in.
If your yard slopes or twists, the frame can be shaped to follow the angles so it doesn’t scrape the ground. Many Coolum households add a small privacy strip near the latch to keep the front entry more discreet. Pedestrian gates are a simple way to give your yard better flow while keeping access points controlled.
Privacy Screens in Coolum
Privacy screens in Coolum are handy for softening views from footpaths or nearby homes. They keep outdoor areas feeling calm without blocking fresh air. The aluminium build prevents warping, especially in homes close to the coast. The spacing of the slats can be set to manage airflow, give shade or block certain sightlines.
Many Coolum locals place screens near outdoor showers, courtyards or pool zones to create a more comfortable space. Because they’re low-maintenance, a quick rinse now and then usually keeps them looking tidy. They’re a great option when you want separation without feeling closed in.
Pool Pump Covers & Bin Enclosures in Coolum
In Coolum, our pool pump covers help protect your pool equipment from harsh sun and shifting weather. The vented panels make sure the pump gets enough airflow to stop heat from building up. Many homeowners appreciate how the cover reduces noise, especially when the pump kicks in early in the morning.
Meanwhile, bin enclosures in Coolum help keep things neater around the front or side of your home. They shield the bins from passing views and stop them shifting in breezy weather. The slatted panels provide plenty of airflow, which helps manage odours. Each bin sits in its own slot, so collection days become quicker and less fiddly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do aluminium finishes usually hold their colour?
Powder-coated aluminium tends to hold colour for several years because the coating bonds tightly to the metal. Homes in full sun may see a gradual softening of shade over time, though lighter colours often stay fresher for longer.
Occasional rinsing helps remove salt and dust, both of which can dull the finish. Matte and satin coatings usually hide wear better than glossy ones. People near coastal areas often lean toward textured finishes as they’re less likely to show minor marks.
Overall, aluminium requires far less upkeep than timber or steel in harsh outdoor conditions.
What type of gate is best for my property?
A busy pedestrian gate works best with a latch that’s easy to open using one hand and less prone to sticking. Magnetic and soft-close styles cut down on noise and reduce slamming when the wind picks up.
If kids use the gate regularly, it helps to choose a latch height that’s secure but still practical.
Gates that sit near driveways often benefit from latches with stronger springs to stop accidental opening. Corrosion-resistant hardware is worth considering, especially in humid areas.
In general, choosing a latch comes down to daily use, safety needs and how smooth you want the swing.
Are privacy screens suitable for airflow-heavy spaces?
Privacy screens work surprisingly well in breezy areas because slats can be spaced to direct airflow rather than block it. Screens with adjustable or angled slats allow air to move through while still shielding the area from view.
In homes where cross-ventilation matters, wider gaps help maintain comfort. Aluminium screens won’t swell or twist when exposed to moisture, which is helpful in open, airy spots.
Many people use screens to soften wind gusts on patios without shutting the space off completely. It’s a flexible option for balancing airflow, sunlight and privacy.
How can i manage the odour coming from my outdoor bins?
Bin enclosures can help with odour control because their slatted or vented panels let air circulate rather than trapping smells. Shaded placement also prevents heat from building up inside the enclosure, which reduces odour intensity.
Separating bins into individual slots stops lids from lifting and letting rubbish spill or shift. Enclosures also help prevent animals from disturbing bins, which can create strong smells if rubbish is scattered.
Regular rinsing of both the bins and enclosure keeps things fresh. Overall, ventilation and shading make the biggest difference when managing odours outdoors.
