Architectural, bespoke fences & gates are the finishing pieces to a truly well-designed home.
If you’re creating a bespoke home, a one-size-fits-all fence doesn’t make a lot of sense. A standard timber fence is primarily a boundary treatment. It exists because… well, it kind of has to be there. An architectural aluminium fence becomes part of the design of the home. That’s why architects in New Zealand specify Warner in their plans for modern, bespoke fences and gates.

Benefits of modern aluminium fences and gates
Often the first decision when looking to upgrade from timber fencing, is looking for a kind of fence that will not warp or rot. Aluminium is low maintenance, and ours is all extruded in New Zealand. 

At Warner we believe the upgrade from timber fencing to NZ-made aluminium bespoke fences and gates, is an extraordinary one. You have plenty of options for architectural fencing in NZ, but not all are made equal.

What fence suits a modern house?
Matching a traditional fence with a modern new build home isn’t going to translate well. Finding a style of modern fencing, that suits your more modern home is easy at the Warner showrooms, where our experts can guide you through the options. 

From square slats in stark whites and blacks, to chic panel-style gates, privacy slats and endless options to customise the directions, gap size, extrusion, placement and more. Your bespoke home can have fencing, and gates, that are entirely unique to it, and unique to your lifestyle needs. If you are working with an architect, they will advise on stylistic choices that meet your practical needs – finding a modern fence for windy areas looks very different to finding one for a traditional style home. If you don’t have an architect guiding you, feel free to chat with our team about the practical nature of each gate style to ensure you are getting the right fit for your property.

Our range of contemporary/architectural gates can be a great place to start when deciding on the fencing you might match into.

How to match a fence style to your house?
We can thankfully extrude aluminium in a truly vast variety of styles, but sometimes too many choices become hard to pick from. Our 3D modelling tool on our website allows you to upload photos and see what our different styles might look like in your property.

At Warner our experts know how to improve street appeal with fencing – because they visit thousands of homes each year. Talk with them about your lifestyle needs, because a privacy fence that allows airflow will look very different to a fully solid option designed to block views and maximise seclusion.

What styles of architectural fences & gates does Warner make?
We make all of our fences and gates in our Christchurch factory with NZ aluminium, and we can make most any style you like! These are some of our most popular modern styles that suit architectural homes:

Square Extruded Tubular Fencing
Square extruded tubular fencing offers a bold, geometric evolution of traditional tubular designs. Featuring sharp right-angle edges and a substantial profile, it creates a robust boundary that keeps children and pets safely inside without obscuring architectural views or trapping wind. Engineered for maximum strength, it provides an ideal option for front boundaries, pool surrounds, and pedestrian entry gates.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Aluminium slat fencing delivers a linear, understated aesthetic that complements modern cladding styles like cedar, standing-seam metal, or modern plaster finish. By selecting the precise gap width between slats, you control the level of transparency and privacy. Slats can be oriented horizontally to visually widen a property’s street presence or vertically to add height, providing a low-maintenance front fence that enhances overall property value.

Louvre Fencing
For windy coastal areas or exposed sites across New Zealand, louvre fencing provides an engineered balance of shelter and ventilation. The fixed angled blades block direct sightlines from the street while allowing prevailing winds to pass through smoothly. This aerodynamic design reduces wind loading on structural posts while creating a high-end, solid privacy wall appearance.

Vertical Fin Fencing
Architectural fin fencing relies on deep vertical blades to create a dynamic visual impact. As people pass your property, the fence seamlessly shifts from open to solid based on the viewing angle. This dynamic profile adds dimensional depth to modern entryways and front boundaries, offering an elite architectural look while maintaining compliance with local council boundary height and visibility regulations.

Engineered for New Zealand Conditions
Every Warner architectural fence is custom-built to your exact project specifications and finished with high-durability powder coating to withstand local UV and marine conditions. 

Backed by over 30 years of local manufacturing expertise and a 3-year warranty, our teams assist with design, compliance, and expert installation to ensure your fence looks exceptional for decades.
