Buying a Trellis Door in Wynberg — What’s Included
Measured, built to the reveal, fitted and adjusted, in one quoted price. In Wynberg the trellis is very often the only configuration that will physically work, rather than a preference.
What We See Most Often on Wynberg Openings
Wynberg is where trellis doors solve problems nothing else can. The cottages around Chelsea Village and Maynardville have front doors opening onto narrow stoeps or straight onto the pavement, with a step directly outside. A hinged security gate has nowhere to go — outward it swings across a public footway, inward it fouls the entrance hall of a small cottage. A trellis stacks flat against the reveal and takes almost no space in either direction, which is why we fit more of them here than any other configuration.
The second Wynberg use is the side passage. Semi-detached and terraced cottages typically have a narrow passage down one side to the back yard, and that passage is the standard route to the unobserved rear of the property. Gating it at the street end is one of the highest-value things a Wynberg homeowner can do, and a retractable barrier is the right tool because the passage is often too narrow for a gate to swing.
Out-of-square reveals are the technical issue. These openings are rarely plumb, and a trellis that is tracked to the brickwork rather than to a level line will bind at one end and eventually stop running. We measure the reveal top and bottom and set the track level, packing where necessary. It is a small thing that determines whether the door still works in three years.
On appearance in the conservation area: a colour-matched track and door against existing joinery is far less conspicuous than standard white, and costs nothing extra provided it is specified before coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
My front door has no room to swing a gate — will a trellis work?
Yes, and it is the usual answer in Wynberg. A trellis stacks flat against the reveal, so it needs no swing space in either direction.
Can you gate the side passage to my back yard?
Yes, with a retractable barrier gate. On semi-detached cottages that passage is the standard route to the unobserved rear of the property, and gating it is high value.
My doorway isn’t square — will the door still run?
Yes, provided the track is set to a level line rather than to the brickwork. We measure the reveal top and bottom and pack accordingly.
I’m in the conservation area — can you match the finish?
Yes. A colour-matched track and door is far less conspicuous than standard white, and costs nothing extra if specified before coating.
How much does a trellis door cost to buy?
Cost depends on span, locking, and finish. Call 021 712 0484 for a free measured quote.
Is a warranty included?
Yes, covering the door, track, and locking mechanism.
