Planning guide · Gates & Access
A better entrance starts with a plan.
What to consider before adding an estate gate or automated entrance.
Make space for movement
Consider the driveway grade, gate swing or slide space, and room for vehicles to wait clear of the road. Include deliveries and service vehicles in the conversation.
Coordinate the system
A gate, its supports, the operator, controls, and power supply need to work together. Discuss automation from the beginning if it is part of the plan.
Think through the seasons
Snow clearance, drainage, manual release, and access during outages are useful topics for the site visit.
