Gate Designs

At Automated Gates Ltd, our in-house design team will visit your property to discuss your specific needs. Since every automated gate system we create is unique to both the customer and the environment, reviewing the following considerations before our design team arrives will help streamline the process and ensure you get the most from your new system.

Things To Consider

Your Requirements: Determine what you need from the system.
 

Aesthetics: Ensure the new system enhances your property’s appearance.
 

Off-the-Peg or Bespoke: Choose from our range of off-the-peg styles, from simple wooden three-bar gates to elaborate metal gates, or opt for a bespoke design tailored to your exact specifications.
 

Existing Gate/System: Assess whether your current gate is suitable and if your old system is worth upgrading.
 

Supporting Structures: Check if existing walls or posts can handle the stress of an automated gate.
 

Ground Work: Evaluate if the ground can support a gate system or if it needs reinforcement.
 

Building Work: Decide if you prefer our crew to work while you're present or schedule major work for when you’re away, such as on holiday.
 

Operators: Select suitable operators for your gate, considering factors like security level and whether you want them hidden.
 

Audio/Visual System: Consider if you want to hear and see who is at the gate.
 

CCTV/Security: Decide if you want to integrate property security to monitor gate activity, including options like number plate reading and viewing images on your TV screen.
 

Access Control: Choose how you’d like to open the gate, whether automatically, via keypad, or with a fob.
 

Safety Features: Identify necessary safety features, especially if you have children or pets, or if the gate will be used by the public.
 

Cable Runs: Determine the best way to run cables to avoid damage from vehicles, rodents, or environmental conditions. Check if you currently have underground ducts.
 

Noise and Vibrations: Consider potential impacts on you or your neighbours, especially if there are interconnecting walls.
 

Power Failure: Plan for power cuts—decide if you’re comfortable manually opening the gates or if you want a backup system.
 

Planning Permission: Verify if you need planning permission, especially if you live in a conservation area or a listed house.
 

Time Scale: Set a timeline for fitting the gate system, particularly if it needs to align with other contracts.
