Gate Designs

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.
