What Kind Of Driveway Gate Do I Need?
Posted by RCFD on September 24, 2019What good is a perimeter fence if strangers can drive right up to your home?
Adding a gate to your home’s border is the best way to keep out unexpected guests; anyone from would-be thieves to nosy neighbors. But there are lots of details to consider before ordering your new gate. Most important is the decision between a sliding and a swinging gate.
The entryway to your property will dictate the kind of gate you need. Sliding gates require less room to use, since they just slide along your already-existing fence line. As long as the ground along your fence is level and there are no obstructions, installation is fairly straightforward.
A swing gate is usually less expensive and lower maintenance, but you’ll need to look at deciding factors like:
-
Little or no incline on your driveway
-
Clearance for your car to park while you wait for the gate to open (on both sides of the gate)
-
Manual and mechanical options for ease of use
