Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of swing gates?
Swing gates offer a clean, traditional look and are ideal for properties with space to open inward or outward. They’re often easier to install than sliding gates and can be automated or operated manually depending on your needs. Swing gates are well-suited to residential driveways, garden entrances and rural access points, and they come in a variety of styles and materials to match your home or landscape.
Can swing gates be automated?
Yes – swing gates can be fitted with motors and automation systems to open and close remotely. You can choose from options like keypad entry, remote controls or even smart access apps. The type of motor will depend on the gate’s size, weight and how frequently it’s used. Automated swing gates improve convenience and security, and can include safety features like obstacle sensors or auto-close timers.
How much space do swing gates need?
Swing gates generally require space equal to the full length of the gate leaf to open freely, plus a little clearance for smooth movement. A standard single swing gate might need around 3 to 4 metres of open space behind it, depending on width and the angle of the swing. Double swing gates split that space across two sides but still need a clear area free of obstructions like slopes, trees or driveways that angle upward.
The space needed also depends on whether the gate opens inwards or outwards (inwards is more common). If space is tight, a sliding gate or custom swing gate setup may be a better fit. During a site inspection, we’ll measure everything and guide you to the right option for your layout.
