Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best materials for gates in coastal environments like Forster?
Aluminium and marine-grade stainless steel are both ideal for coastal use. They resist corrosion, require less maintenance than timber or mild steel, and are lightweight yet strong. Powder coating adds an extra layer of protection. These materials also offer design flexibility, making them suitable for privacy, decorative, or high-security gates.
Can automatic gates be installed on a slope or uneven driveway?
Yes, but it requires a specific approach. Sliding gates might not work well on a sloped driveway, while swinging gates can be installed with special hinges or raked bottoms. Automation also needs to be adjusted to match the incline. It’s best to get the site assessed to determine the right mechanism and setup.
Do automated gates need regular servicing?
Absolutely. Like any mechanical system, automated gates benefit from regular checks. This includes inspecting the motor, sensors, safety features and overall alignment. Servicing helps prevent unexpected failures, especially in exposed coastal locations where salt can affect components over time. A yearly check-up is usually enough to keep them running smoothly.
How wide should a driveway gate be for standard vehicles?
Most single-lane residential driveways need a gate width between 3 to 3.5 metres to allow enough clearance for cars. If you’re using the space for trailers or caravans, you might need up to 4 metres. Measuring the actual space with room for turning radius is key before choosing a gate size.
