The Different Kinds of Gates You can Install on your Land

You can’t have a property without an entrance, but there is more to think about than just installing a gate. There are a variety of gates to choose from including a manual gate, solar powered, automated, iron, double swing or single swing gates, and ornamental gates.

Manual Gates

Manual gates are cheaper and easier to repair than automatic gates, but are only as secure as the strength of the lock you put on it. Automatic gates provide convenience, ease of access to your property and more security. They also are considered an investment and could increase the value of the property.

Swing Gates

Swing gates are one of the safest and simplest options. They are quiet when moving and add protection to the property. The one disadvantage is that they utilize more space in the direction it opens. 

Solar Powered Gates

Solar powered gates can come in many forms so you are free to choose the design and security needs. They can be placed anywhere since they do not require additional power. Solar power is also naturally green and environmentally friendly. There are lower costs associated with the upkeep of solar powered gates. 

Ornamental Gates

Ornamental gates are a perfect choice if you want to put a bit of flare at the entrance to your land. These can come in a variety of types and it is up to you. Most consist of iron and are automated. Because these gates are customized for you, they are added costs and more expensive than others we have discussed.
