Both can be built to match any fence material — aluminum, vinyl, or wood — and paired with access control options including keypads, remote transmitters, and smartphone-based systems.
What to consider
Automatic gates need access to power at the gate location and benefit from periodic maintenance of the motor and moving hardware, similar to a garage door opener. We cover what each access control option involves as part of your free estimate. See our fence cost guide for gate pricing.
Automatic Gates FAQ
What's the difference between a swing gate and a slide gate?
A swing gate opens on hinges, like a door, and needs enough clear space on the inside of the driveway to swing open. A slide gate rolls open sideways along a track and is often the better fit for narrow, sloped, or space-constrained driveways.
Do automatic gates need a permit?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by what the gate is attached to. See our fence permits guide for how permitting works in Sarasota and Manatee County, and we'll confirm what applies to your specific project.
What access control options are available for automatic gates?
Common options include wireless remote transmitters, keypad entry, and smartphone app or intercom-based access, often combined so that residents, guests, and deliveries can each use a different method.
Can an automatic gate be added to an existing fence?
In most cases, yes, as long as the existing posts and layout can support the gate hardware and operator. We'll assess your existing fence as part of your free estimate.
