Prioritizing Privacy with a Custom Driveway Gate in Orlando

If you’re like most people in the United States, you’re somebody who values your privacy. It is completely reasonable to expect your home – or even your place of business – to be a private space away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, while most people will respect your privacy and leave you alone, others will try to encroach into your space and disturb you. This is one area where a driveway gate is useful. Depending on the design of the gate, it could stop people from seeing into your property completely, and in other situations, it will at least deter people from being able to easily peek in.

Safety and Security

Nosy individuals who are trying to sneak a look into your property is one thing, but trespassers who want to enter your property is something entirely different. It only takes one nefarious-minded individual to cause issues. A driveway gate can be a sturdy defense against these invaders. First and foremost, they are a strong physical barrier, preventing any kind of easy entry onto the site. Secondly, they’re a strong deterrent, putting off opportunistic criminals in the first place.

Gate Styles and Materials

As with our custom design handrail installations, you have plenty of options in terms of style and materials when you decide to install a driveway gate. Wrought iron, aluminum, and steel are all well-worn options for driveway gates, but there are several other considerations we can run through with you. If you are unsure about what might work for your property, our design specialists can offer a guiding hand.

As for style, sometimes the property dictates the design or type of gate, but sometimes choices are available. The most popular versions today for residential customers are slide gates. These typically work by having the gate roll along a track and move perpendicular to the driveway or entry so the gate slides aside as you enter and exit. These are also referred to as v-track gates and rolling gates.

The next most common automatic gate option is a swing gate. While very affordable and dependent upon simple machinery, the largest downside to this style is that a lot of space is needed for them to swing outwards. If the driveway is on a hill has very limited room, this version may not be an option. Should you have any question about if it is possible, we'd be happy to come out and take a look at the property. It's what we do.

Automation

Some of the most luxurious-looking gates have a call boxes at the entries, numbered keypads or push-button remote control entry. While these options are impressive, the price nowadays does not need to be reserved for the 1%. Automatic gates have come down in price considerably as they have become more popular and easier to construct and fix. Point being, they may not be so "out of reach" as you imagine anymore. We can pull from a wide array of brands such as CO-Z, Might Mule, Topens, Ghost Control and more to give your entry way an upgrade.
