Low height, iron electric gates

longwalks1

am looking at possibly getting some low (maybe waist height) wrought iron electric gates fitted to the driveway of a place I'm buying, width is probably 2 1/2 car widths in total (maybe 5 or 6 metres) so each gate 3m wide, by 1m high? I have no idea at all on cost, was wondering what I should expect to pay?

Thanks in advance

Have you heard of Google?

I've just had some made. 2 gates 2m * 900mm, 2 railings 1.5m * 900mm, 1 gate 800mm * 950mm and 2 100mm posts. Cost £1100 inc vat.

Another £500 for galvanising and powder coating.

The electric kit was £480 with a GSM kit so they can be opened with a mobile phone.

All prices were supply only as I am fitting them myself.

I just used a local company for the gates and galvanising, and remotecontrolgates.co.uk for the electric kit although it is cheaper to buy it from them on eBay than on their website, but if you phone them they will match the eBay price.

I suggested these people for garage doors, a few days ago, they also do gates.

They are in luton but I'm sure they would be worth contacting, if you are not the other end of the world!

Just to be picky there not wrought iron, they would be mild steel.

About any steel fabricator in the country could make gates and railings, although most, myself included tend to avoid as it tends to be badly paid.

Cost depends on the design, and finish. So to price is impossible. Fitting cost would also depend on a number of factors.

Tbh I wouldn't mess with any other automation gear than CAME, it is fit and forget. Some of the ebay stuff is rubbish, to boot when you need to replace elements ie keypads, activators. Then your be high and dry, lightning storms are common to kill various parts.
