Driveway Gates

Bi fold gates mean 2 operators, ie. twice the chances of a malfunction or false opening. Having said that, I have installed many double gate operators and have had good service from them. My preference in entrance gates is a sliding gate. These allow for wide openings (up to 40') and are very reliable. Additionally if the gate does not operate (and one day it won't) they are easy to disable and operate manually. Operator brands are appollo, GTO, my personal favorite.....Lift Master (Mega-Slide) and several others. All can be solar powered, but if you can get power to the gate life is alot better.

Hey Mike I agree the bi fold gate would not be my choose either. I have a slider 14' opening did it myself and has worked perfectly now for 5 yrs.I suggest a good one don't go cheep, if you need a dealer call me and i'll give you there name,they sold me all the materials and also helped with info when I was putting it in.

I build and install any gate you can think of, deer gates, ornamental and custom, contact info below.

Hey Mike,



I agree with the sliding. Andy Foor has the same gate at his place, and I think it is the best.

I have always used Apollo.But I am putting in a new slider gate in at my entrance.Has anyone ever heard of elite gate openers?
