GATE TYPES & OPTIONS

The right gate for
your property.

Every property is different. From simple pedestrian access to large automated driveway gates, Hallmark Fencing can design and install a gate solution around your space, security requirements and budget.

01

Double Swing Gates

A classic and versatile option for driveway entrances. Two gate leafs open inwards or outwards, creating a wide access point for vehicles.

Best for Traditional homes, wide driveways and properties with plenty of space behind the gate.
Pros Simple design · Wide opening · Great street appeal · Available manually or automated
Consider Requires enough room for the gate leaves to swing open.
02

Single Swing Gates

A single gate leaf provides a clean and practical entrance where a full double gate isn't required.

Best for Narrow driveways, smaller entrances and pedestrian or light vehicle access.
Pros Simple installation · Clean appearance · Cost-effective · Easy to automate
Consider A large single leaf can become heavy and require substantial hinges and automation.
03

Sliding Gates

Sliding gates move sideways along the fence line rather than swinging into the driveway, making them an excellent option where opening space is limited.

Best for Sloping driveways, tight entrances, commercial sites and properties with limited swing space.
Pros Space efficient · Excellent for automation · Strong security option · Handles larger openings
Consider Requires sufficient clear fence line beside the driveway for the gate to slide into.
04

Cantilever Gates

A cantilever sliding gate is supported from a roller system rather than running on a track across the ground. This makes it particularly useful for certain commercial and challenging entrance conditions.

Best for Commercial properties, security entrances and sites where a ground track isn't practical.
Pros No ground track · Smooth operation · Good security · Suitable for larger gates
Consider Requires additional structure and clearance behind the gate, making it more involved than a standard sliding gate.
05

Pedestrian Gates

A pedestrian gate provides convenient foot access while keeping your main driveway entrance secure and separate.

Best for Homes, side access, gardens, pools, commercial properties and secure pedestrian entrances.
Pros Convenient · Compact · Easy to customise · Can match your fencing
Consider Hardware and latch selection should suit the level of security and frequency of use.
06

Automated Gates

Automated gates provide convenient vehicle access at the touch of a button while adding an additional layer of security and control to your property.

Best for Residential driveways, lifestyle properties, commercial sites and security entrances.
Pros Convenient · Secure · Remote access · Professional appearance
Consider Choosing the right automation system is important for reliable operation, especially with larger or frequently used gates.
MATERIALS & FINISHES

Match your gate to your fence.

Gates can be designed to complement your existing fence or form part of a complete new fencing system.

Timber Warm, natural and versatile.
Aluminium Modern, lightweight and low maintenance.
Steel Strong and suited to security and heavy-duty applications.
Custom Designed around your property and requirements.
FIND THE RIGHT GATE

Which gate is
right for you?

The best gate depends on your driveway, available space, level changes, access requirements and how you want to use it. Here's a simple guide to help narrow down the options.

↔

I have plenty of space

A double swing gate is often a great choice for a traditional driveway with enough room for the gates to open.

→

I don't have much space

A sliding gate can be ideal when there isn't enough room for a gate to swing into the driveway or property.

→ Sliding Gate
⌁

My driveway slopes

Sloping entrances can affect how a gate operates. A sliding or specially designed gate may provide a better solution depending on the site.

→ Sliding / Custom Gate
●

I want automatic access

Automated swing or sliding gates allow you to open your driveway gate remotely without leaving your vehicle.

▯

I only need pedestrian access

A dedicated pedestrian gate provides convenient foot access while keeping your main driveway secure.

I need a larger security gate

Commercial and security entrances may require a heavier-duty sliding or cantilever gate designed around the site and level of use.

→ Sliding / Cantilever Gate
NOT SURE?
