Sliding vs Swing Driveway Gates: Which One to Choose?

We supply and install both swinging and sliding gates in Perth and beyond. The style you choose will depend on a few factors, including space, terrain, security and your budget. Here’s what to consider for each option:

Sliding Driveway Gates

Good for wide access points

Sliding gates are a good choice if you have a wide access point on your property – in this situation, a wide swinging gate would require (often costly) heavy-duty framing to account for extra weight and eliminate sag.

Good for sloping ground

Sloped ground can prevent a swinging gate from being able to fully open and can create gaps underneath that present a risk for children and pets.

Better for verge entries

Council restrictions may prevent you from having a swinging gate that opens outwards. Unless you have space inside your property to allow for an opening gate, a sliding gate may be a better choice.

More secure

Sliding gates are usually harder to open, which may offer more security benefits for your property.

Tracks require more maintenance

Remember that you’ll need to ensure the tracks of your sliding gate are free from debris to prevent your gate from jamming.

Cheaper to automate

If you want to enjoy the convenience of an electric gate, sliding gates are usually more affordable to automate.

Driveway Swing Gates

Good for narrow entry points

If the front of your property is narrow, it may not be possible to install a sliding gate – this is because the sliding mechanism requires more than double the width of your gate to be able to open fully. A double swinging gate might be a more compact option if there’s limited space at the front or back of your entrance.

Usually cheaper to install

Driveway swing gates are generally more budget-friendly than sliding options when using the same materials.

More expensive to automate

As swinging gates are usually heavier than sliding and require more heavy-duty opening mechanisms, they can be more costly to automate.

Classic look

Driveway swing gates are often considered to be more classic and ‘grand’ looking than modern sliding gates.

Should You Choose a Manual or Automatic Driveway Gate for Your Perth Home?

There’s nothing quite like the convenience of an electric gate, but there are a few things to think about when deciding between a manual or electric gate for your Perth property.

1. Budget

Unfortunately, convenience comes at a price – a motorised electric gate will cost more to install than a manual gate. Sliding gates are usually more affordable to automate than swinging gates, so keep this in mind when making your decision.

2. Frequency of use

If you’re using the gate frequently, it may be worth investing in the automatic option. This will save the hassle of manually opening and closing the gate multiple times daily, which can be particularly irritating if you need to get in and out of the car in the rain. On the other hand, automation might be unnecessary if you don’t use the gate often.

3. Security

Electric gates can offer additional security benefits depending on the motor tech. For example, the Centsys D5 SMART motor has a vibration sensor that can notify you if the motor is being tampered with during an attempted break-in.

Should You Choose a Manual or Automatic Driveway Gate for Your Perth Home?

Automatic driveway gates are so convenient, and there are many ways to customise your gate with accessories such as wireless touchpads, fobs, photocells, battery backups, racks and more. We can automate gates made from Colorbond, PVC pickets or panels, aluminium slats, vertical blades and other materials to suit your home and fence.

A reliable motor is essential for your electric gate – the last thing you need is to get stuck running back and forth trying to manually open your gate in the weather. We work with quality automation brands such as Centsys for your peace of mind. The Centsys D5 SMART motor is one of our most popular options, as it offers fast opening speeds, long battery backup, app connectivity, easy programming and security sensors.
