Automated Gates
The Benefits
Here are some reasons why property owners benefit from strong automated gates from Thomas Fence!
Secure
Installing a solid automated gate with your new fence is the difference between a secured property and an unprotected one. With a secure fence gate, intruders cannot enter your space without breaking or scaling it, which is a great deterrent and one that can keep your family and pets safe inside.
Decorative
Use your automated gate as an added enhancement to your fence design and appearance by opting for a decorative style to match your unique taste and property. You can design your fence gate with flourishes in traditional or modern looks based on what you like best.
Convenient
An automated gate in the perfect size and location within your fence creates the convenient access you need to get where you’re going. Gates can be placed on multiple sides of your fence, or just one main location. You can choose double swing gates or single and adjust the width of the gate opening for walking or driving through.

Here are some typical gate options you will need to consider for a new fence installation.
Single/Standard Gates: This single-door gate is usually the same height as the rest of the fence and has one swinging door, which is typically only big enough for one person to walk through. This gate should be reinforced to keep it from sagging and warping, and the latch system should be strategically placed.
Double Gates: While many people opt for a standard gate to allow guests to walk through, they often like to have an additional double gate to allow easy entry for larger items, such as lawn maintenance equipment or recreational vehicles.
Drive Gates: Residential driveway gates add a stunning entry to the property and can be installed with automatic openers. Commercial properties often require secure access entry and the extra security will protect your employees and assets.
Pool Gates: Although gates and fences can be decorative, their main purpose is to provide security and keep your family safe. When considering a gate for your pool area, keep in mind that many municipalities already have regulations in place, and the experts at Thomas Fence will ensure that your pool gate will meet those requirements.
We’re proud to offer our optional Lifetime Guaranteed Gates that boast extra heavy-duty posts and a heavy-duty frame. We use custom-welded 1½” galvanized square tubing to reinforce your wood gate so that it will not sag or warp, and we guarantee it for the life of your fence. This type of reinforcement also works well for gates built on slopes.
Many of our residential and commercial clients choose to have more than one gate for various reasons. You may want to consider more than one gate to allow for extra access points to your property, or you might also need a separate, wider entry point for automobiles, recreational vehicles, access for lawn care equipment, or for leisure activities.
Although gates and fences can certainly be decorative, one of their main purposes is to provide security and keep your family safe. When considering a gate for your pool area, keep in mind that many municipalities have regulations in place that require a gate that meets very specific requirements for pool safety. The experts at Thomas Fence will ensure that your pool gate will meet those requirements.
