Gate Installation Videos

Watch Thomas Fence gate crews in action across Northwest Arkansas — cantilever slides, swing gates, pivot gates, and farm gates installed in Springdale, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Garfield, and beyond.

Every video on this page is a real Thomas Fence job, filmed on site. The cantilever gates slide on a track with no wheel in the driveway, which is why they are the usual choice for commercial entrances and sloped drives. The swing gates are the residential standard for estate entrances in Bentonville, Rogers and Springdale. The pivot gates serve self storage and industrial sites that open many times a day. The farm gates sit where no electrical service reaches the road, which is where solar powered operators earn their place. Each one was built and automated by our Certified Gate Automation Technician, and the automated gates page explains how each operator type works and what it costs to run.

Why Contractors Choose Cantilever Gates Over Swing Gates

The key differences between cantilever and swing gates — and why most installers default to cantilever for long-term reliability.

Swing gates are the residential standard for estate entrances in Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville. The seven here are ornamental steel and custom entry gates on swing operators. The styles, materials and geotagged project photos are on the estate gates page and in the estate gates photo gallery.

A pivot gate lifts and turns on a single post, which suits self storage and industrial sites that open dozens of times a day and have no room for a slide track. The Centerton self storage gates in the photo gallery are this type. Access control and operator options are covered on the automated gates page.

Pivot Gate

Pivot gates open from the center — ideal for sites where a full swing arc or cantilever clearance isn't available.

Custom Pivot Gate

A custom pivot gate engineered for a site where standard swing or slide options weren't feasible. Thomas Fence finds a solution.

Farm gates in Northwest Arkansas often sit where no electrical service reaches the road, and Thomas Fence installs solar powered operators for exactly that. These six, in Fayetteville, Garfield and across the region, pair with the field fence, barbed wire and rail fencing on the farm fencing page, and the acreage projects in the farm fencing photo gallery.
