Swing Gates – Iron/Aluminum

Access Gates offers a wide variety of swing gate operators for different applications. Depending on your particular situation and needs, with our experience we can arrive at the right solution for you.

Iron is heavy and durable, these gates provide security while allowing an open view of your property. Iron finishes will require maintenance to avoid rust and weathering.

Aluminum is lightweight, sturdy, and stylish. Finished with a powder coating, its finish is maintenance free. Since it is lightweight, easier and quicker to lift, slide, and swing – aluminum is the primary choice for general gates.

Swing Gates – Wood

Just like a door, a swing gate opens by swinging out or in; therefore, the entranceway must have sufficient space for the gate to swing fully open. Also consider any pedestrian path that may collide with the opening gate.

Wood material provides the unique features and grain pattern of the specific wood you choose. It will weather and age gracefully if maintained properly. Wood typically requires three coats of paint or stain about every few years.
