Driveway Gates
Fareham.
Looking for driveway gates in Fareham? Perimeter Fencing and Gates designs, builds and installs bespoke wooden gates, metal gates, swing gates and sliding driveway gates for homes across Fareham, Portchester, Stubbington, Titchfield and the surrounding coastal Hampshire area.
Bespoke Driveway Gates Built for Coastal Conditions
Fareham properties often need driveway gates that can handle practical daily use while still standing up to coastal weather, exposed approaches and changing conditions near the Solent. The right gate should improve privacy, security and kerb appeal without creating maintenance problems later.
We design gates around the entrance, not around standard catalogue sizes. That means the material, frame, posts, hinges, finish, opening direction and automation options are considered before the final gate design is agreed.
This page covers our wider driveway gate service in Fareham. For fully powered entrance systems, see our Electric Gates Fareham page. For automation on suitable existing gates, see our Gate Automation Fareham page.
Types of Driveway Gates We Install in Fareham
We design and install driveway gates in different materials and opening styles, depending on the entrance, property style, driveway space and exposure.
Wooden Gates
Wooden driveway gates suit Fareham homes where privacy, warmth and a traditional appearance are important. Hardwood and steel-framed timber designs are available.
Metal Gates
Metal driveway gates suit modern entrances and can be finished with durable coatings where coastal exposure and long-term protection need careful consideration.
Swing Gates
Swing gates can suit Fareham driveways where there is enough depth for the leaves to open safely without obstructing parking or vehicle access.
Sliding Gates
Sliding driveway gates can suit wider entrances, exposed approaches, sloped driveways or properties where swing gates would use too much space.
Wooden, Metal and Steel-Framed Driveway Gates
The right material depends on the property style, the level of privacy required, the exposure of the entrance and whether the gates will be manual or automated.

Sliding Gate Options
Designed Around Exposure, Access and Everyday Use
A driveway gate should not be chosen on appearance alone. Entrance width, ground levels, wind exposure, opening direction, parking space and long-term maintenance all affect the final specification.
If the gate is going to be automated, the design must also account for motor position, access control, cabling, safety devices and how vehicles approach the entrance.
We can advise whether a wooden, metal, steel-framed, swing or sliding gate is the most practical option for your Fareham property.
Manual Gates, Automation-Ready Gates or Fully Automated Entrances
Some Fareham homeowners want a manual driveway gate, while others want electric automation for convenience, privacy and controlled access.
If automation is required, the gate structure, posts, hinges or sliding hardware need to be suitable for powered movement. The system also needs appropriate access control and safety equipment.
We follow HSE powered gate safety guidance when specifying and installing automated gate systems.
