Electric Gates
Eastleigh.
Bespoke electric gates in Eastleigh designed, manufactured and installed for homes, private driveways and secure entrances across Eastleigh, Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Horton Heath, Boyatt Wood, Allbrook, Colden Common and nearby areas.
Electric Gates Designed for Eastleigh Homes and Driveways
Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs electric gates across Eastleigh and the surrounding area, with systems designed for the way local properties are actually laid out. Around central Eastleigh, entrances are often closer to the road, parking space can be tight and the gate movement needs to be planned carefully.
In areas such as Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Horton Heath, Boyatt Wood and Allbrook, we also see wider residential driveways, sloping approaches and larger entrances where gate weight, wind exposure, cable routes and access control need more detailed planning.
We build each system around the entrance. That includes the gate design, posts, hinges or track, automation, access control, safety equipment and final commissioning, so the finished installation is practical for everyday use rather than just visually suitable.
Electric Gates for Residential and Secure Entrances Around Eastleigh
Eastleigh driveways often need a more considered gate layout than a standard open rural entrance. Some homes have limited driveway depth, parked vehicles close to the gate line, or entrances positioned near a pavement or road. In those cases, the automation and safety layout must be planned properly.
For shorter driveways around Eastleigh and Boyatt Wood, a sliding gate or carefully positioned swing gate may help preserve usable parking space. For wider entrances around Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Horton Heath, we may recommend stronger posts, steel-framed construction, intercom planning and a more robust automation setup.
We specify the gate system around everyday use, including school-run traffic, visitor entry, delivery access, pedestrian movement, vehicle turning space and how close the gate is to the public road.
Electric Gate Systems We Install in Eastleigh
The right system depends on the driveway layout, available opening space, gate weight, access control requirements and how the entrance is used day to day.
Swing Gates
Electric swing gates suit many Eastleigh homes where there is enough driveway space for safe opening and closing.
Sliding Gates
Sliding electric gates can help where driveway depth is limited, the entrance is wider or swing gates would interfere with parking.
Automation
We specify motors, control panels and safety equipment around the gate size, weight, usage level and site layout.
Access Control
Keypads, remotes, fobs, GSM intercoms, video entry and app-based access can be included where required.
Electric Gate Designs Suitable for Eastleigh Entrances
Different Eastleigh properties need different gate styles. We can build timber-clad gates, composite gates, wrought iron-style gates and sliding gate systems depending on the entrance layout, finish and automation requirements.

How Much Do Electric Gates Cost in Eastleigh?
As a guide, a complete electric swing gate installation in Eastleigh will often sit between £6,500 and £15,000+. Electric sliding gates are usually higher because they often need more groundwork, stronger support, track or cantilever hardware and heavier automation equipment.
Automating existing gates can cost less if the current gates, posts and hinges are suitable. If the existing gate structure is weak, badly aligned or not safe to automate, a purpose-built system is normally the better long-term option.

Why Eastleigh Customers Choose Perimeter Fencing and Gates
We are not just fitting motors to gates. We design the complete entrance system so the gate, frame, posts, automation, safety setup and access control work together properly.
That matters on Eastleigh properties where space, road position, pavement proximity and parking layout can affect the right gate choice. A suitable installation needs the right structure, automation and safety setup from the start, especially where vehicles need to wait clear of the road while the gate opens.
We keep the process straightforward: survey the entrance, specify the correct system, provide a clear quotation and install the gate to a professional standard.
Electric Gate Safety Comes First
Electric gates are powered machines. A safe installation needs more than a motor and a remote control. The system must be specified around safe movement, pedestrian protection, vehicle access, force limitation and reliable stopping.
We allow for suitable safety equipment such as photocells, safety edges, correct force settings and professional commissioning where required by the gate design and site layout.
We follow HSE electric gate safety guidelines to ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
From Eastleigh Site Survey to Installation
We survey the entrance first so the gate system is specified correctly rather than guessed from a photo.
1. Site Survey
We inspect the opening, driveway layout, ground levels, power options, access requirements and any existing gates or posts.
2. Specification
We recommend the most suitable gate type, materials, automation, access controls and safety equipment for the entrance.
3. Quotation
You receive a clear quotation based on the agreed specification, so you know what is included before work begins.
4. Installation
We install, commission and set up the gate system so it is ready for everyday use.
