Automatic Gates
Automatic Gates Perth
Looking to enjoy the convenience and security of an electric gate for your home or business? Team Stagfencing specialises in custom electric gate installations across Perth, Bunbury, and the South West. Whether you’re after a motorised sliding gate or an electric swing gate, we provide tailored solutions to meet your needs. Choose from hardwired or solar-powered options, and automate gates made from materials like Colorbond, PVC vinyl, aluminium slats, blade fencing, or custom steel, iron, and aluminium to complement your existing fence.
Which is Better, a Motorised Sliding Gate or Automatic Swing Gate?
- The space available and the size of your entrance
- The terrain around your property, especially if it’s sloped
- The level of security you require
- Your budget
An electric sliding gate might be a better option if:
- You have a wide entrance (automating wide swinging gates can be challenging)
- Your property is on sloping ground that would interfere with a swinging gate’s operation
- You have council restrictions or a verge entry that prevents outward-opening gates
- You need enhanced security
- You’re looking for a more cost-effective automation solution (sliding gates are generally cheaper to automate)
This ensures that you get the right gate for your property, both in terms of function and cost.
Power Options: Hardwired vs Solar Electric Gate Openers
There are several power options available for your electric gate opener. We can install solar-powered systems or hardwired solutions with battery backup, depending on factors like your location, access to mains power, and the amount of sunlight your property receives.
No matter which option you choose, it’s essential to invest in a durable and reliable automatic gate opener. You don’t want to be stuck getting in and out of your car, especially during busy mornings or rainy weather. That’s why we recommend using high-quality Centsys D5 SMART or D10 motors for most of our automatic gate installations across Perth.
Solar Powered Electric Gate Openers
Consider installing solar panels with your electric gate motor if the gate is located in a sunny area. Solar power is an excellent way to reduce ongoing energy costs and eliminates the need to run wires from your gate to the main power supply—perfect for gates at the end of long driveways.
Our experienced team can help you assess whether solar power is a suitable option based on your location, sunlight exposure, and how often you plan to use the gate. We’ll also recommend the ideal battery size to match your usage needs.
Hardwired Electric Gate Openers
For gates that are frequently used, such as those at commercial properties, hardwiring is an excellent choice. We recommend the Centsys D5 SMART motor for residential driveway gates, while the heavy-duty Centsys D10 motor is ideal for commercial applications. Both of these electric gate motors come equipped with battery backups to ensure reliable operation during power outages.
