1. Gate Mechanics: Slide vs. Swing The "movement" of your gate determines its speed, longevity, and how much space you lose in your entryway. Swing Gates (The Classic Look) Average Cost: $15,000 – $25,000 (per pair). Pros: Highly aesthetic, "stately" feel; generally simpler motors. Cons: Slower to open; requires a massive "arc" of clear space to swing into; high wind resistance (wind can strain or "sail" the motors). Space Needs: You need a clear radius equal to the width of the gate leaf (usually 10'–12') behind the gate. Slide Gates (The Workhorse) Average Cost: $18,000 – $35,000 (per pair). Pros: Faster cycle time (better for high traffic); much better in windy areas; takes up zero "swing" space. Cons: Requires a long, straight fence line to slide back into; tracks can get clogged with debris, snow, or ice (unless using a "Cantilever" system, which is more expensive). Space Needs: You need a "storage" area along the fence line equal to the width of the gate plus about 30% for the counter-balance.
