Vinyl Driveway & Rolling Gates in Los Angeles

Swing leaves need room to arc open. If your driveway is deep enough that a leaf can open inward without hitting a parked car, a double swing gate gives you the classic wide entrance and the simplest hardware. On a short driveway, a steep grade, or a lot where the gate would swing toward the street, that clearance simply is not there.

A rolling gate solves that. It glides sideways on a track instead of swinging out, so it works where a swing gate cannot — but it needs enough flat fence or wall space alongside the opening for the gate to park into when it is open. Our project designer measures your driveway and the available side clearance during the free on-site estimate and tells you honestly which one your property supports.

If you would rather not get out of the car, plan for the operator before the frame is built — a motorized gate needs a heavier frame, posts set deeper in concrete, and a power source run to the opening. We spec the motor to the leaf weight and always recommend photo-eye safety sensors so the gate stops rather than closing on a vehicle, a pet or a person.

Permits and property line markings are the homeowner's responsibility, though we are happy to guide you through what your local jurisdiction may require and provide the project drawings you may need for submission. Most driveway gate installations are completed in one to two days once fabrication is finished.

A driveway gate lives in full sun and takes every gust that comes down the street. Vinyl is UV-stabilized so it holds its color instead of yellowing, and it will not rot, rust or warp the way wood and iron do at exactly the stress points where a wide gate needs to stay true.

Maintenance is a rinse with the hose — no sanding, no repainting, no rust treatment on the hardware. The reinforced frame carries a limited lifetime warranty, and the adjustable stainless steel hinges let us re-true the gate years later if the driveway settles.
