Questions homeowners ask

Why are cantilever gates so popular on rural Irish driveways?

Because rural one-off entrances usually have plenty of front boundary wall space for the 35% counterbalance tail, and are often surfaced in stone chippings, tar-and-chip or cambered tarmac where a ground rail would trap stones or require digging up the entrance.

Do cantilever gate prices vary across the 26 counties?

Fabrication, monorail carriage hardware and motor prices are consistent across Ireland (€3,800 to €6,800 for electric steel, €4,800 to €8,500 for electric aluminium), with site differences depending on opening span and whether a new concrete counterbalance pad (€600 to €2,000) is required.
