Specifications

Material Clarification

The supplier calls this a wrought-iron gate but identifies the structural material as hot-dip galvanized Q195 steel. It is more accurately described as a wrought-iron-inspired ornamental steel gate rather than one made from traditional wrought iron.

Driveway and Installation Planning

The listed 11.8-foot gate width does not necessarily equal the finished clear driveway opening. Actual clearance depends on the dimensions of each leaf, post size, hinge placement, center gap, latching hardware, and installation layout.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Exact dimensions and weight of each gate leaf
• Required clear driveway width
• Post size and spacing
• Footing depth and concrete requirements
• Included hinge and latch components
• Available swing radius
• Ground slope and drainage
• Desired opening direction
• Local permits, setbacks, and safety requirements

Both gate leaves require an unobstructed travel path. Sloped or uneven driveways may require specialized hinges, modified posts, or a different gate configuration.

Automation Considerations

Automatic gate equipment is not identified as included. If powered operation is desired, select a dual-swing operator rated for the length, weight, wind exposure, and operating frequency of each leaf.

A complete powered system may also require photo eyes, sensing edges, access controls, emergency-release provisions, warning devices, and professionally installed electrical service.

Livestock, Security, and Privacy Notice

The horse design is decorative and should not be treated as a livestock-containment feature. Confirm all openings and clearances against the size and behavior of horses, pets, or other animals on the property.

This gate can help control driveway access when paired with appropriate fencing, posts, latches, locks, and installation. It is not a complete security system, and its ornamental construction does not provide full visual privacy.

Finish and Maintenance

Inspect the powder-coated surface regularly. Repair chips, scratches, or areas of exposed steel promptly to preserve the protective finish and reduce the risk of corrosion.

Keep hinges, latches, stops, and automation components properly adjusted and maintained.
