Most popular

Vertical pivot gates

Our flagship. The gate lifts straight up, so it needs almost no room to open. Ideal for short driveways and openings against walls, fences or boulders.

Why vertical

Made for real driveways

Most driveways aren’t flat, wide and empty. A vertical pivot gate handles the ones that aren’t.

1

Short driveways

No swing arc to keep clear, so a car can pull right up to the gate.

2

Snow country

The gate lifts for the plow. No shoveling out a swing radius first.

3

Walls, fences and slopes

The rackable panel collapses as it lifts, so it works right up against walls and fences.

Residential packages

Rackable panel

FAQ

Common questions

What are the advantages of a vertical pivot gate over a swing gate?
  • It works better in snow. The gate lifts for the plow instead of you shoveling out a swing radius first.
  • Lower risk of hitting a vehicle that pulls up too close.
  • It fits tighter spaces on your property.
  • It doesn’t need multiple safety loops cut into the road base.
Will a single gate be wide enough, or do I need a double gate?

A single gate covers a road span of up to 20 feet. A double gate system covers up to 40 feet.

Is this a DIY project, or do I need an installer?

Either. You and a partner can install it yourselves, or you can work with one of our recommended dealers and installers.

What colors are available?

We can powder coat almost any color. The most popular are satin black, textured black, copper vein and oil-rubbed bronze.
