Fort Myers Fence and Gate Driveway Gates
Driveway Gates in Fort Myers, FL
Driveway gates close off the last open gap in a fenced Fort Myers property. Fort Myers Fence and Gate connects homeowners with local crews who build swing and slide driveway gates in aluminum, steel and vinyl-clad frames to match the fence, sized for cars, boats, trailers and RVs, and set up to add an opener now or later.

Swing or Slide?
Single Swing
One leaf that swings in. Simple, but it needs a clear arc the full width of the opening.
Double Swing
Two leaves meeting in the middle. Each leaf is shorter, so it sags less and needs less swing room.
Cantilever Slide
The gate rolls sideways on rollers mounted to posts, with no track on the ground. It needs side room about one and a half times the opening, but nothing in the drive to catch sand or debris.
Track Slide
The gate rides a ground track. It needs less side room but the track has to stay clean.
Fitting a Gate to Your Drive
Slope
A drive that rises toward the house can stop a swing gate mid-arc. A slide gate or an uphill-swinging design solves it.
Width
Measure what has to pass through: a truck, a boat trailer or an RV. Wider gates need heavier frames and posts.
Side Room
Walls, landscaping and the neighbor's fence decide whether a slide gate fits.
Future Automation
Even if you aren't adding an opener now, the gate frame, posts and a conduit for power can be planned for it. See automatic gate openers.
Materials
Aluminum
Matches aluminum fence, light enough for long spans, and won't rust.
Steel
Stronger and heavier for wide or security gates. Needs a good coating near the coast.
Vinyl-Clad
Privacy gates to match vinyl fence, built on a metal frame so they don't sag.
