Aluminium — The Strong Choice for Automatic Driveway Gates
An aluminium electric gate can tick all of the boxes when it comes to completing your driveway entrance.
Lightweight Yet Strong
Even though aluminium is three times lighter than steel, choosing an aluminium gate will not compromise on strength and durability. You also have the option of combining it with galvanised steel for an even sturdier aluminium gate.
Gate motors need to exert less force to open and close an aluminium gate because it is more lightweight than metal and wooden gates, which can make it a much more economical option too.
A Wide Variety of Colour & Style Choices
Aluminium driveway gates can be fabricated to look like wooden or steel gates, making it an extremely versatile material in terms of design.
Our bespoke aluminium gates and posts can also be powder coated in any of the RAL colours, allowing you to match it up to your walls or accent features of your home exterior.
A Low Maintenance Material for Less Hassle
You won’t have to pay constant attention to your aluminium electric gate to maintain its finish because aluminium is extremely low maintenance.
Unlike wooden gates that require more maintenance, such as applying and reapplying finishes, galvanised and powder coated aluminium gates won’t rust, rot, twist, or warp and only need a periodic wiping down with water to maintain their beauty.
True Value for Money
Electric driveway gates made from aluminium offer you longevity and minimal maintenance, which makes them a sound investment for your home because you will spend less money and time on maintaining them in the long run.
Gates Scotland are experts in gate fabrication and installation, so when you choose us to create bespoke gates for your property, you know you are getting the best value for money.

The Benefits of Electric Aluminium Driveway Gates
Manual driveway gates, whether a swing or sliding gate, eventually get left open. This happens when homeowners become tired of the inconvenience and constant effort of having to get in and out of their cars to open and close their gates whenever they come and go.
But when you leave your gate open, you diminish the security and privacy aspects of having a gate and also take away from the aesthetic that a well-designed gate can bring to the exterior of your home. An electric aluminium solves these problems and more. Here’s how:
Upgraded Security
Automatic aluminium gates allow homeowners to have full control over the entry point to their homes. We will custom-make your new automated aluminium gate to perfectly fit your driveway, making your home more secure. To further increase the safety aspect of your new gates, we can also install an intercom system outside your property so you can control who is given access to your property.
Enhanced Privacy
In addition to the added security, an automated aluminium driveway gate provides your home with privacy too. Because of the design of our aluminium gates, outsiders will not be able to see through them to view your home. And because of the automation of your new aluminium gate, the gate will be closed more often than it is open, maintaining this privacy whenever it is not in use.
Optimised Convenience
Manually operating your driveway gate quickly becomes inconvenient and time-consuming. With an automated driveway gate, this process all happens at the press of a button. Our aluminium driveway gates can also be installed with vehicle detection so that it will automatically close behind you once your vehicle is inside.
Better Curbside Appeal
High-quality aluminium gates can give your home a more appealing entrance. This makes your home look more inviting to your friends and family but can also increase its market value. Once you find the perfect design for your new electric driveway gates, we can even create matching posts and aluminium pedestrian gates to complete your home exterior with a matching style.
Aluminium driveway gates with automation systems bring you and your family convenience and safety at the push of a button.

Types of Aluminium Automated Driveway Gates
We offer a variety of opening configurations for our automated aluminium gates. All of these configurations can have the installation of gate motors either above or below ground, based on the dimensions and restrictions on your property.
Aluminium Automatic Swing Gates
Swing gates are a great choice for those wanting something that adds a touch of elegance to their homes. These automated gates do, however, require a significant amount of space in the area where they will swing open.
The installation of your swing gate can have either above ground or below ground gate motors.
Choose an automatic swing gate in aluminium with a grand design to give your home a stately driveway that is sure to impress your guests.
Aluminium Automatic Sliding Gates
Our aluminium sliding gates are available as either tracked or cantilever sliding gates.
A tracked sliding gate is installed on wheels that roll along a metal track and are most suitable for a gate opening on even ground. A cantilever sliding gate has a concrete foundation that supports the system, making it suitable for uneven ground.
Both tracked and cantilever electric aluminium sliding gates offer the benefits of convenience, security, and strength.
Aluminium Bi Fold Automatic Gates
Automated bi-fold driveway gates are the solution for properties where limited space prevents a traditional swinging or sliding gate from working. Made up of two or more aluminium panels, these bi-fold gates are hinged together to fold instead of swing. They are designed for shorter driveways.
Bi-fold aluminium electric gates can open from the centre like regular swing gates or from the sides. However, aluminium gates with this configuration can also cost more due to the design, engineering, and installation involved.
Let Gates Scotland create a bespoke aluminium gate that will give your home the perfect finish.
