If you own a smaller property like a farm or estate, you may wish to set up a new gate to increase security and control. To ensure your gate is properly positioned and secure, here are the steps to set up a new entrance on a smaller property.

First, you should decide the most appropriate location for your new gate. This will depend on the property’s particular size, shape, and layout. You then need to measure the area where you intend to place the gate for the appropriate size. You might want to assess the amount of traffic that passes through and the types of vehicles. Consult with knowledgeable Thornton fencing contractors to find a gate that fits your specific needs.

Second, ensuring the gate is installed correctly and equipped with the correct safety features is essential. It is wise to seek professional advice from Thornton fencing or a security contractor to ensure it meets current safety guidelines. You may need a concrete footer or to prepare the area before the gate is installed, and you should be aware of any potential hazards, such as underground cables or pipes.

Third, after the gate has been installed, it is essential to ensure proper security precautions are taken. This can include adding CCTV cameras to the installation and providing any security systems or alarms are working correctly.

Finally, every property owner should know their legal responsibility for any gate installed. Understanding the fundamental laws concerning gates is essential, such as fire regulations and public rights of way.
