Gate installation in Tallinn
A gate is the part of the fence you use every day, so it has to open easily and close properly for years. We install pedestrian gates, swing gates and sliding gates, add automation, and fit gates you have bought yourself.

Types of gates
- Pedestrian gate: a single leaf for walking in, bringing in a bicycle or a wheelbarrow. Usually next to the driveway or as the only entrance on a small plot.
- Swing gate: two leaves that open into the yard, wide enough for a car. Simple and reliable, but it needs free space for the leaves to swing.
- Sliding gate: one leaf that rolls sideways along the fence. It needs space along the fence line instead of in front of the gate, and is the better choice on short or sloping driveways and where snow piles up.
Gates can be made to match any of our fences: 3D panel, 2D panel, metal sheet, metal picket or wood.
Swing or sliding?
Measure the driveway behind the gate. If the leaves of a swing gate would hit a slope, a parked car or a kerb, a swing gate will be awkward to use. In Estonian winters, snow in front of the gate also has to be cleared before it can open.
A sliding gate avoids both problems. It needs a clear stretch of fence beside the opening, roughly as long as the gate itself plus a bit more, and a solid foundation for the guide. It costs more than a swing gate, especially with automation, but is often the more convenient choice for daily driving.
Gate automation
With automation the gate opens from a remote, a phone or a keypad, so you do not have to leave the car in the rain. We install sliding gates complete with a motor, and we can also add automation to an existing gate if the gate and posts are in good condition.
Before installing, we check that there is power available near the gate, that the gate moves freely by hand and that safety devices such as photocells can be fitted. A motor will not fix a gate that is sagging or binding, so sometimes adjustment comes first.
Fitting your own gate
If you bought a gate yourself, we can install it at the labour price for a pedestrian or swing gate. Tell us the gate width, weight and type of posts or hinges so we can plan the posts and concrete. Gate posts carry the most load in a fence, so they are set especially firmly to keep the gate from dropping over time.

Frequently asked questions
How wide should a driveway gate be?+
Wide enough to drive in comfortably without turning tightly, with some room to spare for larger vehicles such as a van or a delivery truck. We check the turning space when we measure.
Can you automate my existing gate?+
Often yes, if the gate moves freely and the posts are firm. We look at it first and tell you whether it can be automated as it is or needs adjusting.
Does gate automation need electricity at the gate?+
Yes, the motor needs a power supply near the gate. If there is no cable there yet, it should be laid by an electrician before or during the installation.
Can a gate be added to an existing fence?+
Yes. We can cut an opening into an existing fence, set new gate posts and hang the gate, as long as the fence materials are compatible.
Will a sliding gate work in winter?+
Yes. Keep the area along the track and the guide clear of ice and packed snow, and the gate will run normally. A cantilever design without a ground track is less sensitive to snow.
