What Our Automatic Driveway Gates Includes
We never take shortcuts with post depth or fasteners. Every project includes complete professional execution from utility locate coordination through final cleanup.
Why Standard Fences Fail in Colorado Springs
Property owners across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Falcon face unique climatic stresses: sudden 70-80 mph downslope Chinook winds, severe frost heave in winter, and bentonite clay that heaves unanchored posts out of plumb. Our specialized automatic driveway gates prevents leaning sections, loose pickets, and sagging gates through engineered depth and superior fastening.
Footing Depth: Minimum 24 inches (below 20" frost line).
Fasteners: Ceramic exterior screws (no nails to work loose).
Concrete: ~100 lbs per post for lateral wind resistance.
Our Step-by-Step Craftsmanship Process
1. Driveway Geometry & Power Audit
Assessing entry slope, vehicular turn radius, and solar exposure vs. 120V AC electrical power access.
2. Heavy Commercial Post Anchoring
Boring 36-inch deep footings for heavy 4-inch square steel posts set in 300 lbs of concrete.
3. Welded Steel/Aluminum Gate Mounting
Hanging precision-welded powder-coated gate leaves with greaseable sealed-bearing hinges.
4. Operator & Actuator Installation
Mounting heavy-duty linear actuator arms or slide-gate operators (LiftMaster, Apollo, or Ghost Controls).
5. Safety Loop & Photo-Eye Integration
Installing vehicle safety sensors, infrared obstruction photo-eyes, and manual fire disconnects.
6. Access Control Programming
Programming wireless remote keyfobs, exterior digital keypads, and smartphone app intercoms.
Cost Factors
The cost of automatic driveway gates in Colorado Springs depends on overall linear footage, ground slope, soil rockiness (especially on the granite west side near Manitou Springs), post material choices, and custom gate widths. Standard wood privacy fences generally range between $26 and $42 per linear foot installed, while specialty ranch rails, metal posts, or custom shadowbox styles reflect lumber grade and post depth specifications.
PPRBD & Local Permits
Automated driveway gates in El Paso County must comply with UL 325 safety standards for vehicular gate operators and ASTM F2200 gate construction standards. Systems must include secondary entrapment prevention devices (infrared photo-eyes or reversing edge sensors). Gates across emergency access roads must include Colorado Springs Fire Department Knox rapid-entry key switches.
The Veteran Standard
Automated gates require a rare combination of structural metalwork, concrete engineering, and low-voltage electrical mastery. Jeremy's Fences installs robust solar- and AC-powered automated gate systems built to withstand sub-zero Colorado winters, heavy snowpacks, and intense Front Range winds.
