This page is here to assist you with finding a Residential style decorative ornamental driveway gate.
Farm gates and simple barrier gates can be found on the Rural Driveway Gate page.
Arched - Flat and Extended Top - Driveway Gates:
The Versai Residential Driveway Gate (shown above) is popular because of its price and visual appeal. Very affordable, around $2500.
Automation and installation cost are extra.
The Versai Driveway Gate by FORTRESS IRON is available locally and can be picked up directly at my supplier, eliminating delivery time and cost.
Next, some terminology to help with communicating and decision-making for a gate purchase.
To order this size gate, ask for a 5 x 6 x 16 double.
Dual arched driveway gates are available as 4‘ x 5’ , 5' x 6' and 6’ x 7‘ heights, in widths from 12 ft. to 24 ft.
Straight - Flat and Extended Top - Driveway Gates:
U-Frame style; notice the 2 inch square tube steel frame along the sides and bottom of this gate - handsome, strong, affordable.
Straight Flat Top or Extended Flat Top U Frame gates are available in heights 4 ft., 5 ft., and 6 ft., and in widths from 8 ft. to 20 ft. Price for dual swing drive gate, post, caps, hinges . . $2400.00 - $2800.00.
Single Leaf Gates:
Single Leaf / Panel straight top, flat or extended, ornamental driveway swing gates are available up to 14 ft. in width.
I should add, "12 ft and wider single-leaf gates are available to purchase and have shipped to you, but - shipping costs are insane". I was told shipping for anything over 12ft requires a private carrier with a hefty price. I had a quote from one of my suppliers of $5000 just for shipping.
The solution:
The 5x14 pictured above was made locally by NGFC at our shop, eliminating the horrendous shipping cost.
This 5x14 gate with the large 6x6 steel post, a 300 ft. electric service run to the gate from the house, a 120VAC electric single gate opener kit, exit sensor, surge suppressor, and keypad, photo eyes, installed - cost $8700.00.
A single panel gate is less expensive to add automation because only one motor, instead of two, is required.
WHERE TO BUY A GATE?
I have included links below to help you find the perfect driveway gate.
Your first stop might be ALEKO.
Aleko makes a great gate. The Aleko gates are well-built and beautiful and have a vast inventory with many options.
Unfortunately, with so much building going on nationwide, Aleko is "sold out," with the promise of more to be available soon. Their inventory fluctuates monthly, so it is worth checking to see what's in stock.
In addition to the ALEKO selection, many companies make and ship driveway gates direct to your home.
Please, scroll down for more goodies. Happy hunting!
We are happy to install and add automation to any gate you purchase.
If you need help with delivery, we can meet the truck to accept and forward the load.
"Several Driveway Gate Suppliers sell off-brand gate opener automation equipment. Please do not purchase any driveway gate opener automation equipment from these companies. The Viking brand we install is far superior to what they offer".

Rustic wood "Horizontal Board" style Drive Gate.
Not everyone wants a steel or aluminum ornamental wrought-iron style driveway entry gate.
North Georgia Fence Company makes steel-reinforced wood driveway gates.
We custom-make steel-reinforced wood driveway gates.
“Finials” and “Pressed Spear” options for extended top gates:
Extended top gates can be purchased with the free factory default "pressed spear" finial or an optional upgrade to a more decorative finial.
The one gate pictured above has the "quad flare" finial, and the other panel shows the free factory "pressed spear" option.
Two additional options are available; the "triad" and the "fleur de lis."
Aluminum or Steel ?
The two samples below show fencing that has been exposed to the elements for about 10 years. Aluminum shows only slight discoloration while Steel shows rust, oxidation, and peeling paint where the holes were punched through the rail, and where the post enters the ground.
Most driveway gates are welded at these junctions, then powder coated, so this isn't a concern with gates, only ornamental fence panels.
Aluminum is not as strong as steel, to compensate, aluminum gates are made using larger components. Aluminum is much lighter than steel - important for very large gates.
Steel is stronger - Aluminum looks new longer - Aluminum cost more.
Both are great!
