I want my gate installed by a professional, do Southern Gates offer this service?

We don’t offer an installation service and can’t visit your property as we focus on gate and parts supply. We do have a good list of professional trades that are more than happy to help you with a ‘fully installed’ gate solution – visit our installer page to find your nearest professional.

How hard is it to install a sliding gate? I’m considering it but I’m not sure if I have the skills

You’ll want to have basic skills in handling tools and following technical instructions. If you’ve built a deck or a fence and are confident with this level of skill, it’s achievable and a rewarding project.

We have step-by-step guides so take a look at these and you’ll soon know if it’s a project you’re confident about taking on.

Installation of a manual sliding gate is quite straight forward, whilst adding automation (motors) adds more complexity – though this part can be referred to a professional.

How hard is it to install a swing gate? I’m considering it but I’m not sure if I have the skills

A manual swing gate is relatively easy to install, whilst adding automation (motors) adds more complexity – though this part can be referred to a professional.

We have step-by-step guides so take a look at these and you’ll soon know if it’s a project you’re confident about taking on.

How much does it cost to have a gate installed by a professional?

This of course depends on a number of factors; your property, gate type (sliding or swing), gate size, automation option (if chosen), access to a power supply.
