There is no doubt that double swing gates have the wow factor.  The motor mechanism is hidden, and safe from personal injury. There is a geometric slowing of the gate at the beginning and end of travel which is gentle on the gate and pleasing to the eye. 

The farm gate is a very practical rural gate style, where keeping your pets in and the wild life outside is more important than speed or style. An automated farm gate is an affordable security project that completes your boundary security. Safety can be a challenge, but less so in the country.

Sliding gates are inexpensive, and can compliment any house style. They take far less space than a swing gate, so work well on small front drives, and sloping drives. A close boarded sliding gate has fewer safety risks, so complies more easily with safety requirements. Sliding gates are also more secure than swing gates

Your garage door your first line of security, particularly if there is a connecting door through to the house. Use the same remote to open your new gate and then the garage.
