Westcountry Gates & Barriers

Automatic gate and barrier installation from Plymouth

Westcountry Gates & Barriers is a gate automation specialist based in Plymouth, Devon. The company supplies and installs solar or electric powered automatic gates, barriers and vehicle access systems across Devon and Cornwall, working on residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Its work covers both new bespoke gates and the automation of gates that are already in place. The company presents a free site survey and quotation as the starting point for projects.

Gate types and materials

The catalogue of gates spans several materials and formats, which the company lists as follows:

• Metal gates
• Wooden gates
• Sliding gates
• Wood-effect PVC gates
• Aluminium gates
• Solar-powered gates
• Vertical gates

Bespoke gates are offered in wrought iron, hardwood or softwood, and aluminium. Wrought iron gates are supplied galvanised and powder-coated, a finish the company describes as giving a long-lasting, maintenance-free life. The stated aim is that the gates contribute both to the security and to the appearance of the property, whether commercial or domestic.

Automation, power and safety

Automation can run on solar or electric power. The company argues that an automated entry system makes daily use easier and keeps the gate closed whenever it is not in use, which it presents as a way to keep children and pets within the property boundary and to deter unwanted visitors.

All systems are described as coming with safety features built in as standard, including auto-reverse collision sensing. Further safety features can be added from the company's range of accessories.
