Acreage entry gates and estate driveway gates for Catherine Field, built for properties where the boundary and the house are a long way apart.
Catherine Field is two suburbs in one. The Catherine Park side has finished estate homes with sealed double driveways and a footpath running past the crossover, while the older holdings along Camden Valley Way and Emerald Hills Boulevard side streets are still acreage with paddocks, sheds and a driveway that runs a long way back from the road. Camden Council covers both, but the gates could not be more different.
On acreage the entry usually crosses a table drain or culvert, and that determines where the gate can physically sit. We look for firm, level ground beyond the culvert with enough depth that a vehicle towing something can pull completely off the road while the gate opens. Post footings go deep, because a rural gate post that moves takes the gate alignment with it.
On the estate side the job is more about neat detailing, keeping the gate inside the boundary and matching the slat or Colorbond finish already used on the home. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free on-site measure.
Gates positioned beyond the table drain on firm ground, set back far enough that a towing vehicle can clear Camden Valley Way traffic.
Rural gate posts concreted well below the surface, because a post that shifts takes the whole gate out of alignment with it.
Slat or Colorbond gates for the Catherine Park side, kept inside the boundary so nothing sweeps across the footpath.
Mesh or close-spaced infill at the lower section where animals are kept near the entry on Catherine Field holdings.
Long range remotes, keypads at the gate and an exit sensor so you never stop halfway down a dark driveway.
Return fencing quoted with the gate, whether that is rural post and wire or a matching panel run at the estate frontage.
Beyond the culvert or table drain, on firm level ground, and far enough in from the road that the longest vehicle you own can pull completely clear of traffic while it opens. On Camden Valley Way and the connecting roads that setback matters, because vehicles pass at speed. We work that distance out on site with you rather than defaulting to the boundary line.
Not really, and we do not pretend otherwise. An estate frontage in Catherine Park wants a neat slat or Colorbond gate that matches the house and stays inside a tight boundary. A paddock entry wants width, bracing and heavy posts that survive being clipped by a trailer. We quote whichever the property actually is, and occasionally both when a client has a house frontage and a separate rural access.
Yes. Where livestock or dogs are kept near the entrance we run mesh or close-spaced infill through the lower part of the gate and reduce the ground clearance so nothing squeezes underneath. On wide rural gates that infill adds weight, which we account for when specifying the motor and the hinge or roller assembly.
Two problems come with distance. Power out to the gate can be solved with conduit run in the same trench as the footings work, or by using a solar panel and battery at the gate itself. Convenience is solved with long range remotes, a keypad for visitors, and an exit sensor buried on the house side that opens the gate automatically as you drive down.
We build and automate driveway gates across Oran Park, Gregory Hills, Leppington, Gledswood Hills, Harrington Park and Narellan as well as Catherine Field. Because we cover the whole South West growth corridor we see both the acreage and the estate side of this market every week.
