Comparing the Gate Options
The right gate depends on who is coming through, how often, and how tightly access needs to be controlled.

Vehicle Gates
Our vehicle and pedestrian access gates have fully galvanised, weather-resistant steel frames and a zinc coated locking mechanism for rust resistance. They come with castor wheels and a latch, and are compatible with both temporary fencing and hoarding, so one gate type serves either perimeter. The 7m set is two 3450mm gates giving 7000mm in total; the 4.2m version suits narrower entrances. Check each product page for minimum order quantities.
Pedestrian Gates
The round top pedestrian gate slots into standard temporary fencing blocks and clips onto the panels, and is designed for both square top and round top fencing. Each kit includes an additional post so the gate closes with its sliding latch bolt; padlocks are sold separately. The 1m pedestrian gate in panel replaces a standard panel in the run and uses the same feet and couplers. Where access needs to be restricted, the HD Digi Lock gate is powder coated red, has a digital lock for authorised personnel, entrance and exit signage, and an exit-side handle for quick egress.
Site Gantry Entrances for Events
The site gantry entrance panel gives the public a clearly marked way in along a fence line and is often used at festivals. Signage fixes securely to the frame. The bespoke signage package adds your logo, directions, safety messages or event details, printed in Correx, Foamex or PVC for outdoor use.
Fitting, Ordering and Delivery
Gates sit in the same feet and couplers as your temporary fencing panels. For extra security, add plastic sleeved chain with a padlock, lockable couplers and anti lift hooks from the accessories range. For screened sites, the vehicle gates also work with steel hoarding.
We make our vehicle and pedestrian gates in our West Midlands factory using autonomous robot welding and qualified welders, so they match our temporary fencing panels and hoarding.
