Electric Gate Installation in Haywards Heath

The Challenge

The client needed a gate that could keep pace with a working yard. The entrance had to manage regular vehicle and horsebox access, provide hands-free exit for staff and visitors, and stand up to heavy daily use – all while suiting the character of the rural surroundings. Long-term durability and minimal maintenance were key priorities.

Our Approach

We recommended an Iroko hardwood gate made to measure for the entrance. Iroko is one of the most dependable hardwoods for outdoor use – naturally dense, resistant to weathering, and well-suited to high-traffic environments where a gate needs to look good and take punishment in equal measure.

For automation, Roger Technology‘s below-ground operators were the right choice, keeping all mechanical components hidden beneath the surface for a clean, uncluttered finish. Entry was handled by a digital keypad – simple, secure, and no remote controls to lose. For exit, we fitted an in-ground vehicle road loop, allowing the gate to open automatically as vehicles approach from within. For a working yard with staff, horses, and horseboxes moving in and out throughout the day, a hands-free exit makes a genuine difference to daily workflow.
