Driveway gates in Columbus, Ohio, designed, built and automated by one company
Columbus Gate Systems designs, builds, powder coats, installs and automates custom driveway gates for homes across Central Ohio. Every gate is made to your driveway, your house and your taste, and backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Custom driveway gates for Columbus homes
Most gate projects get handed between a welding shop, a powder coat shop and an installer. Ours never leave our sight. We draw the gate, fabricate it, finish it, install it and set up the opener, so you have one point of contact from the first sketch to the first time the gate opens.
Columbus driveways vary widely, from long drives in Delaware County to tight lots in Bexley and Upper Arlington. A stock gate rarely fits any of them, so each one is sized to your opening, your slope and the look of your fence, stone or brick.

How much do driveway gates cost in Columbus?

Choosing a driveway gate in Columbus
Single or double swing
Double swing gates use two panels and suit most wider openings. A single swing gate works well on narrower drives, up to 14 feet, where there is room for one panel to swing.
Steel or aluminum
Steel is strong, economical and our standard. Aluminum is lighter and costs more than steel. Both are powder coated for a durable finish.
Style and details
Choose a flat or arched top, picket thickness, puppy pickets along the bottom to keep pets in, finials, and a post size that suits the gate. The online designer lets you preview each change.
Opener and access
We install LiftMaster and Viking operators and match the operator to your gate's weight and use. Keypads, remotes and a smart video intercom are available. We install new gates and operators and perform warranty work on systems we installed. We do not service or repair gates or operators we didn't install.

A custom steel gate on its own starts around $3,000. Most Columbus driveway gate projects that include professional installation and a LiftMaster automation package run about $10,000 and up, depending on width, height, style and options. Our online gate designer shows a live price as you change the design.
Do you repair existing driveway gates or openers?
No. We don't service or repair gates or openers that we didn't install. We design, build, install and automate new custom gates with new operators, replace old, worn-out gate systems, and perform warranty work on systems we installed. If your old gate has reached the end of its life, we can build its replacement.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a driveway gate in Columbus?
Requirements vary by city, township and HOA, so check yours before you commit to a design. We can supply drawings and finish samples to include with an approval request.
