Are you a homeowner in search of reliable, secure residential fencing options?

If yes, you’ve come to the right place. Hercules Fence offers a wide range of options when it comes to residential fencing designs. From a chain link fence to steel fencing, you’ve got just what you need.

We design home-automated gate systems to provide homeowners aesthetic, convenient gate operator systems. We analyze the size of your property to identify the best style of fence and gating for your property needs.

What types of gates are available for homeowners desiring high security gate installations?

There are three high security gates designed for enhancing home security:
- The picket fence. Yes, a picket fence is a great security fence for the home because it can feature a heavy wooden gate that’s not only attractive but also durable enough to keep intruders out and loved ones safe within your property. The picket fence style can offer both manual and automatic gate entry. This is a low maintenance fence, if the wood is treated annually.
- Security barrier gates. With the use of subtle colors, you can provide your home an attractive look while reaping the benefits of excellent security.
- Maximum security gating. If you prefer a very industrial feel to your home exterior design, maximum-security gates may be your best fit. It’s a perfect gate product for driveway entries.
Hercules Fence is here to help you identify your security needs so we may create the security fence of your dreams.

We can design custom gates solely for pedestrian access or vehicle access. It’s up to you.

Here at Hercules Fence we are dedicated to producing high quality residential fencing, commercial fencing and high security fencing.

Get the right gate

Like most other aspects of a chain-link fence, you have a few options when it comes to choosing a gate for it. This page summarizes the primary choices you’ll need to consider.

Walk-through or drive-through
This mainly concerns the width of the gate. Will you need to allow a car to drive through the gate or not. Typically, a walk-through gate consists of one panel and will allow a person or possibly a lawnmower to move through it. A drive-through gate usually incorporates two panels that latch in the center.

Swing or sliding
A swing gate pivots on a hinge like a door, while a sliding gate operates sliding glass door by moving along the fence. While swing gates appear in either walk-through or drive-through varieties, a sliding gate is almost exclusively used in a drive-through context. Sliding gates are ideal for incorporating electronic opening systems.

For all your fencing needs, contact us. He handle gates as well fences, and materials of a kind from chain-link to vinyl to wrought iron to wood.

Once you’ve decided you want a chain-link fence over wroght-iron, wood, or PVC vinyl or any other type of fencing, you may think you’ve made your final decision. However, there is a lot more to chain-link fencing to consider, and over the next few weeks we’ll look at those aspects using this article as a guide. First up, are the major components of a chain-link fence.
- Fabric: The fabric is the “body” of a chain-link fence that fills in the space between the framework. Fabric comes in different gauges and with different coatings.
- Framework: The framework is the metal poles that support and anchor the fabric. It too comes in different gauges.
- Fittings: The fittings attach the fabric to the framework and come in many different shapes and sizes.
- Gates: Not all fences have gates, but many do, and there are different designs to meet multiple purposes.
To learn more about chain-link fencing or to have a fence installed, contact us. We tell you more it and help you decide which options are right for you.

Gate access systems

If you decide to have a gate installed for your driveway, one decision you’ll soon have to make is what access system you want. Ease of entry and security are the two main, and sometimes opposing, factors to consider. Here are some of your options.

Easy
Transmitter and pushbutton systems minimize the hassle you and your guests experience when entering your driveway. The gate can open either when a car approaches or when the driver pushes a button. Obviously, when it comes to security, these options don’t offer much more than the simple presence of a gate.

Secure
Touch pads require a code be entered correctly for access and obviously provide a homeowner much more security but aren’t as easy for guests to deal with. An intercom system combined with a keypad is a good compromise that lets you open the gate for guests from inside. Swipe card access systems are mostly used by commercial clients but we can install these for residential clients as well.

Connections
There are a few notification/remote options available. Homeowners and open gates with a button inside the home. They can also be notified through a dedicated phone line or via a cell phone.

If you’d like more information on driveway gates or these access options, contact us. We can demonstrate these options and help you figure out the right system for you.

Do you need a driveway gate?

The reasons for installing an automated gate for your driveway may initially seem obvious. They provide added privacy and security for your home and can make your property more attractive. But there are a couple other benefits of gates that you may not have considered.

Keeping things in
Gates can be a great way of keeping children and pets from getting out of your yard. When someone is coming and going, it gives you the chance to make sure you know where the kids and animals are and restrain them if necessary.

Keeping things out
People aren’t the only things homeowners want to keep out of their yards. Many spend a lot of money on tall fences to keep deer out only to leave wide opening for them at the driveway. Tall gates that compliment a deer fence are available and effectively keep deer out.

If you’re looking into an automated gate for your driveway, contact us. We’ll work with you to lay out your options based on your goals, and install the right gate for your home.
