Quick answer

Can you automate a farm gate?

Yes. Safe Haven Gates installs automatic farm and ranch gates and automates existing ones when the posts and gate are sound. Most rural gates run on a solar operator, so there is no need to trench power down a long drive. We size the gate for trucks and trailers, set the posts for the weight, and add a keypad, remotes or a cellular call box so family, deliveries and hands can get in.

What we install

Steel and aluminum ranch swing gates, slide and cantilever gates, solar and AC operators, heavy posts and hinges, keypads, cellular call boxes, remotes, vehicle exit sensors and matching field fence.

Service area

Portland metro, Willamette Valley and SW Washington from Portland. Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett and the Puget Sound from Seattle.

New gate or automate the old one?

If the gate is straight, the hinges are good and the posts are solid, we can add an operator. Sagging tube gates and rotten wood posts are usually replaced first.

Types of farm gates

Four farm and ranch gate setups.

The width, the ground and what comes through the gate decide which one fits.

Ranch swing gate

One long steel leaf on heavy posts. The most common farm entrance.

Double swing

Two leaves for wide openings, lighter on hinges and operators.

Slide or cantilever

Rolls along the fence line. Good on slopes, gravel and snow.

Walk gate

A matching pedestrian gate beside the drive for people and feed runs.

Where farm gates fit

Acreage, hobby farms, vineyards and rural homes.

Farm gates need to open wide enough for a trailer, survive mud, wind and livestock, and keep working far from the house. We build heavy steel gates, set posts in concrete, and pick solar or AC power based on how far the gate is from the barn or house.

Reliable work, a fair price and good communication.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company did a fantastic job on replacing our VERY inferior ALEKO product with a way better LIFTMASTER system. The LIFTMASTER system is miles apart from the other brand! So much smoother, cleaner and so much more! Safe Haven Electric Gates did a great job on the install making our gate open even further than the other brand. Very nice people to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly commend the technician Logan Uzan who came out to my home for a service call. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
He was incredibly knowledgeable and pinpointed the issue immediately—truly spot-on with his diagnosis. What impressed me most was his willingness to share his expertise; he actually took the time to teach me a quick fix I could use in the future if the problem were to reoccur. That sort of helpfulness and transparency is rare these days.

Safe haven has been extremely customer service oriented from their initial quotes to service calls. Amazing people and service

How wide should a farm gate be?

Wide enough for the biggest thing that comes through. Most farm drives use 14 to 20 feet so trucks, trailers and equipment can turn in without clipping the posts.

Can you automate my existing farm gate?

Often, yes. If the gate is straight and the hinges and posts are solid, we add an operator. Sagging tube gates and rotten posts are replaced first.

Will an automatic gate hurt livestock?

Not when it is set up right. We use photo eyes, set force and speed low, and plan gaps and clearance for the animals on your property.

How do deliveries and visitors get in?

With a keypad code, a cellular call box that rings your phone, or a phone app. Many farms give each driver or hand their own code.

How do I get out without a remote?

A vehicle exit sensor buried beside the drive opens the gate when a car or truck approaches from inside.

Do you build ranch gates or only install them?

Both. We build steel farm and ranch gates in our own shop and install them with the posts, operator and access control.
