Automatic Driveway Gate Installation FAQs for Lower Merion Homeowners
Can I make my existing gate automatic?
Often, yes. If your current gate is structurally sound, level, and swings freely, we can retrofit an operator system to it.
What happens if the power goes out?
All our residential gate operators include a battery backup system that will allow the gate to cycle dozens of times during an outage.
How much maintenance do electric gates need?
We recommend an annual service check to grease hinges, check chain tension, and test safety sensors to ensure reliable long-term operation.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Lower Merion Township?
Yes, Lower Merion Township requires a building permit for all fences over 6 feet in height and a zoning permit for all new fence installations. We help navigate the specific Main Line codes to ensure your project is fully compliant.
What are the fence height restrictions in Lower Merion?
Residential properties in Lower Merion typically allow fences up to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. However, there are specific rules for corner lots and heritage properties that we verify for every client.

Absolutely. We specialize in BOCA-compliant aluminum and vinyl fencing that meets the rigorous safety standards required for Lower Merion residential pools, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal.
