Measure a gate opening before design, automation and quotation.
A useful gate survey records more than one width. It explains where each measurement was taken, how the ground changes and whether the proposed gate can move safely within the available site.
Establish the fixed reference points
Identify the faces of existing posts, piers, walls or boundaries that define the opening. Record dimensions at relevant heights and note anything that is not plumb or parallel.
Check levels and operating space
Measure changes in ground level, drainage features, kerbs and thresholds. For sliding gates, verify run-back; for swing gates, document arcs, slopes and nearby obstacles.
Record services, access and evidence
Confirm visible power and access constraints without assuming hidden services. Take clear site photographs and mark any dimension that still requires verification.
A connected workflow, not an isolated feature
Use the same project context across site surveys, gate configuration, quotations and field delivery. OVERXXI supports professional decision-making; competent assessment, manufacturer instructions and applicable safety requirements remain authoritative.
