The Estate Swing 12 Ft. Gate
From the innovative brand Estate Swing, known for its dependable gate automation, comes the new eye-catching and affordable Estate Swing Driveway Gate Collection. Featuring an elegant sweeping arc and clean lines, this 12 foot long single gate is functional in both appearance and automation. The design incorporates classic artistry, sturdy wrought aluminum alloy, and a smooth powder-coated finish.
Unlike other driveway gates where automation is an afterthought, Estate Swing recognized the importance of operator placement from the start. Customer automation preferences were considered beforehand, preventing the need for awkward and structurally unsound flat bars to be added later. See “Gate Construction” below for more details on how other gate companies fail to provide proper automation support.
Using 6061-T6 wrought aluminum with ¾ inch pickets and full 2 inch square frame members, we create a tough, durable gate that is stronger, lighter, and nearly twice as resistant to denting or bending as steel. This makes it safer for people and objects and extends the life of the operator by reducing strain on its gears. As gate automation professionals, Estate Swing anticipated consumer needs and incorporated those details into the design of this dynamic driveway gate. It’s easy to drill, easy to lift, and easy to automate—keeping both DIY installation effort and costs down significantly.
Another unique feature of our Estate Swing Driveway Gate Collection is that it’s made in the U.S. by skilled welders who follow the American Welding Society's standards. Local manufacturing allows for efficient quality control and much faster shipping compared to overseas outsourcing.
With all these features and benefits, another company would charge much more. But thanks to our special relationship with Estate Swing, GateCrafters.com is passing the savings on to you! Our loyal customers have long requested affordable security, and now, a well-designed driveway gate has never been more accessible or more affordable.

The Estate Swing Garden Gate is supported by a full frame and a complete set of thicker-than-average pickets. Many customers wish to lock and/or automate their garden gates, so Estate Swing has designed the gate panel to easily accommodate these needs.
The Estate Swing Garden Gate is crafted from 6061-T6 wrought aluminum alloy and is powder-coated for a protective seal and uniform color. The 6061-T6 wrought aluminum is a high-grade alloy with a yield strength of approximately 40,000 pounds per square inch*. In comparison, this is significantly stronger than "mild steel," which has a yield strength of around 20,000 to 30,000 pounds per square inch. Additionally, aluminum will not rust. 6061-T6 wrought aluminum is chosen for its durability, resiliency, dent resistance, and lasting beauty.
Aluminum vs. Steel Gates Comparison
Powder coating is a process where powdered pigment is applied to and cured onto a surface. The surface is treated mechanically and/or chemically to remove impurities and contaminants, followed by the application of the pigments. The material is then cured at high temperatures, causing the pigments to flow together and chemically bond to form the coating. Powder coating is preferred for certain surfaces because it releases almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and does not sag or run, even with thicker coats. The overspray can be recycled, which reduces waste, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Our Estate Swing Garden Gates are powder-coated to ensure the most uniform appearance possible.
Estate Swing Gates are powder-coated in the USA by a DuPont-certified powder coater.
DuPont coatings provide quality results through excellent transfer efficiency and premium coverage. As a trusted industry leader, DuPont's powder coating formulations offer environmentally responsible coatings that minimize waste while delivering a superior finish.
The certified powder coater for Estate Swing Gates has undergone rigorous testing and analysis to achieve DuPont Platinum Certification, making it one of only two companies in the U.S. to hold this prestigious honor. Every Estate Swing Gate features this durable, long-lasting DuPont powder-coated finish, resulting in an exceptional product line of high-quality driveway gates.
