Step 2 of 3
Drawing your gate. This takes 20 to 50 seconds.
Your request is already through, so you can close this page if you need to.
That's an AI preview, not a drawing to build from. The installer measures the opening before pricing it.
We couldn't do this one. Some photos don't work: a clearer, wider shot in daylight usually does.
Your request is in: you'll still get a call with a price.

Gates for homes in Clare
46,441 households live in Clare, around Ennis, Shannon, Sixmilebridge and Kilrush and in the country. Requests from anywhere in the county go to one installer who covers all of it.
34% of homes here are semis or terraces, 15,997 of them. That's the side passage and the back entrance: a composite side gate at €400–€500 as a kit, or €1,350–€1,550 made to measure.
60% are detached, 27,669 homes, well above the national share. Where there's a drive, a composite pair (€600–€950, gate only) or a sliding gate (€900–€1,100) closes it off.
264 one-off houses were finished in Clare in 2025, out of 624 new homes. A new entrance is the time to get the piers and a duct for a future motor in.
Clare has a coastline, and salt air finds every chip in a steel frame. An aluminium frame with composite boards doesn't rust.
In Clare the planning authority is Clare County Council. A gate up to 2 m in an existing opening is usually exempt; a new or widened entrance onto the road is not.

Questions
Composite gates in Clare: questions
How much do composite gates cost in Clare?
The same as across Ireland: €400–€500 for a side gate kit, €1,350–€1,550 made to measure, and €600–€950 for a driveway pair, gate only.
Do I need planning permission for a gate in Clare?
Usually not up to 2 m in an existing opening. Widening the entrance, or making a new one onto a public road, needs permission from Clare County Council.
Do you cover all of Clare?
Yes. Requests from Ennis, Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Kilrush and Newmarket-On-Fergus and the rest of Clare go to one gate installer who covers the county.
Can a composite gate be electric?
Yes. A composite pair or a sliding gate can take a motor: €1,200–€3,500+ on a gate you have, or €2,500–€3,500 for electric swing gates supplied and fitted. Solid boards catch the wind, so the motor has to be sized for it.
