Only seven moving parts are designed into each vertical pivot gate ensuring low maintenance - a statement others cannot make. Twin barriers up to 50 feet in length and 9 feet in height have proven themselves in winds exceeding 100 mph and in extreme surface temperatures. Each vertical pivot gate is backed by the industries finest 3-year limited warranty. Our satisfaction guaranteed policy ensures that your vertical pivot gate will provide the highest value for your application entry after entry and year after year. In fact, we are so confident in our quality assurance program that we also offer a six month return policy if you are not completely satisfied.
