How to convert Colorbond fence into an auto swing gate?

[lionmango]

Hi All,
Going to be undertaking some works at home including the building of an alfresco area, pergola and concreting a near carport/park area next to the garage plus doubling up driveway from single.

The space for the carport is next to the garage and behind the colorbond fence. 

Is there a DIY way to convert that colorbond fence (approx 2mish) to an auto swing gate?

Note that driveway goes up from street onto land.

Hello @lionmango 

That definitely sounds like a fantastic project to be undertaking. In order to give our members a better idea of the current layout, would it be possible for you to post a photo of the front and back section of the Colorbond fence? I suspect that modifications will be necessary to reinforce the Colorbond when turned into a gate. There are some motorized gate products that you can look at but it would be best to get more details and see what you are working with. Once we have a better idea of the layout, we can them make recommendations on what can be done to set it up.

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let us know.
