Driveway Security

[magicroundabout]

Apologies if there is a thread already but I couldn't find one.

So along with home security we are also looking at securing the driveway to deter theft of cars.
Had an independent come and quote today (I was asleep as between nights) but has recommended aluminium as a security gate. All fitted I believe it'd be around £5k. plans will come through tomorrow.

What have others used? Is aluminium a better option for security etc?!

The gate would be remote via phones so can work with AppleCar play when approaching to open the gate on arrival.
Also has fob access and other security measures.

Just after some general help and advise

I did think aluminium maybe wouldn’t be ideal but without being there and part of the conversation I wasn’t able to ask many questions.

Tomorrow I shall enquire further and also look at bollards. It’s a minefield of information

I’ll report back tomorrow when we get the design and specification.

I will look at alternatives too
