Gates in Kilkenny
36,685 households live in Kilkenny, around Kilkenny, Callan, Thomastown and Graiguenamanagh-Tinnahinch and out in the country. One vetted gate installer who covers your county covers the whole county.
59% of homes here are detached and 36% are semis or terraces, so both swing pairs (€2,500–€3,500 electric) and sliding gates (€3,000–€5,000) are common jobs.
48% of people in Kilkenny live outside any town. Long drives mean the power is often a long way from the entrance: running it costs €200–€600, and the cable should go in a duct while the piers are built.
Planning in Kilkenny is decided by Kilkenny County Council. Gates up to 2 m in an existing entrance are usually exempt; a new or wider entrance onto the road needs permission.
