Gates in Mayo
51,996 households live in Mayo, around Castlebar, Ballina, Westport and Claremorris and out in the country. One vetted gate installer who covers your county covers the whole county.
70% of homes here are detached, one of the highest shares in Ireland. Most have a proper entrance with room behind it, so a pair of swing gates is the usual job: €1,500–€2,500 manual, €2,500–€3,500 electric.
59% of people in Mayo 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 Mayo is decided by Mayo County Council. Gates up to 2 m in an existing entrance are usually exempt; a new or wider entrance onto the road needs permission.
