Photo
Start with two photos (up to 6), standing on the street, square to the opening, with both posts in frame. An empty opening works too: Instant Quote proposes a gate that suits the house and the fence beside it.

Photograph the opening from the street. A few minutes later a 3D gate stands between your own posts: change the style, the opener and the fence, and the installed price moves with every choice.
Two free scans, no account, no card. To put it on your website: $249, plus about $1 per scan, itemized on your invoice.
No measuring visit to start, no catalog to leaf through. A photo, a design you can walk around, and a price range for the whole gate installed.

An old gate or an empty opening
Instant Quote reads the opening, the posts and the fence and stands a 3D gate in it. Click any part to change its finish, and set the rest beside it: swing or slide, the top, the infill, the posts, the opener. Open it to see it move.
Orbit it, open it, change any part
Every change re-prices the gate installed, line by line: the leaves, the posts, the opener and its safety eyes, the power, the fence. Confirm the width you measured and the range tightens.
An installed price range · a share link
Each choice below is a control in Instant Quote, drawn in the 3D gate and priced in the estimate. A rule worth knowing, like the safety eyes an automated gate needs or the track a gravel drive will not hold, is said beside the control it is about.
Single swing, double swing, slide, cantilever or bi-fold; swinging in or out, sliding to either side.
A flat, arch, concave, bell, double bell, scallop, peaked, swan or gothic top, any height from 3 to 10 ft, and the rise of the curve.
Vertical pickets, horizontal slats, vertical boards, board on board, solid panel, louvers, mesh, ornamental or chain link, with the board size and the gap between them.
Aluminum, steel, wrought iron, wood or vinyl, in the stains and powder coats of Instant Quote’s catalog; finials, rings and scrolls on a picket gate.
Square steel, round steel, wood, brick pillar, stone pillar or stucco pillar, with caps and lights; a walk gate beside them, the fence either side and a drive of concrete, asphalt, pavers, gravel, grass or dirt.
Linear arm, articulated arm, underground, slide (rack and pinion) or bi-fold drive, on mains or solar, with a keypad, remotes, a phone app or an intercom.
Instant Quote’s own estimator, running on its sample gate. Change the gate and the range moves; nothing on this card is typed in by hand.
The sample gate: a 14' opening, 5' tall, aluminum frame, square steel posts, a fence either side.

A planning range, not a bid. Confirm on site and with your subs before anyone signs. The width here is an estimate, so the range is wide; confirming a measured width in Instant Quote tightens it.
Design your gateThe gate designer can run under your company’s name, logo and colours, open straight on the gate, and quote from Instant Quote’s regional pricing. Link to it from your site and the customer arrives ready to design, with your phone number on the quote they share.
