Question
Do I need permission to put an automatic sliding gate on my Dubai villa?
Usually yes, in some form. Villa communities and master developers often set rules on gate size, material, colour and position, and a sliding gate needs space beside the opening to travel. Approvals may be needed; ask your community management or the authority before ordering.
Once you know the rules, we can help with a layout. A free site visit lets the technician measure the width, check the run-back space and the ground, and plan the motor, photocells and power point. Take a look at our automatic sliding gates page, or send a photo of the entrance to speed up the quote.
