What about the fence either side of it?

Drawn at the same time. A gate that does not agree with its fence reads as two separate purchases from the road.

Not necessarily. Posts, piers and rendered pillars are three different structures, and the leaf and the ground decide which one is right.

The gate is nowhere near a power supply.

That is a normal starting point. Solar, battery and trenched runs are all real options, and the site decides between them.

How far can the control run?

Further than most people expect, but the run length is what decides the cable, the voltage drop, and whether wireless is the better answer.

Horizontal timber slat gate between stucco piers, under flowering bougainvillea. — Inland & equestrian — West of the turnpike the county turns to paddocks and service roads, and a gate is sized around a truck and trailer.

Greenacres · Palm Beach County

A swing pair needs an arc. A slide needs a run alongside the opening. A cantilever needs neither but wants a counterbalance behind the post. Which of the three your driveway allows is a geometry question with one right answer, and it is worth settling early.

A gate set well back on a long drive is a different brief — a wider clear opening for a truck and trailer, longer cable runs, and a leaf that has to stay square with no wall to lean on.

Long driveways mean long runs, and every extra foot of run is another decision about power, voltage drop and control.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Greenacres actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.
