Gate Types
Temporary Fence Gate Rental Options
Our temporary fence rental includes gates built into a continuous 6-foot chain-link line, ensuring the opening is as secure as the rest of the perimeter. The right gate style for your Missoula site depends on entry usage and swing clearance. situations that need fencing.
Swing Gates
Best for everyday crew entry and pickup access
Single 4-ft walk-through · double 12-ft drive-throughHinged panels pivot open and latch shut on their own weighted stands, providing the simplest way to move people, wheelbarrows, or pickups through a Missoula job site. A single gate fits most needs. For wider access, we offer a Double Swing Gate. Check rental price ranges on your site. 6-foot panels run $4–$6 per linear foot.
Cantilever Slide Gates
Best for tight entries and wide equipment openings
Rolls sideways · up to a 20-ft clear spanThe wheeled cantilever Slide Gate rolls parallel to the fence instead of swinging out, making it ideal for tight corners or walls where a swinging leaf would obstruct access, and its heavy-duty rollers and secure latch maintain smooth, true tracking across long-term rentals in Missoula. It creates a "wide vehicle opening" for loaders and flatbeds. This gate integrates seamlessly with our full lineup of rental fencing for any site.
Sized Openings
Pedestrian and Vehicle Openings
For a Missoula jobsite or event perimeter, we size each opening to “the widest thing that has to get through,” so equipment, vehicles, or deliveries pass without gaps. Pair it with the windscreen and privacy mesh we deliver to block sightlines or reduce dust. Keep access practical.
3–4 ft
Pedestrian openings
We install pedestrian gates for Missoula job sites. Our self-closing gate keeps your perimeter secure, and during long rentals, we maintain reliable hinge operation while performing footing and screen checks to ensure your fence stands firm against the seasonal stress of high spring river runoff. Call (866) 330-0268.
12–20 ft
Vehicle & equipment openings
The drive-through span accommodates pickups, flatbeds, forklifts, and loaders. Double Swing Gates cover the mid-range, while a cantilever slide gate opens the full 20-foot clear span for large machinery to pass straight through in Missoula.
Access Control
Padlock, Keypad, and Badge Access
Every gate comes equipped with a heavy steel hasp designed for a padlock, providing control through a padlock, keypad, or badge reader for a "controlled single-entry site." This hardware secures our event perimeter fencing we deliver, helping to keep your site protected. This is particularly important given Missoula’s local conditions. Short and secure.
- Padlocks & hasps — keyed-alike padlocks so one key opens every gate on the site, or bring your own to the steel hasps.
- Keypad locks — code entry you can change between crews or shifts, so no keys go missing and no lock has to be re-cut.
- Badge access — credential readers for controlled sites that need a record of who came through the gate and when.
- Bolt-cutter-resistant latch — an Ultra Latch-type security latch that hides the shackle a cutter needs, for high-theft and high-vandalism sites.
For asphalt or concrete surfaces, we use Hilti anchors to bolt the gate stands into the ground. This prevents the opening from being lifted.

Gate & Access FAQ
Questions about gates and access
Can the gate use the same key as my other site locks?
We provide keyed-alike padlocks for every Temporary Fence & Gate Rentals project in Missoula so you can use one key for the entire site, or you can manage your own codes because "access never depends on a lost key." Keep it simple. Please see gate hardware guidance.
How wide can a vehicle opening be?
We size gates for every job. On any Missoula, MT site, our Double Swing Gates cover openings up to 12 feet, while a cantilever slide gate opens a clear span up to 20 feet; tell us the widest equipment driving through our gate.
Will the gate stand up to bolt cutters?
Our standard hasp holds a hardened padlock. For high-theft sites, we install an Ultra Latch security latch that removes the exposed shackle, making it much harder for someone to use bolt cutters on your gate.
Do the gates work with my existing chain-link run?
Your perimeter stays secure. Because our gates are integrated into the same 6-foot panel line as the rest of your site, the opening remains as solid as the fence across Missoula, MT, with delivery and installation included. Call (866) 330-0268.
Can you anchor a gate on pavement?
We do not always drill. Free-standing weighted stands sit on most surfaces without drilling, but for heavy traffic, we use Hilti anchors to bolt the stands into asphalt or concrete so the opening stays put.
