It's just an alley. I don't have much info on where to find a gate system. I don't think the measurements are universal, it may need to be a custom job. There are metalworking shops around the city that probably handle jobs like this regularly, reaching out to one may be a good starting point.

Yea that makes sense. I talked to Anvil and they definitely can do it. I was just trying to think of some DIY solutions but because I didn't know what to call it, I wasn't finding a lot. Even searching this sub for "breezeway" didn't really turn up anything. Most of the searches for "alley" referred to an actual alley between two rows of rowhomes on different blocks.

Alleys in Philly tend to range somewhere between drivable and something like this (although usually if they're this narrow, they punch through the block or connect in a T to one that does).
