Gates, types of gates and their installation

The choice of entrance gate depends on the exterior of the building, the type of fence, if it is already installed, and, of course, on preferences and financial capabilities. In addition, there are nuances, depending on which the choice of entrance gates may be limited to some models.

Types of metal gates

The appearance of the gate should be in harmony with the appearance of the immovable object on the territory.

According to the method of opening, entry gates are divided into:

  • Swing, the design of which is classic. Structurally, there are two flaps that, when opened, open outwards or inwards. The most ordered option. This option requires free space in front of the gate, as the car will need to be placed at some distance from it, at the distance of the open leaf.
  • retractable or sliding. It is a leaf that rolls away, thanks to the rollers, along the canvas of the fence along the console either to the left or to the right. Such gates are also called cantilever type gates. The use of a sliding gate is convenient in case of a lack of free space in front of the entrance to the yard. The car can stop close to the gate.
  • lifting Types of lifting gates are lifting roller shutters, lifting sectional and swing-lifting. Such gates are most often used to design a garage, industrial entrance, since not everyone can get used to the unusual opening of the canvas in everyday life. They consist of a single structure. If installed to mark the entrance to the opening of the fence, they will cover the entire opening of the fence. To open or close them, automation is used or it is done manually. Turnstiles are quite expensive. Can be pushed out. At the same time, there is a visor over the entrance . The advantage of such gates is the value of the canvas. This feature is an additional protection against breaking the gate.

So, let’s analyze which gates are installed most often, their appearance, namely the type of filling of the canvas and their installation:
