Choosing the right
entrance gate is not obvious. To
enter and leave the property was comfortable, before buying the appropriate
gate model, you must include the
shape of the plot and the length of the driveway.
The most common types of entry gates are both
hinged and sliding gates. However,
you must know that not every entry gate will work on any property.
Hinged doors
They are also called
hinged gates. They are usually
built with two wings, although there are also single-leaf gates on the
market.However, this solution is rarely used due to the heavy weight of the
door leaf and the amount of space it occupies in the driveway during opening. The regulations clearly state that the
swing gate's wings must open to the premises so that they do not threaten
passers-by or vehicles moving along the fence. For this reason, when deciding to
choose a two-wing entry gate, you need to make sure that the driveway is long
enough that the car parked on it does not hinder its opening and closing. These gates will work well for narrow
but long plots.
Sliding gates
This is a good
alternative for hinged doors, because their sash does not occupy space in the
driveway during opening and closing. So
let's decide on them when the driveway is short. Before you decide to buy a sliding
gate, however, you need to make sure that the amount of space along the fence,
that is, where the wing is hidden is sufficient. You should reserve at least as much
space as its length, and in the case of self-supporting sliding gates, whose
wing has an additional counterweight, its size should also be taken into
account. Sliding gates are
therefore better for wide plots.
