How to choose a gate so that it is comfortable, beautiful and will serve trouble-free for many years? In this article we will look at the features of different types of entrance gates and the experience of their use by FORUMHOUSE participants.

• What type of entrance gate is suitable for your site?

Types of entrance gates for suburban areas

Entrance gate They are divided into several types depending on how the sash opens. IN country houses The most common types of possessions are:

• swing gates (also known as swing or sliding gates);
• sliding gates (aka sliding gates);
• folding (aka folding).

Swing gates

This is a classic entry gate: swing gates were made centuries ago. Over the centuries, their design has not changed much, but the advantages and disadvantages have remained the same.

Like many centuries ago, they are fixed to the fence with hinges. The only thing: the hinges, under the influence of the development of technology, are now used with bearings, thanks to which the gate moves exceptionally smoothly and with the complete absence of hinge creaking.

Advantages of swing gates

• easy installation;
• possibility to make a gate;
• you can choose almost any shape and beautifully fit the gate into overall design plot.

Disadvantages of swing gates

• “eat up” a lot of space on the site. It is possible to make such gates opening outward, but automatic swing gates in the vast majority of cases open with the leaves inward;
• require constant clearing of their coverage area from snow and ice.

I now have old swing ones. In winter, I got tired of chiseling snow and ice to open them. Now I’m planning exclusively sliding ones, and without an upper beam so that the truck can pass through. And without lower wheels - then there is almost no need to clean the snow.

Swing gates are suitable for large areas, the dimensions of which will allow you to open the gate, drive in without inconvenience, park your car and close the doors without obstacles.

Structurally, swing gates are divided into:

The diagram below shows the structure of swing gates. The structure consists of:

1. Support pillars;
2. Frame frames;
3. Filler for sashes (wood, corrugated sheets, sandwich panels, thin sheet steel, etc.)
4. Loops;
5. Stiffening ribs and braces;
6. Stopper, latch (for fixing the gate), lock.
7. Additionally, an automatic opening mechanism can be installed.

To prevent the support pillars from loosening and the doors from sagging, they are installed in a fairly solid buried foundation.

Swing gate leaves should not be made of heavy metal, so as not to increase the load on the supporting posts and hinges.

It will be more convenient to use swing gates if you install clamps:

• below, in the center of the gate opening - so that the gate remains in the closed position.
• spring clips, which will not allow the open doors to close spontaneously.

Eglis

It is necessary to provide protection against spontaneous opening and closing so that the machine does not get dented or a finger gets pinched.

Hinges are an important component of the design of swing gates. If they are installed correctly, the structure will be durable and last a long time. How you can place hinges on the sashes is shown in the diagram below, but, in any case, you will need at least four hinges with a rod diameter of 12 mm or more.

• in order for the hinge to be firmly attached, a plate 5-6 mm thick must be welded to the doors and pillars;
• there should be a gap of 5-15 mm wide between the support pillars and the gate leaves;
• the hinges must be welded in the opposite direction - then the sashes will not be removed from them.

A member of our portal with the nickname UncleVovan made swing gates “according to the precepts of FORUMHOUSE.”

UncleVovan

I wanted a swing gate, with the possibility of later installing a drive so that it opens without problems all year round. And without the top jumper.

The gate and wicket are on a common strip foundation, on it there are three brick pillars with internal reinforcement. They are made of corrugated pipe with wooden lining.

UncleVovan

The principle has been described many times on the forum. We cook a solid structure, then cut it into two separate doors.

Sliding gates

Sliding gates consist of one leaf, which moves along the fence along roller guides. This type of gate is just as popular as swing gates, although it does not have a centuries-old history. And all because they can be successfully installed where swing gates cannot be installed.

Edis

They are equipped with a special profiled beam at the base, moving along two rigidly fixed roller carts. This system significantly saves space on the site and does not require much attention in winter. .

At my dacha, the terrain is difficult, a narrow street and a pole prevents the installation of swing gates. The result is sliding gates.

The diagram below shows the design of sliding gates.

It consists of:

• guide post;
• foundation;
• movable rollers of the carriage;
• guide post;
• rail;
• gate leaves;
• drive.

Advantages of sliding gates

• easily withstand even very strong wind load;
• compact, do not require free space in front of you;
• to open sliding gates in winter, you do not need to clear snow and break ice;
• they are comfortable and reliable.

Disadvantages of sliding gates

• it is necessary to regularly clean the roller bearings - from debris in summer, from snow in winter;
• it is impossible to install sliding gates if there is no space along the fence for a sliding canvas;
• They are significantly more expensive than swing ones.

The frame sheathing is made of wood, corrugated board or sheet metal.

Sandwich panels on sliding gates can only be installed in the garage; this material is not recommended for entrance gates.

Sliding gate systems can be divided into three types:

If the opening width cantilever gates- four meters, then on both sides you will need six meters of free space.

In a separate article, we have collected for you the best examples of sliding gates made by members of our portal.

Folding gate

If the site is small, or the gate is provided in the very corner of it, normal sliding or sliding gates cannot be installed there, but folding ones can be made. They have a telescopic door, consisting of several fragments that fold and open like an accordion. These are quite expensive gates, so they are rarely used in private housing construction. But they are considered very reliable, and can be an excellent way out of a difficult situation.

​mednagolov

I started by installing poles, a thick-walled pipe 150, 3 m long. The height of the gate leaves is 1.5 m. Under the gate, the clearance to the ground is 15 cm.

Having installed the pillars, our user used a hydraulic level to mark the horizon. The doors were made from profile pipes 25*50 (horizontal) and 20*40 (vertical). Using tacks, I attached one and a half meter vertical pipes to the posts. I welded the horizontal ones to the vertical ones along the entire length of the gate. I divided it into equal parts and welded the remaining vertical pipes - we got a frame for the gate.

Then I welded the canopies, welded the entire frame (except for the baits at the posts), cut through the corrugated pipes above the canopies with a grinder and cut off the baits.

The frame of the folding gate is ready, all that remains is to fix the corrugated sheet.

This gate has been in service for several years and brings great joy to its owner.

conclusions

As you can see, all types of entrance gates have their own strengths and weak sides. And in order to choose the right entrance gate, you need to consider:

• their main purpose;
• terrain: if it is difficult, then swing gates will not be suitable;
• dimensions and configuration of the adjacent area: double-leaf swing gates are suitable for a spacious area, single-leaf gates are suitable for narrow and long areas;
• location of the gate - in the corner of the site it is better to make folding gates;
• how the gate will be located relative to the road and street;
• width of the roadway.

Any type of entrance gate can be automated. FORUMHOUSE members install a wide variety of automatic systems, from a remote control to a sensor that responds to weight.

In case of a power outage, they make an emergency gate unlocking system so that they can be opened manually.

To allow access to the site, special openings are made in the fence. And to ensure that this place does not remain empty and that everyone does not enter through it, gates are built. A gate is something similar to a gate, only it is intended for people to enter.

Wickets can be made from various materials. This is a small door that is held on hinges, like doors in a house. It can cause various constipation mechanisms.

Many types of gates are not that difficult to make yourself, with minimal skills and knowledge. By looking at photos of gates made by yourself, you can find entire works of art.

How are gates arranged?

The gate is designed quite simply. This is a small door that is attached to a support post on one side and secured with a locking mechanism on the other side. Fastening on one side occurs using hinges that ensure the opening of the gate. First, don’t forget to draw a drawing of the gate yourself.

Previously, only round pipes were used to make support pillars. Currently, they have been replaced with profile ones with thick walls. This material is much more convenient for welding loops; they are poorly attached to round pipes. In some cases, the hinges are hidden in a frame made from a corner welded to the profile.

When making a gate and a fence from wood, the post will also be made of wood. But even in this case you can use metal version, since wood rots quickly in the ground. Even the most powerful treatment cannot prevent wood from rotting for a long time.

If the soil is severely frozen, it must be remembered that the pillars may “float”. In this case, the gate will warp after the winter period. The same thing happens in heaving soils.

In order to avoid this effect, it is enough to bury the pillars in the ground below the freezing level and connect the gate to the pillar both above and below. This way you can firmly connect the gate to the gate with your own hands.

Wicket made of corrugated sheets manufacturing

If you have a gate made of corrugated sheets, it becomes necessary to make the gate from the same material. To do this, you will need a DIY gate diagram.

Consider the option with brick pillars. Metal pipes are pre-installed in them, to which the gate, or rather the frame, will be attached. For the gate, it is necessary to pre-weld the frame on which the corrugated sheeting will be screwed.

First, you should weld it to the laid pipes on both sides. cross beams. Next, a vertical beam is welded to them at the top and bottom. This is done strictly at a right angle.

Once the frame is ready, you can begin installing the hinges. The hinges are installed standard, so they must be welded on the same axis.

Once the hinges are welded to both the frame and the built-in pipes, you can disconnect the frame seam from the pipes. Thus, it turns out that the gate both opens and closes.

Next, you should make the jibs and the middle bar and attach the lock to the gate with your own hands. After this, you can proceed to the most important thing - installing profiled sheets. They are screwed using ordinary self-tapping screws.

In order to correctly determine the size of the corrugated sheet, you need to try it on, screw it on with 2-4 self-tapping screws, mark right size and cut, and then fasten completely.

Construction of a wooden gate

Most often, when constructing fences, gates and gates on a summer cottage, a material such as wood is used. This is explained by the lack of grounds for building an impregnable fortress. Building a wooden gate for a fence with your own hands does not require any special skills or much expense.

You only need to purchase an edged board and fasteners. Most important point With this construction option, the boards are considered dry. To do this, they simply take those that have already been in storage in a dry place for about two years.

For additional protection from moisture and sunlight, which destroy wood, the gate can be coated with a special compound. It will also prevent the appearance of pests in wooden boards.

In addition, wood can be painted, but it is advisable to do it when it is already finished form, that is, after assembling the gate. It is also allowed to use light varnish as a coating for boards.

Anyone can assemble the simplest wooden gate. The required skill for this is the ability to hammer nails.

Photos of gates with your own hands

Every owner of a private home, be it a country house or a building for permanent residence, upon completion of construction, is faced with the task of installing gates. In fact, the gates offered on the modern construction market, photos of which can be seen in the article, can satisfy any practical and aesthetic needs.

The choice of design is a responsible task, since its purpose is not only to protect the site from intruders. A correctly selected gate for a private house, a photo version of which can be seen below, is a decoration of the entire architectural ensemble and its face. After all, they are the ones who create the first impression of the owner. Therefore, when deciding the issue, one should proceed, on the one hand, from the point of view of the practicality of the material used, and on the other hand, from design considerations. It is important that the design does not violate the overall harmony. Even beautiful gates and gates themselves can look ridiculous if they are stylistically inappropriate to the house, other buildings and the fence.

When deciding on the installation of gates, first of all, you need to decide on the material.

Materials

Wood

Wooden gates for a private home, photos of which you will see below, are a very popular solution. The reason for this is a number of advantages that wood has. These include:

1. Environmental Safety material.
2. Easy to install the structure and the ability to do this work yourself, without the help of professionals.
3. Relative lightness of construction.
4. The ability to do installation without expensive and complex equipment.

The main disadvantage of structures made from natural wood is their flammability. Therefore, they are unsafe in terms of fire. In addition, such structures require regular procedures to ensure their safety and include:

1. Touch-up and repair.
2. Treatment with antiseptic compounds to prevent rotting and fungal damage.

Another disadvantage is the difference in weight that occurs when dry weather changes to rainy due to the ability of wood to absorb moisture. The result may be their deformation.

Corrugated sheet

Gate options for a private home include structures made from corrugated sheets. This material is profiled galvanized steel sheets. Fences and gates for a private home, made of corrugated board, are a widespread design. The reason for this is the numerous advantages that this material has. These include:

• the ability to choose any color to suit your taste;
• relatively low cost;
• ease of installation;
• small weight;
• durability;
• no need for constant care;
• numerous design options.

The main disadvantage of designs from of this material is their lack of sophistication from the point of view of aesthetic nature. However, if you show your imagination, you can choose an interesting color and also decorate the gates around the perimeter in an original way. As a result, the gates for the house, photos of which you will see below, will look very attractive.

Euro picket fence

It is a variation of the previous material and consists of profiled metal strips with a polymer coating. Designs from metal picket fence have aesthetic and modern look.

Forged metal

Forging allows you to create exceptionally beautiful gates; photo versions of such gates are presented below - and each of them can safely be called a work of art. The disadvantage of this solution is its high cost. Only fairly wealthy owners of private houses can afford to install a forged structure. In the same time, Forged gates and the gates, photos of which you will see below, have the following number of advantages:

• durability;
• high level strength and wear resistance;
• aesthetic appeal;
• Possibility of making custom-made gates;
• compatibility with any other materials;
• providing visibility.

However, some people perceive this last advantage as a disadvantage. In this case, in order to hide the situation in the yard from the views of passers-by, you can attach polycarbonate sheets to the gate.

The downside is the large mass, which requires pouring a solid foundation and installing heavy pillars during installation.

In addition to wood and metal, polymer materials can also be used: vinyl and slate.

Varieties

Once the material has been selected, the next step is to select the type of structure. What types of gates are there for a private home?

Entrance gate to a private house, photos of which are below, can be:

• sliding;
• swing;
• retractable;
• lifting;
• mechanical.

Today, two types are most common - swing and sliding.

Swing structures

These gates, pictures of which can be found on the Internet, are perhaps the most ancient solution. Their design is extremely simple. They consist of two doors, which are attached to support posts using strong hinges. Their advantages are the following:

• ease of installation;
• ease of care.

The main disadvantage is the availability of area for opening them. In addition, stoppers must be provided, since during strong winds the doors can damage the body of an incoming car.

Sliding

The main advantage of this design is that no area is required for opening. However, there are also disadvantages, namely:

1. Difficult to install.
2. Need for more care due to heavy strain on small parts.
3. Prone to failure due to factors such as rust and dust.

Style and design

The photo below will clearly show you what the design of gates and gates for a private house could be. Currently, there are a variety of design solutions that allow you to choose beautiful gates for a private home, photos of which are presented in the article. However, for those who are deciding which gate to choose for their home, the photo gallery at the end of the article will help determine the direction in which to search for a solution.

Gate

Speaking about gates, we cannot ignore the issue of the wicket. Of course, the wicket is necessary element design, since it is very inconvenient to open the gate every time you enter the site.

What considerations should be taken when installing a gate? Here it is also worth first deciding on the material. It would be quite natural and logical to use the same material for the gate as for the gate. Otherwise, the stylistic harmony of the design will be disrupted. In addition, the purchase different materials may create additional costs.

Where is the best place to make a gate? The best place for a gate - next to the gate. Good decision- use of the same support pillars to install the gate. This eliminates the need for additional support pillar, which speeds up the installation process.

The most popular type of gates are classic swing gates. Some home owners install sliding gates. However, due to the complexity of manufacturing, such a design is extremely rare.

Automatic system

For those owners of private houses who are fans of convenience and comfort, this modern solution, like the entrance gate to a private house, photo examples of which you will see below. Their peculiarity is that they are equipped with an electric drive and operate in automatic mode. All they need is a relatively low-power electric motor and simple electronics.

Electric gates allow the owner to open and close them while in the house or in the car. Currently, there are designs equipped with sensors tuned to a signal from the owner’s car, which themselves open or close when it is given.

As a rule, the electric drive is installed on sliding gates. Automation of opening and closing swing structures has a high cost and is therefore rarely used.

Photo gallery

We present to your attention various options gate decoration in 14 photos.

Approaching country house, first of all, guests see the gate and gate. That is why it is quite important to choose not only high-quality and functional designs, but also attractive ones. Before purchasing gates for your home in a store, you need to take into account what exactly these products are and what you should pay attention to during the purchase.

There are a number of gates for a private house

Features of the fence

After a plot of land outside the city has been acquired, the first thing to do is to fence it off from prying eyes. As a rule, either brick, or lattice, or structures made of profile sheets are used for this purpose. This is necessary in order to avoid thieves from entering your territory, as well as to protect the area from neighbors. Depending on the type of fence, a wicket and gate are also selected.

Difficulties may arise when purchasing gates, since they must be purchased based on the type of local topography, the size of the building itself, as well as the total area of ​​the territory. It is also worth taking into account the main purpose of the gate, the location of the street and the width of the roadway. If the gate is located in an inconvenient place, then over time it will need to be dismantled, and this will require additional funds. For this reason, it is best to make some kind of plan in your head in advance.

In this video you will learn more about fences for a private home:

Basically, gates for country houses are made of a frame leaf, its filler, moving fittings and load-bearing support posts.

The main purpose

For private houses or summer cottages, wickets built into gates are distinguished by their universal purpose. With the help of this design, it is possible not only to drive in and out, exit and enter the yard, but also, in combination with solid fences, protect the area from natural disasters. This is especially important in winter, when strong cold winds negatively affect the planted vegetation on the site.

If in ordinary panel buildings the entrance is considered to be doors that protect against unauthorized entry and indicate the material wealth of the owner, then in a private house this role is played directly by the gate.

Nowadays you can also find here and there wooden gates that were made about 100 years ago and have survived to this day. However, such products must be well maintained, otherwise the swing system or support will become unusable. Modern fashion suggests that such designs have long been outdated, and to replace them it is best to choose improved technological gates, but it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that they must serve faithfully for several decades.

If you spend once, you can inherit a fenced-in property furnished for a comfortable life. country cottage area not only to your children, but even to your great-grandchildren.

Materials used

Gates, as a rule, consist of a high-quality welded frame, which is made from steel or profile pipes. As for the profile material, only a stainless steel type is suitable for these purposes, otherwise the structure will require regular painting. For the manufacture of gates they use profile pipes. Other materials and production technologies:

1. In the last century, at Soviet enterprises, owners of country houses ordered welded sheets that were entire works of art. This material was used only to fence off the area from the roadway. This was especially popular in the nineties.
2. However, over time, when fashion and the financial condition of people change, rectangular, unattractive welded gates are replacing cast iron structures. Moreover, such products can also be called an incredible work of art. Such collars were cast by qualified specialists, and various ornaments and patterns were made in absolutely any shape and size. This technology is still relevant today, but such designs will cost a lot of money.
3. Products made from profile sheets have become an alternative for many homeowners. Such designs can fit perfectly into the main fence. And if there is a desire, then they can be installed in such a way that the place for entry and entry will be invisible from afar.
4. If a private house and its territory are decorated with beautiful stone structures, then the owners prefer to fence the area with wrought iron or lattice gates. To create a thermal effect, they must be sheathed with polycarbonate sheets, and a seal can also be installed. In addition, polycarbonate can be used not transparent, but matte. In modern construction stores There is a large assortment of this material in absolutely any color, from the most popular to exotic shades.
5. Gates made from European picket fences look quite unusual. In its production, a special technique is used: initially, sheets of metal are cut according to a special pattern, and then the resulting scraps are attached symmetrically to the guides.

Types of gates

Experienced specialists and owners of beautiful gates for private homes advise not to give up the gate. If you save a little money on its installation, you can create some discomfort for yourself, the main inconvenience of which will be the constant closing and opening of the gate. After all, in order to let someone in or out onto your site, you will need to open the gate. If the structure has a separate entrance, then no problems should arise.

Basically, a gate is a single-leaf door of small width that opens towards the roadway. Depending on your wishes, you can choose a lattice or solid door. If we talk about aesthetic rules, then the gate should ideally be combined with modern gates for the house. Additionally, it can be equipped with a video intercom and bell. If the dacha plot is small, then you can simply hang a knocker on the door in the form of a door knocker. Speaking about the types of gates, they are:

1. Swing.
2. Retractable.
3. Folding.
4. Lift-and-swivel.

Swing gates have their own nuances

Swing types

The former include cantilever and suspended types. Mostly, owners of country houses make a choice in favor of swing varieties. If the main goal is savings, then the most suitable option for a gate, it can be located directly in the structure itself. This must be done so that installation is not so complicated. As a rule, for similar product Using two supports is enough. For classic version, where the gate is located separately from the gate, you will need another additional support post.

Loops are attached to the vertical posts. To do this, you can use two types of elements:

1. Metal.
2. Polymer.

The doors are hung on these loops. At this stage installation work the owner must decide in which direction the gates will open and close. If the roadway is small, then it is best to install doors that open into the territory. As a rule, this method does not cause any inconvenience to cars passing along the road and people passing by.

It is also necessary to take into account that the sashes should not have a negative impact on the hinges and frames, so when hanging it is best to use lightweight types of material. Heavy objects under their own weight can sag, tear off supports, and sometimes even cause deformation of the entire structure. To lock a swinging gate, you will need to install a strong bolt, which will ensure that the doors do not sag during operation. The spring retainer will provide correct location canvases V open form, in closed - this role is performed by the limiter.

Installation of swing gates is easy and simple. There are several methods, each of which is suitable for absolutely any owner. suburban area, regardless of his financial situation.

To increase operating time, experts recommend organizing good foundation. If someone decides to save money on this, then in the future repairs may be required, which will cost much more. Another disadvantage of swing gates is the need to regularly clear the space of dry leaves and snow so that you can freely open and close the gates.

Electric swing and sliding

These types of gates are able to open and close thanks to two drives. Most often, the opening is carried out towards the internal territory, so the space must always be free, otherwise damage can be caused not only to the structure itself, but also to movable property. There should be no drops or rises on the gate.

This gate has 2 drives

Sliding gates are often called sliding or sliding gates. They consist of a canvas, parallel guides, which are located below and above, as well as a roller base, which is made of metal or caprolon.

The structure moves horizontally, so changes should not be allowed under any circumstances. To securely place the roller, you will need to organize a foundation where all the filling will be installed. In order to automate the gate, it is necessary to additionally install a block.

Folding design

The mechanism of operation of folding gates is the use of several parts of a telescopic shutter, which close and open in a certain order. Expensive varieties of such structures can only be installed in cases where they enclose a small area where it would simply be impossible to use other options.

Cheap folding gates look somewhat like an accordion, where aluminum sheets are connected using hinges, between which there is rubber, which provides protective functions against strong gusts of wind. These canvases move along special guides. For the normal functioning of this type of gate, less free space is needed when compared with the swinging type.

Additionally, such structures can be equipped with small windows. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that gates may differ from each other in decor and size.

Lift-and-swivel options

As for up-and-over types of gates, such structures are installed quite rarely on the territory of private houses, since the cost of them is high. In addition, many difficulties arise during installation, so it would be more advisable to call a qualified specialist for installation. And this, in turn, will also require the investment of additional funds.

Before arranging your entrance to the site, it is necessary to prepare in advance a plan for the location of the wicket and gate. It is also worth taking into account the fact that built-in gates must have a threshold over which you will need to constantly step, and this is inconvenient.

There is no need to save your money on purchasing additional sensors if you plan to use automatic system closing and opening gates. For example, if there is no option for recognizing foreign objects, then the mechanism will not be able to stop, which means the car can be damaged during the drive.

When fencing a suburban area with a house, the design of the wicket and gate is selected with special care. The entrance group, and this is what this tandem is called in the language of professional designers, is the “face” of the building; it should be organically combined not only with the facade of the house, but also with the landscape, both inside and outside the site.

Professional architects and designers are guided by a certain set of generally accepted rules when choosing a method of designing the area adjacent to the house and selecting the main element - a gate with a wicket.

Adhering to these simple rules, any owner of a private house will be able to select elements of the entrance group that differ not only in their protective and entrance function, but also in creating a single ensemble with the surrounding landscape and the facade of the house:

1. The first thing you need to decide is the amount of money that can be spent on manufacturing, installation of the entrance group and its decoration. The amount of allowable costs directly depends on the choice of material of manufacture, the shape and type of opening of the structure, and its decorative elements;

Note: The most expensive options include a solid forged structure, decorated with a complex ornament with a curved shape. To the most budget option refers to the design from metal pipes And .

1. It is important to pay attention to functionality, ease of use, practicality and protective characteristics of the structure - these criteria should come first, and only then the choice of design, since the main function of the wicket and gate is to protect the local area from outside attacks;
2. No less important rule is a choice appearance designs, corresponding to the design style of the facade and the adjacent area. Thus, the external appearance of the structure can be made in any architectural style.

Types of entrance groups

The entrance group, including gates and wickets, differ in the method of opening and appearance.

Varieties of design

In appearance, gates with wickets are:

1. Deaf. They are chosen if you want to hide as much as possible inner part courtyard and facade from prying eyes. Structurally, it is a solid panel that has no holes or decorative windows. Such entry group practical and characterized by excellent protective characteristics, providing a feeling of security and comfort. It is combined with a blind fence made of brick, stone or sheet material. To give an aesthetic appearance, blind wickets and gates are decorated with overhead elements;
2. Openwork (lattice). Such designs are chosen if there is a desire to emphasize the appearance of the facade and the area around it, to show beautiful flower beds and small architectural forms on the site. However, this design is not without protective functions. If you choose a model with simple decor, it will cost much less than the blank version;
3. Mixed (combined). Such a wicket and gate combine the advantages and features of the two previously listed options, when the blind is made only part of the structure - from the bottom or in the middle, and the edging is made in the form of a lattice pattern. A blank fragment at the bottom of the gate and gate will protect the territory from the penetration of animals, and the element in the middle will prevent gusts of wind and dust, and will also partially hide the territory of the site from passers-by.

Opening methods

As a rule, they have a traditional swing opening method, since they are not very wide and do not require much space. Gates can have swing, sliding or roller opening types.

Swing gates have a larger range design solutions in design, but their disadvantage is that when opening they require quite a lot of free space. This option will be convenient for large adjacent areas, when the house is located somewhat deep in the plot.

For more rational use territory, sliding gate models are recommended. A cantilever beam is used to fasten the canvas, and its movement in a direction parallel to the fence occurs using rollers. Such designs can be equipped with automation and remote control.

Design solutions for such gates are less varied - a raised, protruding decor will interfere with the correct operation of the door leaf. This type of opening is in demand for large openings when two panels are used.

Roller shutters also save space, and they are indispensable where even sliding structures have little space. In this case, the movement of the canvas, consisting of lamellas fastened to each other, is made upward - the canvas is wound on a shaft placed in the box

More often this method of opening is used on garage doors, where the side guides are securely fixed along the edges of the opening.

Manufacturing materials

In the manufacture of gates and gates they use various materials. The most popular are metal, wood and corrugated sheets, complemented by elements of brick, stone or concrete that serve as support.
