Variants of modern gates for a private house. Beautiful gates and wickets for private houses

How to choose a gate so that they are comfortable, beautiful and serve without fail for many years? In this article, we will consider the features of different types of entrance gates and the experience of their use by FORUMHOUSE participants.

• What type of entrance gate suits your site

Types of entrance gates for suburban areas

entrance gate divided into several types depending on how the sash opens. IN country houses possessions are most often found:

• swing gates (they are folding or sliding);
• sliding gates (they are also sliding);
• folding (they are folding).

swing gate

This is a classic entrance gate: swing gates were made centuries ago. Over the centuries, their design has not changed much, and 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 gates move exceptionally softly and in the absence of a hinge squeak.

Benefits of swing gates

• simple installation;
• the ability to make a gate;
• you can choose almost any shape and beautifully fit the gate into overall design site.

Drawbacks 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 wings inside the site;
• require constant cleaning of their area of ​​​​snow and ice.

I have old swings now. In winter, I got tired of pounding snow and ice to open them. Now I plan exclusively retractable, and without the upper beam, so that the truck passes. And without the lower wheels - then the snow almost does not need to be cleaned.

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

Structurally, swing gates are divided into:

The diagram below shows a swing gate. The design consists of:

1. support pillars;
2. sash frame;
3. Sash filler (wood, corrugated board, sandwich panels, thin sheet steel, etc.)
4. Loops;
5. Stiffeners and braces;
6. Stopper, latches (for fixing the gate), lock.
7. Additionally, an automatic opening mechanism can be installed.

So that the supporting pillars do not loosen and the doors do not sag, they are installed in a fairly solid buried foundation.

It is impossible to make swing gate leaves from heavy metal, so as not to increase the load on the supporting pillars and hinges.

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

• at the bottom, 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 is not crushed or the finger is not pinched.

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

• in order for the fastening of the hinge to be strong, 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 supporting 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 DyadyaVovan made swing gates “according to the precepts of FORUMHOUSE”.

UncleVovan

I wanted swing gates, with the ability to later install a drive to open without problems all year round. And without the top jumper.

The gate and gate stand in common strip foundation, on it - three brick pillars with internal reinforcement. They are made from a corrugated pipe with a wooden sheathing.

UncleVovan

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

Sliding gates

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

Edis

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

At my dacha, a difficult terrain, a narrow street and a pillar interfere with the installation of swing gates. Result - sliding gates.

The diagram below shows the construction of a sliding gate.

It consists of:

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

Benefits of sliding gates

• easily withstand even very strong wind load;
• compact, do not require free space in front of them;
• 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 - in summer from debris, in winter from snow;
• it is impossible to install sliding gates if there is no place for a rolled-back canvas along the fence;
• they are significantly more expensive than swing ones.

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

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

Sliding gate systems can be divided into three types:

If the opening width cantilever gate- four meters, then on both sides it will require 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 its very corner, normal sliding or sliding gates cannot be placed there, but folding gates can be made. They have a telescopic sash, 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 with the installation of pillars, a thick-walled pipe at 150, 3m 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 marked the horizon with a hydro level. I made the sashes from a profile pipe 25 * 50 (horizontal) and 20 * 40 (vertical). With tacks he baited one and a half meter vertical pipes on the poles. Horizontal welded to the vertical along the entire length of the gate. I marked it into equal parts and welded the rest of the vertical pipes - we got a frame for the gate.

Then he welded the sheds, welded the entire frame (except for the baits at the poles), cut the professional pipes over the sheds with a grinder and cut the baits.

The folding gate frame is ready, it remains to fix the corrugated board.

These gates have been in service for several years and are very pleasing to their owner.

conclusions

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

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

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

In the event of a power outage, they make an emergency gate release system so that they can be opened manually.

On FORUMHOUSE you can read more about different types. Want to make it real! Find out ​Watch the installation video automatic swing gates.

For passage to the site in the fence, special openings are made. And so that this place does not remain empty and everyone does not enter through it, gates are built. The gate is something similar to the gate, only it is intended for people to enter.

Wickets can be made from various materials. This is a small sash that is hinged, like doors in a house. It can acquire various mechanisms of constipation.

Many options for gates are not so difficult to make on your own, with minimal skills and knowledge. Looking at photos of handmade gates, you can find whole works of art.

How the gates are arranged

The gate is arranged quite simply. This is a small door, which on one side is attached to a support post, and on the other side is attached with a locking mechanism. Fastening on one side occurs with the help of loops that provide the opening of the gate. To begin with, do not forget to draw a drawing of the gate with your own hands.

For the manufacture of support pillars, only round pipes were previously used. Currently, they have been replaced with thick-walled profiles. 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 made of wood, the pole will also be made of wood. But in this case, you can also use metal version because the wood in the ground quickly rots. No even the most powerful treatment can prevent wood rotting for a long time.

With severe freezing of the soil, it must be remembered that the pillars can “float”. In this case, the gate after the winter period will warp. The same thing happens with 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 from above and below. Thus, you can firmly connect the gate with the gate with your own hands.

Wicket from corrugated board manufacturing

If there is a gate from a profiled sheet, it becomes necessary to make a gate from the same material. To do this, you need a do-it-yourself gate scheme.

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

First, it should be welded to the laid pipes on both sides cross beams. Further, a vertical beam is welded to them from above and below. This is done strictly at right angles.

After the frame is ready, you can start 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, the frame seam can be detached from the pipes. Thus, it turns out that the gate opens and closes.

Next, you should make jibs and a middle bar and attach the lock to the gate with your own hands. After that, you can proceed to the most important thing - the installation of profiled sheets. They are screwed with ordinary screws.

In order to correctly determine the dimensions of the corrugated board, it is necessary to try it on by screwing on 2-4 screws, note right size and cut, and then fasten completely.

Construction of a wooden gate

Most often, when building fences, gates and gates in a summer cottage, material such as wood is used. This is due to 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 and many costs.

It is only necessary to purchase a cutting board and fasteners. Most important point with this construction option, the dryness of the boards is considered. To do this, they simply take those that have already been lying in a warehouse in a dry place for about two years.

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

In addition, the tree can be painted, but it is advisable to do it already ready-made, that is, after assembling the gate. It is also allowed to use a light varnish as a coating for boards.

Anyone can assemble the simplest wooden gate. The necessary skills for this are the ability to hammer nails.

DIY gate photo

Any owner of a private house, whether it is a country house or a building for permanent residence, upon completion of construction is faced with the task of installing the gate. In fact, the gates offered on the modern construction market, the photos of which can be seen in the article, are able to 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. Properly selected gates for a private house, a photo version of which can be seen below, are an adornment of the entire architectural ensemble and its face. After all, they create the first impression of the owner. Therefore, when resolving 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 wickets themselves can look ridiculous if they are stylistically inadequate for the house, other buildings and the fence.

When deciding on the installation of the gate, first of all, it is necessary to decide on the material.

materials

Wood

wooden gate for a private house, the photos of which you will see below, are a very popular solution. The reason for this is a number of advantages that a tree has. These include:

1. Environmental Safety material.
2. The ease of installation of the structure and the ability to perform such work on your own, without the help of professionals.
3. Relative ease of construction.
4. The ability to do without expensive and complex equipment during installation.

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

1. Painting and repair.
2. Treatment with antiseptic compounds to prevent rotting and fungal infection.

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

Decking

Gate options for a private house include structures made of corrugated board. This material is profiled galvanized steel sheets. Fences and gates for a private house, 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 your taste;
• relatively low cost;
• ease of installation;
• small mass;
• durability;
• no need for permanent care;
• numerous design options.

The main disadvantage of designs from this material is their lack of sophistication from the point of view of aesthetic natures. However, having shown imagination, you can choose an interesting color, as well as decorate the gate in an original way around the perimeter. As a result, the gate for the house, the photo of which you will see below, will look very attractive.

Euro picket fence

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

forged metal

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

• durability;
• high level strength and wear resistance;
• aesthetic appeal;
• the possibility of manufacturing gates on an individual order;
• compatibility with any other materials;
• providing an overview.

However, some people perceive the latter advantage as a disadvantage. In this case, in order to hide the situation in the yard from the eyes 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 poles during installation.

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

Varieties

After the choice of material has been made, the next step is to select the type of construction. What are the types of gates for a private house?

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

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

Today, two varieties 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 are two wings, which are attached to the supporting pillars with the help of strong hinges. Their advantages are as follows:

• ease of installation;
• ease of maintenance.

The main disadvantage is the availability of space for their opening. In addition, stoppers must be provided, since during strong winds the sashes can damage the body of an incoming vehicle.

Sliding

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

1. Difficulty of installation.
2. The need for more care due to the heavy load on small parts.
3. Prone to failure due to factors such as rust and dust.

Style and design

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

Gate

Speaking of gates, one cannot ignore the issue of the gate. Of course, the gate is necessary element construction, since every time it is very inconvenient to open the gate at the entrance to the site.

What considerations should be taken into account 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 violated. In addition, the purchase different materials may create additional costs.

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

The most popular type of gates are classic swing gates. Some homeowners 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 is suitable modern solution, as the entrance gate in a private house, photo examples of which you will see below. Their feature is that they are equipped with an electric drive and operate in automatic mode. All they need is an electric motor of relatively low power 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 the signal of the owner's car, and they 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 therefore is rarely used.

Photo gallery

We bring to your attention various options gate design for 14 photos.

Driving up to country house, first of all, guests see the gate and the gate. That is why it is quite important to choose not only high-quality and functional designs, but also attractive in appearance. Before buying a gate 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 is a row of gates for a private house

Fencing features

Following how a piece of land outside the city was acquired, the first thing to do is to fence it off from prying eyes. As a rule, either brick, or lattice, or profiled sheet structures are used for this purpose. This is necessary in order to avoid the penetration of thieves into your territory, as well as to hide the site from neighbors. Depending on the type of fence, the gate and gate are also selected.

Difficulties may arise during the acquisition of the gate, since they must be purchased based on the type of local terrain, the size of the building itself, as well as the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe 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 in an inconvenient place, then over time they will need to be dismantled, and this will require additional funds. For this reason, it is best to build some kind of plan in your head in advance.

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

Basically, gates for country houses are made from a frame leaf, their filler, moving accessories and bearing pillars.

The main purpose

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

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

At present, you can also find here and there wooden gates, which were made about 100 years ago and have survived to this day. However, such products should be well looked after, 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 at the same time it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that they must serve faithfully for several decades.

If you spend money once, you can inherit a fenced, equipped for a comfortable life country cottage area not only to their children, but even to their great-grandchildren.

Materials used

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

1. In the last century, at Soviet enterprises, the owners of country houses ordered welded sheets, which are whole works of art. Such material was used only for enclosing the territory from the roadway. It was especially in demand in the nineties.
2. However, over time, when the fashion and material condition of people change, rectangular, unattractive welded gates replace cast-iron structures. At the same time, 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 at the present time, however, such designs will cost a lot of money.
3. An alternative for many homeowners has become profile sheet products. Such designs are able to 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 enclose the site with forged 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, ranging from the most popular to exotic shades.
5. Gates made of eurostudent look rather unusual. In its production, a special technique is used: initially, sheets of metal are cut according to a special pattern, and then the resulting trimmings are attached symmetrically to the guides.

Gate types

Experienced specialists and owners of beautiful gates for a private house advise not to abandon 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 gates. Indeed, in order to launch or release someone into your site, you will need to open the gate. If the structure has a separate entrance, then there should not be any problems.

Basically, the gate is a single-leaf door of small width, which opens towards the roadway. Depending on the desire, the door can be selected as a lattice or deaf. 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, call. If the suburban area is small, then you can simply hang a knocker in the form of a door knocker on the door. Speaking about the types of gates, they are:

1. Swing.
2. Rollback.
3. Folding.
4. Lifting and turning.

Swing gates have their own nuances

Swing types

The first at the same time include console and suspended types. Basically, the owners of country houses make a choice in favor of swing varieties. If the main goal is to save money, then the most suitable option for a gate, it can be located directly in the structure itself. This must be done so that the installation is not so difficult. As a rule, for similar product enough to use two supports. For classic version, where the gate is placed separately from the gate, you will need one more additional support column.

Loops are attached to the vertical posts. Two types of elements can be used for this:

1. Metal.
2. Polymer.

Shutters 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 on the road and people passing by.

It must also be taken into account that the sashes should not adversely affect the hinges and frames, therefore it is best to use light types of material during hanging. Heavy ones under their own weight can sag, rip off supports, and sometimes even cause deformation of the entire structure. To lock a swinging gate, you will need to install a strong deadbolt, which will help ensure that the leaves do not sag during operation. The spring retainer will provide correct location paintings 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 the operating time, experts recommend organizing good foundation. If someone decides to save money on this, then repairs may be required in the future, which will cost much more. Another disadvantage of swing gates is the need for regular cleaning of the space from dry leaves, snow, so that you can freely open and close the gates.

Electric swing and retractable

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

This gate has 2 drives

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

The structure moves horizontally, so in no case should drops be allowed. 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 a folding gate is the use of several parts of a telescopic leaf, which close and open in a certain order. Expensive varieties of such structures can only be installed if they enclose a small area where it will 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 protection against strong gusts of wind. These canvases move along special guides. Free space for the normal functioning of this type of gate requires less when compared with a swing-out type.

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

Lift-and-turn options

As for the lift-and-turn types of gates, such structures are rarely installed 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 expedient to call a qualified specialist for installation. And this, in turn, will also require additional investments.

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

No need to save money on purchasing additional sensors if you plan to use automatic system closing and opening gates. For example, if there is no foreign object recognition option, the mechanism will not be able to stop, which means that the car can be damaged during the race.

Making out the fence of a suburban area with a house, the design of the gate 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 must 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 for decorating the territory adjacent to the house and selecting the main element - a gate with a gate.

By 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 functions, but also create a single ensemble with the surrounding landscape and the facade of the house:

1. The first thing to decide is the size of the amount 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, its decorative elements;

Note: The most expensive options include a blind forged structure, decorated with a complex ornament with a curvilinear shape. To the most budget option refers to the design of 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 gate and gate is to protect the adjacent area from outside encroachment;
2. Not less than important rule is the choice appearance structures, corresponding to the design style of the facade and the adjoining area. Thus, the appearance of the structure can be made in any architectural style.

Varieties of entrance groups

The entrance group, including the gate and the gate, differ in the way of opening and appearance.

Design Varieties

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 does not have holes or decorative windows. Such entry group practical and characterized by excellent protective characteristics, providing a sense of security and comfort. It is combined with a deaf fence made of brick, stone or sheet material. To give an aesthetic appearance, blind gates and gates are decorated with overhead elements;
2. Openwork (lattice). Such structures are chosen, if desired, to emphasize the appearance of the facade and the area around it, to show beautiful flower beds and small architectural forms on the site. At the same time, this design is not devoid of protective functions. If you choose a model with a simple decor, then it will cost much cheaper than a deaf option;
3. Mixed (combined). Such a gate and gate combine the advantages and features of the two previously listed options, when only part of the structure is deaf - from below or in the middle, and the edging is performed in the form of a lattice pattern. A blind 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 hinged opening method, since they do not differ in large width and do not require much space. Gates can have swing, retractable and roll type of opening.

Swing gates have a greater range design solutions in design, but their disadvantage is that when opening, a lot of free space is required. This option is suitable for large adjoining territories when the house is located somewhat in the depth of the site.

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

Design solutions for such gates are less diverse - the embossed protruding decor will interfere with the correct operation of the leaf. This type of opening is in demand for large openings, when two canvases are used.

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

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

Manufacturing materials

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