A gate is a special door for entering a fenced area. It often complements the gate, being an element of the fence structure. Construction companies offer many different options for such projects, providing turnkey installation of the gate if necessary.

What are the types of fence gates?

Thanks to the large selection of materials and project possibilities, our customers have great potential for the optimal choice of the desired format. By type of construction, the following options are considered the most popular:

• Hinged. This is a classic model, which is a leaf, often in the form of a regular door. It is fixed to the support posts using hinges for the gate. The advantages of this format are low price, reliability and resistance to breakage, ease of maintenance.
• Retractable. It is also cantilever. It also has a leaf that is fixed on special guides. Such a model is most often chosen if it is necessary to save space in the yard and because of its modern appearance. It can be equipped with automation or remote control.
• Rail. An entrance gate that belongs to the segment of retractable or mobile systems. In this case, the guide rail is fixed directly to the ground. The gate also saves space, makes it possible to install a large leaf and is characterized by durability.
• Sectional. This is a fence with a gate of the installed type. Such installation of the fence is considered the most complex in terms of structure. The reliable design is based on a metal frame. The frame is sheathed with a material of the customer's choice. Sectional gates for the yard have automated control, are highly soundproof, are resistant to breakage and are universal.

What materials are used to install the gate?

Such a gate in the fence should be not only practical and reliable, but also aesthetically attractive. This is achieved by choosing the right material for the cladding and accessories for the gate. The most popular materials are:

• Wood. The material is ideally combined with stone, metal and others, but is best suited for a wooden picket fence. Installation of gates of this type is carried out quickly, they are simple to operate and maintain, and belong to the segment of environmentally friendly products.
• Corrugated board. In this case, the gates are sheathed with steel sheets of galvanized metal or with a polymer protective coating. Ready-made gates made of corrugated board have extremely high practical and operational characteristics, ensuring rigidity and lightness of the canvas, quick installation of the lock and handle. The metal profile withstands moisture, frost and corrosion well, and is also protected from fires.
• Forged gates. This format has an extremely respectable appearance. A wrought iron gate is considered the most expensive, but over time it fully justifies its price due to its originality and durability. Gates can be made according to an individual pattern, they are durable, impact resistant and last as long as possible.
• Metal. This option has a democratic cost, characterized by resistant characteristics to mechanical damage. The difference from wrought iron gates is a less interesting design of the fence. That is why decorative elements are most often added to a metal gate, and special powder coating is used for surface treatment.

Why is it worth making a metal gate?

Metal is the most common material used in the production of welded structures. Metal gates can be installed separately from the gate, be part of a stylistic solution or a full-fledged part of the gate. The advantages of choosing this particular material include the following:

• Extraordinary strength and reliability - metal gates last much longer than other models.
• Resistance to environmental influences - treatment with special substances makes it possible to protect them from rust.
• No deformation of the metal surface during the entire period of operation.
