Swinging metal gates are used when you want to create the most classic appearance for entering the garage and yard or when there is no way to install a rollback design.
Advantages and disadvantages of swing gates
Like any other species, the swing gates have their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is the simplicity in the arrangement of such gates. They consist of two pillars-bases, on which the frames of the doors are fixed, and already on the frames the material of the skin is hung. As a result, you can get a metal swing gate made of corrugated board, sheets of metal or forged elements. Such gates look very traditional and neat. Often this is the only type of gate that is suitable in style. For example, a swinging metal gate for a summer residence is widely used. Other advantages of such gates include a lower price of production, compared to other types of products, unlimited possibilities for decorating and finishing the doors and pillars of the gate, as well as the possibility of self-assembly.
The lack of a swinging design is most often attributed to the need for regular monitoring of the condition of the gate, since the metal doors under their weight sag with time, and also the fact that to open the doors in such gates a sufficiently large free space is required, which will need to be periodically cleared from the deposited sand , snow or fallen leaves.
Design of swing gates
Swing gates have the most rich possibilities for decoration and design. It is possible to create both airy, lightweight forged structures, and solid and massive gates, sewn with sheet metal.
The most richly and elegantly look swinging metal doors with forging . They are also the most durable. This can be used as separate forged lining, placed on the basis of metal, and fully forged designs, made to order on an individual project.
Smooth metal sheets for the door skin can be made more interesting by painting the metal in an unusual color or by painting it with various patterns.
Affects the design and how fitted the swinging metal gate with the wicket. It can be a separate structural element of the site fence and located near the gate. Another option is that the wicket gate is cut right into one of the canopy doors and is decorated in the same way as the rest of the structure.
