Choosing a Gate Type

One of the primary reasons people invest in fences is to increase security at their homes or businesses. Although fences can be helpful in achieving more privacy, installing gates are also a great way to promote safety and security. For many people, selecting a gate can be a challenge, but understanding the standard gate options available may make it easier to come to a decision about what is right for you.

Types of Gates

Gates may be classified by the way they open, their purpose, or where they are located. The most common types of residential and commercial gates include:

• Barrier Gates- Arm gates move vertically and are primarily used for commercial facilities.
• Swing Gates- These are the primary type of gates used on residential properties, and open towards or away from a vehicle on a rotating arm.
• Slide Gates- This type of gate is similar to a swing gate, but is often selected when there is limited space in or around the gate. The gate slides into another fencing section to minimize the amount of space required to open the gate.

Fencing and security gates are a beneficial addition to many properties. They not only increase safety, but they can add aesthetic appeal, as well.
