Swing Gate.

If space is not an issue double and single swing gates are the best option with a swinging gate generally being safer than a sliding gate. When considering the option of a swinging gate it is important to consider the size of the gate and its movement or operation area. A single swinging gate can be as large as 3 meters wide or up to 6 meters as a double swing with its operation area normally 90 degrees inward. In a situation where the gate position is on a slope the ideal movement should be toward the lower side of the slope to prevent collision between the gate and the ground and to allow smooth operation

Slide Gate

Sliding gates are an ideal automation option, especially when a swing gate is not possible. We would recommend a sliding gate where space is limited in some way (landscaping, boulders, etc.) or the area is required for parking. Sliding gate require storage area. This is the area that the gate slides into when it is in the open position, making the movement area and the entrance area double the size of the actual gate. Sliding gate require a level ground upon which to slide however with the right type of sliding gate operator a slight slope is acceptable. Sliding gate motors are designed to neatly fit behind existing walls or fences, without compromising space within your property.
