Gates and wickets serve as the entrance to particular building or place. For example a house, cottage or garden gate creates, together with the fence, the first impression on visitors and it may either invite them inside or discourage them from entering. A new gate of an interesting design boosts the whole impression, which the whole house makes. It depends on a good choice of the colour of the gate and fence as well as the material used. The gate and the fence should architecturally match.
However, the gates of big companies, factories and other places should serve as the entrance door and should have a security function. That is why the construction of this gate is higher, more robust and massive.
The gates and wickets can be divided into two groups - cantilever gates or gates to be parts of fences and fencing systems. Further on, they can be divided into single or double swing gates, electric and sliding gates. The gates and wickets serve as access security of particular place including houses, gardens, companies, building sites, playgrounds as well as domestic animals egresses. The gate should always serve its purpose well, be easy to handle and of a solid construction.
Single Swing Gates
These gates are mainly used as entrance gates to small places such as gardens, cottages. The great advantage is their easy installation and dismantling and the fact they don?t require much space. The disadvantage may be that they are not big enough for the car to go through them.
Double Swing Gates
They are usually used around bigger premises such as companies, industrial estates, houses, etc. The gates are offered in different types and sizes.
