Modern gates for a private house: types, design, advice from experts

Classification by opening method

There are two types. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

Automatic system

For those owners of private houses who love convenience and comfort, such a modern solution as an entrance gate in a private house is suitable; you will see photo examples below. Their peculiarity is that they are equipped with an electric drive and operate in automatic mode. All they need is a relatively low-power electric motor and simple electronics.

Electric gates allow the owner to open and close them while at home or in the car. Currently, there are designs equipped with sensors that are tuned to the owner's car signal and open or close upon delivery.

As a rule, the electric drive is installed on sliding gates. Automation of opening and closing of hinged structures is expensive and therefore rarely used.

Mechanical drive

Such designs require manual opening with a key or by turning a special lock. They are often used for swing gates. The constipation is purchased together with the main composition or made to order.

There are two popular types of mechanical constipation:

1. Vertical. The sliding mechanism ensures reliable fixation. The handle block is placed between several metal rods.
2. Horizontally. The most popular type. Suitable for any gate. The retractable lock is placed between the metal bars in a horizontal position.

There are several types of mechanical locks available for sale that are suitable for gates...

Such locks are equipped with an overhead mechanism that is mounted on the frame and enters the base from below. If the design is two-leaf, then each of them will require a lock.

Beautiful examples for inspiration

Everyone has their own criteria for beauty: some like rich decoration, others see aesthetics in minimalism. If you want to make the gate primarily a decoration, so to speak, the “face” of your home, choose complex designs: use forging or welding of metal, as well as artistic wood carving.

For example, in the first example, the gate depicts a stone bridge with lanterns and railings, as well as a fisherman in a boat. On the second there is a beautiful gate with an amazing ornament around the edge and a complex plot.

For something simpler, but no less visually attractive, imitation forging is suitable: as in the example below. Wood-look corrugated sheets, metal frames and decorative hinges give the structure a special charm.

If the gate must be primarily functional, and design is a secondary matter, choose universal modern solutions. Gate shutters should be minimalist with geometric inserts: these will not go out of style for many years.

For example, on the left are WPC doors in a stylish graphite shade. Through holes in the center serve as both decoration and allow the hosts to see the guests, and the guests to see the hosts.

The example on the right is as simple as possible, but in line with modern trends. Owners and designers are gradually abandoning 3-meter blind fences in favor of neat fences - these do not block the view or spoil the landscape. It is especially important if the house is located in a picturesque area.

When choosing a gate design, remember: you need something functional, comfortable and beautiful! See photos of gates for a private house in the gallery and choose the most suitable ones.

Types of gates with a wicket

Blind design

Such doors are used if the owner wants to hide from prying eyes. Gates made of metal or corrugated cardboard are suitable for these purposes.

Mixed structures

This is the most common type, combining both through and tightly closed structures. They are often closed in the lower part, and forged elements are used in the upper part. You can also open the bottom and top parts and close the middle one.

Various photos of such gates with a wicket, as well as the price of a gate with a wicket, can be easily found on the Internet. If the surrounding area is small, but you also need to install a gate for oncoming cars and a gate for people, then it is permissible to place a gate right next to the gate. This option will significantly save the already small space.

Through construction

Metal is usually used to make such a structure. Forged products and metal mesh are ideal here. This type of construction usually does not use any other materials.

Dimensions of gates with wicket

Basically, gates are needed for cars to enter. The dimensions of the doors directly depend on the dimensions of the vehicle. So, for cars a width of 2.5 m is suitable, and for trucks - 3.5 m.

If the territory allows, the gates are closed; if not, then they are done at the gates themselves. It is not recommended to install it below 15 cm from the ground so that you can leave the house in winter.

The fence itself can be designed in such a way as to hide from prying eyes everything that happens behind the fence, or it can be reduced in order to look at the road and be able to greet a neighbor.

Pros and cons of gates with a wicket

Such doors have both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of this design:

• The ability to quickly enter the yard without opening heavy gates.
• Possibility of reducing energy costs when using automatic gates.
• The possibility of no separate entrance, which will significantly save time and money.

Disadvantages of a built-in gate:

• The presence of a threshold that will not allow passage by a bicycle or stroller. There will always be a risk of tripping over it.
• The top bar will prevent large objects from sliding off.
• The fence may begin to collapse under the weight of the gate. To prevent this from happening, it is best to secure it close to the hinges.
• A large entrance is not possible due to the design features.

Types of automatic gates

Electric drives attached to structures allow remote control. The owner of the house has the opportunity to open the gate without going outside, which is especially convenient during bad weather.

Main types of gates:

• sectional;
• lift-and-swivel;
• recoil;
• swing

Automatic gates are convenient, functional and practical. Modern drives guarantee safety of use and protect the mechanism of structures. Depending on the purpose, size, weight and installation conditions, the gate can be driven by one of several types of electric drives:

• lateral, three-phase;
• side tubular single-phase;
• single-phase central;
• other.

Materials for production

The choice depends on the raw materials of the main part of the fence, the design idea and the financial capabilities of the owners.

Euro picket fence

Recently, a new material presented in the form of metal strips has been gaining popularity. The width of the element is about 10 cm, and the length is 1.5-3 m.

The fence is made of galvanized steel and covered with a protective layer of polymers. This is a strong, durable and unpretentious material that does not require special care and can last for many years. Euro picket fence does not lose color when exposed to sunlight, the paint does not peel off from its surface. Its doors combine perfectly with brick and stone and have a presentable appearance.

Products can be whole or combined into a single whole. The product is presented in a huge number of shades; there are samples with interesting prints that imitate natural wood or stone. With all its advantages, the Eurostalker stands out at its affordable price and is available for any budget.

Metal with artistic forging

Luxurious openwork doors are particularly durable and have a unique style. Such products are often made according to individual sketches. The patterned surface does not block the area from the surrounding space. Typically, such products are chosen by owners of reputable country houses. For finishing, you can use similar forged models in the design of a corridor, parking lot, or gazebo.

Advantages of forged gates with a wicket:

• long duration;
• original design;
• forged elements combine well with other materials: wood, stone.

Disadvantages include the high cost of products and the need to comply with mandatory manufacturing technology. Forged grilles are incredibly beautiful. But creating a gate with a built-in wicket without losing aesthetics is almost difficult. Therefore, it is better to use these elements as decoration.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate doors can be installed, but their impact resistance is low. Despite this, polycarbonate has a number of advantages:

• Resistant to daily temperature extremes;
• Polycarbonate panels can have different shapes. They have different degrees of transparency;
• such gates do not need to be painted, they are not even afraid of mold and mildew, which best characterize their service life;
• you can give free rein to the design of such gates, because it goes well with wood, metal and artistic forging.

Profiled sheets

The popularity of the material is explained by its reliability and the ability to quickly design fences with your own hands. For finishing gates and fences, it is recommended to choose galvanized steel sheet coated on both sides with a polymer anti-corrosion layer (the material is marked with the letter “H”).

The load-bearing capacity of metal profiles is guaranteed by corrugation and special grooves, which add additional rigidity. Material benefits:

• resistance to corrosion and weathering;
• durability (warranty about 50 years);
• ease of installation (no special equipment required);
• wide palette of colors;
• ease of maintenance.

Among the disadvantages of profiled sheets, there is a “long overhang” (with hurricane winds and weak fastening, the sash can quickly deform). In addition, sheets can be damaged by strong impacts.

A fashionable trend has become the installation of European-type picket fences in summer cottages - profiled sheets of a special wavy shape.

Tree

Wooden gates with a staircase gate are a harmonious addition to a large, cool log house. Combines with elements of carving and forging.

The wood must first be thoroughly treated from moisture, insects (antiseptics, impregnation), fire (fire retardants). Such protection will significantly extend the life of the structure without loss of appearance.

The material for wooden gates can be thick:

• hedge;
• trimmed edge;
• wood cladding.

Advantages:

• you can choose any configuration thanks to the processing of light wood;
• these are just facts;
• you can make such a gate with your own hands, since no special narrow-profile tools are required;
• a large number of wood species are suitable for construction;
• with proper processing, the material will last for many years;
• presentable appearance;
• Huge finishing possibilities.

Cracking:

• requires regular care and maintenance;
• treatment with antiseptic and water-repellent compounds is required.

Types of gates for a private home

When choosing a fence, you need to take into account its functionality, convenience, practicality, protective qualities and aesthetic appearance. Gates come with solid leaves, openwork, lattice or mixed. Fence doors open in different ways.

Gates made of boards

Swing structures

Most often, gates consist of two leaves and a wicket. The canvases swing open to 90-110˚. This is the most common type of gate (open manually or automatically). The popularity of swing models is easily explained:

• simplicity of construction;
• reliability;
• low cost (does not apply to automatic);
• possibility of installation in a wide opening (up to 15 m).

The main disadvantage is the need for space for the wings to move freely. And during periods of snowfall, you will have to constantly clean the area in order to open the gate.

Traditional gates for a summer cottage or a country house.

When installing the structure, you need to decide in advance in which direction the doors will open. If outside, then behind the yard there should be a sufficient distance to the roadway. In this case, the car must be stopped at a certain distance from the fence. If the gate opens inward, then the area in front of it should always be free.

Forged gates

Sliding and sliding

A distinctive feature of the gate is that the door leaf shifts parallel to the fence in a mechanical/automatic mode. The operating principle of sliding structures varies:

• Suspended - a metal beam is placed above the opening, on which roller mechanisms are fixed. The sashes are attached directly to the rollers. The advantage of the gate is reliability and durability. The main disadvantage is the restriction of entering cars in terms of body height.
• Rail design - a rail is laid in the opening (across the road), along which the canvas moves on rollers. The advantages are that they are compact and that no special space is required for the movement of the sash. The disadvantage is that the rails must be constantly cleaned of debris and snow.
• The cantilever design is most convenient to use. The canvas is attached to a guide (cantilever) beam and moves by means of rollers. The beam can be installed at the top, middle or bottom of the support.

Sliding gates work on the same principles, but consist of two leaves that move in different directions.

Sliding gates

Advantages of the fence:

• long service life;
• work perfectly in any weather conditions (no special cleaning of the area is required);
• smooth (quiet) movement of the canvases;
• many types of canvas design.

The disadvantage is the high cost of installing a structure with automation.

Garage Doors

Lifting

Gates of this type are installed on garages. The blind canvas rises and is fixed in a horizontal position under the ceiling. The gates can be controlled automatically or manually. The advantage of the design is the ability to use multifunctional automation. If during the lowering process the blade encounters an obstacle, it will automatically return to its original position.

The optimal solution for the garage.

Advantages of the gate: compactness, reliable anti-burglary system, excellent for compact spaces. Disadvantages include low thermal conductivity, the ability to use them a limited number of times (no more than 10 per day), the lifting mechanism is sensitive to bad weather conditions.

Gates on brick pillars

Automatic

As a rule, almost all gates can be controlled using mechanical or automatic devices. Each option has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of automation are obvious:

• Comfort of use - the driver does not have to leave the car to open the gate. And this is especially important in bad weather conditions.
• It is easier to control the gate leaves in automatic mode, because you have to put in less effort than when opening the leaves manually.
• A wide range of models allows you to choose convenient gates for rooms of any size and different types of door opening (vertical or horizontal).

Naturally, installation of automation costs more than mechanics. If the automatic device breaks down, you will have to contact a service center (and this is an additional expense).

Sectional doors

Gate design and styling

It depends on the taste and skills of the owners.

An important condition when choosing furniture is compatibility with the facade of the house and roof. When choosing a color, this factor should also be taken into account. Contrasting tones are allowed.

Sometimes the poles are complemented with street lamps, adding brightness to the outfit at night. The doors are decorated with fine carvings, forged motifs and interesting ornaments. Lovers of minimalism limit themselves to selecting exquisite material for the gate, without using unnecessary decorations.

Below are the different design styles in which fence structures can be designed.

Provence

The fence is made in an old style. This is an example of a harmonious combination of stone and wood. It is recommended to lay pillars made of sandstone and limestone in warm colors; granite will not work. The stones should be reminiscent of the origin of the style: the southern coast of France.

The doors are upholstered in wood and painted in the following colors:

• turquoise;
• lilac;
• beige;
• light green.

The fence should give the impression of an ancient structure. Scratches are intentionally left on the surface. Is forging allowed? simple elements without patterns. Indoor garden plants are hung on sections or climbing roses are planted around the perimeter.

An example of Provence is a gate consisting of a whitewashed wooden fence on stone pillars.

Modern

Vivid examples of buildings that embrace this style:

• from horizontal aluminum profiles;
• forged openwork, decorated elements;
• multi-colored metal doors.

The main requirement is wavy and winding lines, angles, and floral motifs. In the Art Nouveau style, forged sliding gates are often created, which are distinguished by their modern design and long service life.

In order not to see what is happening on the site, sheets of polycarbonate, wood, and corrugated cardboard are made against the background of forging.

High tech

A direction that is designed to show a successful combination of minimalist details and expressive design.

Real materials for making doors:

• tubes;
• polycarbonate;
• chain link;
• gabions;
• steel sheets;
• terrace table;
• aluminum parts, profiles;
• wood with emphasized structure.

Pillars - metal, concrete, polished stone. For cladding, it is better to place pipes, panels or profiles in a horizontal position, emphasizing the originality of the solution. For high-tech, it is better to purchase ready-made panel structures.

Loft

A strict direction that many associate with unfinished renovations.

Main features of the loft:

• untreated, unpolished wood;
• brick pillars;
• concrete slabs without finishing;
• metal without painting.

The color scheme is mainly dark gray, black, brown. Playing with contrast is allowed: red with black, white with brown. The lines are simple, without patterns. Mezzanine gates: rough doors made of wood, iron, reminiscent of the doors of industrial sheds.

Requirements for garage doors

SNiP and GOST do not regulate how many meters the dimensions of a garage should be. Only recommendations and tables are provided on the characteristics of garages for cars, distance from individual housing construction (IHC), as well as other neighboring buildings.

Garage

The dimensions will depend on the type of structure:

• lifting;
• sectional;
• roll;
• recoil;
• swing

Drawing with the width of the product for the garage

The standard size is calculated taking into account the width of the car plus 90 cm on both sides (car door opening) or in the range of 2.6–2.9 m. For jeeps, trucks or minibuses, the height of the gate plus 40 cm should also be taken into account.

Decor

In ancient merchant houses, carved inserts decorated not only the lintels and porches, but also the front doors and entrance doors. Today they are trying to abandon wood; this material breaks easily, is susceptible to rotting and deterioration.

• At this point, they've been trying to build road entry structures for centuries. Paint is applied to prevent rust.
• Using paint, you can change the color of the gates and gates every year - today they are white, and next year they can be, for example, blue.

Wrought iron gates and gates come in open and closed types. With the first type, the entire view of the construction site is visible at once, and in the fencing, the metal elements are attached to the steel sheet.

Using special technology, a blacksmith can create not only a family coat of arms, but also various motifs, monograms, and designs.

Swing

Gates of this type are a timeless classic, actively used for both garages and entrances. Usually, double-leaf models are installed, but single-leaf models (for example, for a narrow entrance) are also not uncommon. The system can be equipped with one of three types of drives: linear, lever or underground. The last type of automation is the most modern.

pros

• The most budget option.
• Easy installation.
• Simple design.
• A variety of filling materials (forging, wood, sandwich panels, aluminum extruded profile, roller rolling profile, corrugated sheet). Thus, the product can be matched to any exterior.

Minuses

• Swing assemblies require free space.
• The need for regular snow removal.
• Automation for a double-leaf structure will be more expensive (than, for example, in a sliding system), since two drives will be required.
• Automatic doors swing open to a maximum of 110-120 degrees, which limits the entry angle. The exception is the underground drive: when adding to the kit, the doors will swing open 360 degrees.

Leading Brands

The three pillars that support modern swing gates are Doorhan, Hormann, and Alutech. Companies successfully produce both gates of various types and automation for them.

How to make it yourself

To install a homemade gate, you must have construction knowledge and skills. It is necessary to carefully plan the installation location, develop a design, and take into account many nuances. To calculate the required amount of materials and correctly determine the rigidity of parts, it is necessary to prepare a drawing indicating the exact dimensions.

Should be considered:

• dimensions of each door;
• total width of the opening;
• the number and dimensions of support pillars, as well as the depth of their excavation;
• gate position and size;
• loop position;
• design and dimensions of locking elements;
• placement of reinforcement parts: metal corners, lintels.

Necessary tools and components

To make a gate with a built-in wicket, you need to stock up on:

• main materials: wood, euro picket fence, corrugated cardboard;
• self-tapping screws;
• metal pipes of different sizes for making shelving;
• profiles for the manufacture and reinforcement of frames;
• metal sheets;
• a loop;
• shutters;
• locks;
• metal paint of the selected color;
• brushes;
• decorative elements.

In addition, you will need the following tools:

• Bulgarian;
• electric drill;
• plumb line;
• welding machine + protective mask;
• metal scissors;
• building level;
• roulette.

Installation of supports

Installation steps

1. First of all, we prepare the pillars: using a grinder, we cut pipes of the required length. Next you need to drill holes to a depth of 1/3 of the height of the stand. If possible, use a garden drill for this job. The diameter of the hole should be twice the diameter of the post.
2. We fill the holes with sand mixed with crushed stone to a level of 15-30 cm.
3. We install the supports strictly vertically and lay the foundation under them.
4. We cover the racks with any facing material that does not allow precipitation to enter. Brick, stone and even wood will do.

Creating sashes

We take repeated measurements to eliminate possible errors and cut out parts. We make an opening for installing a gate. We carefully clean all edges. We weld the sheets, first coming out of them with each other.

We process the places where parts are welded. To do this we run:

• cleaning seams;
• degreasing;
• stuffing;
• painting.

You can do without a primer and cover the surface with metallic paint, which can also be applied against rust. After drying, paint again.

The next step is to weld the hinges to the support post, then to the frame with a recess of 20 cm from the frame. The way the doors open will depend on where the hinges are attached - only in one direction or in one direction and away. To prevent parts from dangling and damaging the upholstery, limiters are installed. Heavy gates are equipped with three hinges on each side; For lighter options, two are enough.

We attach the sheets to the frame through the protrusion of the profile. We attach the material to the frame and stiffeners. If there is a need to connect two sheets - one is not enough to make a door leaf, you need to overlap the profiled sheets in a wave that overlaps one or both sides of the door, depending on the wishes of the owner. It is better to secure the corrugated sheets using roofing screws made in the color of the polymer coating.

If corrugated sheeting is used on the roof, then an identical product must be selected for the gate.

Welding frame and other structural elements

Ideally, metal pipes should be used to make the frame. Their cross-section must be at least 60x40. You can assemble a frame from wooden blocks treated with protective impregnations. Choose the material that is at your disposal.

To build the frame you will need a flat horizontal base. It will be convenient to organize assembly on it. We weld the parts, reinforcing the joints with steel corners or spacers as we work. To assemble wooden structures we use self-tapping screws or bolts.

Gate painting

If a material that does not have a polymer coating was used in the manufacture of the gate, then the finished product must be painted. Painting is done as follows.

• The surface is coated with a primer (the type of primer is selected depending on the type of paint used: alkyd or acrylic).
• Allow the product to dry. If necessary, repeat the priming procedure, and then allow the soil to dry again.
• The gates are painted with a roller, applying parallel, uniform stripes. Each subsequent strip should overlap the previous one by 1-2 cm.
• Take a contour and a brush, paint over all hard-to-reach places.

Coloring can be done several times until the desired color is achieved.

Features and installation tips

When installing gates, a number of conditions must be observed. This will help you get the job done efficiently and get a durable and reliable product.

• It is better to design doors of such dimensions that only a sheet of corrugated cardboard can be used. By avoiding joining the canvases, you will ensure that there are no seams, which are always the weak point of the structure;
• if the space formed below is too large, cover it with a removable panel for the summer;
• when making a wide sash, stronger reinforcement will be required. When purchasing material, it is necessary to provide for this moment and purchase products in excess of the planned limit;
• if you are not a welder, buy pipes with a wall thickness of 3 mm. It is much easier to weld such rolled metal, and even a non-specialist can do it;
• It is recommended to cut the parts for fastening the corners at an angle of 45 degrees. This advice is especially relevant when cutting out parts that form the top seams;
• measurements must be taken carefully. The frame size must match the door size. If a mistake was made, it is easier to correct it when the sashes are slightly smaller than the frame. In this case, we weld a patch on the door that will close the gap. Otherwise, you will have to cut the parts, reduce their size and weld them again;
• When making gates with a wicket, it is better to use profile sheet No. 8, 10. This may be a “C” grade, but the best choice would be the “NS” option with the highest safety margin.
• When manufacturing the sashes, efforts should be made to ensure that there are no sharp protrusions of the profile along the edges. It is better to finish the sheets with “recesses” along the edges. Otherwise, the gate will look sloppy, and its edges will pose a danger to both the owners and visitors to the house, as well as to their clothing.

Errors in gate construction

Let's look at the main mistakes when building a garden gate with your own hands.

1. The first common mistake is choosing the wrong season to install the gate. Do not install gate supports in frozen ground, as the entire structure may become scalded after heating.
2. The wrong choice of material leads to disappointment. When people try to install gates more economically, they build wooden gates for them. Because of this, doors very quickly lose their beautiful appearance and structural strength.
3. Incorrect or inattentive markings. Layout affects the outcome of construction work. It is important to approach this stage responsibly, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve a good result.

Installation Tips

Pouring the foundation into the gate formwork
Gate posts can be hammered in to simplify installation and reduce installation time. The hole for the metal pole is made with a garden drill to half the design depth (0.5 - 0.6 m). A support is installed at the bottom and hammered with a hammer head (a steel pipe with a heel and handles) or a heavy sledgehammer. This method is suitable for light gates; for heavy ones, standard concreting is used.

The parts for the gate are prepared in advance, they are made exactly to size, paired elements are cut identical. The metal for the diagonals is cut locally, so it should be at hand. Cuttings of a profile pipe, angle, or channel are suitable for this.

Finished sashes can be sewn only on the street side, or the sewing can also be applied from the yard. The material is placed without gaps; sometimes a slight overlap is required, for example, for polycarbonate. Locks can be welded to the frame or canvas; in another option, bolts with nuts and washers, and metal screws are used.

What criteria should you look for when choosing a gate?

The choice of gate depends on the functional and aesthetic characteristics, the degree of security, and also on how much space the owner is willing to allocate to it along the fence or on the roadway.

When choosing, pay attention to the following features:

• material of manufacture;
• type of mechanism;
• automation reliability;
• availability of burglary protection;
• installation method and maintenance cost;
• quality of the protective coating of the canvas.

When choosing a garage door, pay attention to appearance, thermal insulation, security, and ease of use.

Gate classification

Products are classified according to the type of material, purpose and principle of their action. The most common material for making gates is metal, followed by wood. Owners most often choose metal products as garage structures.

There are 4 main types of gates:

• recoil;
• swing;
• roll;
• sectional.

Other subspecies:

• double-leaf;
• single-leaf.

Advantages of metal products:

• ease of installation;
• high level of security;
• strength and reliability;
• long service life;
• resistance to various types of precipitation.

Advantages of wooden structures:

• low cost (boards, rails and other materials are relatively cheap);
• installation requires a minimum of tools;
• light weight;
• aesthetic appeal.

The disadvantages of wooden products include the following factors:

• fragility;
• low mechanical strength;
• fire hazard;
• low level of security.

Recoil

What types of gates are there? Suspended, rail and cantilever. In the private sector, console-type products have gained the most popularity due to their design features. Sliding gates can also be either single or double leaf. They can also be used for a garage, but this is rare.

pros

• They don't take up free space.
• Precipitation does not interfere with operation.
• Low windage.
• Easily equipped with an electric drive.
• One drive is required, which saves the budget.
• The filling materials are varied (forging, wood, sandwich panels, aluminum extruded profile, roller-rolled profile, corrugated sheet).

Minuses

• Difficult installation compared to other products.
• A free section of the fence is required (it should be one and a half times longer than the width of the opening).

Leading Brands

As in the previous version, the most popular companies producing sliding gates are Doorhan, Hormann, Alutech.

Functional options

Installed gates (garage, garden) can be opened manually or equipped with a semi-automatic or automatic system to ensure comfortable operation. But if the owner of a dacha or cottage wants to simplify entry and exit from the garage as much as possible, he must take care of autonomous energy sources. In any case, the choice will always remain with the owner of the country house.

The manual method involves installing (vertical, horizontal): latches, latches or other special devices that can ensure the safety of the vehicle. The main advantage here is the independence factor, when the car owner will be able to open the garage even if there is no electricity on the site. Another advantage is the quick and inexpensive repair of: groove, crossbar, and screw locks.

The semi-automatic method involves the use of a small control panel. The electrical device is usually mounted next to the canvas, inside the garage. The owner of the estate, by pressing a button, can easily open or close the gate. Semi-automatic systems, as a rule, are installed in parallel with the installation of swing, sliding, and roll structures.

The automatic system for opening and closing gates is fundamentally different from those listed above and looks most attractive to owners of garages and private houses who are accustomed to everyday comfort. Operation mainly occurs from autonomous power sources and operates with minimal user participation. The driver, without leaving the car, will be able to raise and lower the gate using the control panel.
