Raspashnye gates - the classic of the device of the entrance group at the cottage

In architecture, the entrance group is called the gate to enter vehicles and the gate. Each summer resident is interested in making it comfortable and attractive, strong enough, ready to last for many years of construction. Although currently equipment for the entry into the territory is divided into sliding, lifting and swinging gates, the last, according to tradition, gives preference to the majority of summer residents.

As well as many centuries ago, the installation of swing gates is made on vertical poles, on which, with the help of various devices, including hinges, gate wings are hung. Gate leaves are a rigid frame made of steel material, and then lined with selected material. They can open both inside the yard and out. The paneling for the shutters is the most diverse, starting from traditional wood or forged elements, and ending with combined modern materials, profiled sheeting or steel sheets. When choosing a skin, you should stop on light materials. Heavy materials will increase the load on the fastening hinges, so the swing gates will wear out sooner.

An important element of such a gate is a strong bolt. He not only firmly locked the doors, but also does not allow them to sag and loosen. With strong gusts of wind and frequent use, the supports are loosened, and the massive doors can still sag. That is why, when installing the swing gates, it is necessary to arrange a very deep foundation for supporting poles. But this is not a drawback, because unlike the sliding gates, the swing gates do not need to allocate an additional area for rolling the canvas.

At the same time, the swing gates, trimmed with wood in our climatic zone, are becoming less popular. Inconvenient operation is the gate, covered with heavy materials, because they are very difficult to open. Most dacha owners prefer light weight doors, which open themselves from a slight push by hand, and many choose automation, because it is so convenient to control the gates with the help of the control panel, although the automation is more suitable for sliding structures.

With regard to production and installation, today the services in the field of equipment of the entry group are carried out by many companies. Very many owners of summer cottages willingly undertake this work independently and successfully implement it. What is needed for this? Buy a ready-made kit with all the elements necessary to assemble the structure, select the suitable materials and start acting.

Choosing a swing gates, pay attention to the fact that they are conveniently opened, that is, in the direction that is most suitable for you. Remember that this choice is made for many years, because it is not so simple to technically replace already installed swing doors for another type of gate, for example, sliding console, which are installed only from the inside of the dacha with the help of block-carriages.
