Gate selection criteria for a country house: Types of structure
Sliding gates
A gate can be a good decoration of the fence, especially if it is the sliding gates that significantly reduce the efforts spent on opening and closing the gate. Distinguish between three main types of sliding gates.
Suspended sliding gates
Each of us has repeatedly encountered this type of gate, which have long been installed at industrial facilities. The design of such gates is a beam that is installed above the opening of the gate. The gates themselves are suspended on the rollers. The design is bulky and recently little used, although very strong. Unfortunately, there are height restrictions.
Rail slide gates
This design is of particular interest, as it has a fairly simple design. However, it requires constant care in the form of cleaning the passage. In addition, it is not designed for strong gusts of wind and snow drifts. The design of the gate is a rail laid across. In this case, the gates are installed on wheels, and to give stability, the gateway is held on top of the rollers. Railway gates on the rail do not require a lot of space for rollback, while covering the openings of large sizes.
