So, you are completing the construction and decided to install automatic gates. Typically, this set of two gates: the gate to enter the territory and garage doors. Come to the Internet and see that as an entrance gate is most often used swing and sliding doors, as well as a sectional garage and swing. If you have a choice, the question always arises – and which is better?

Gate to enter

To answer this question when selecting the type of gates must be considered:

• yard layout and adjacent to the gate area
  Door-conditions,
• climatic conditions
• value.

Composition of the court and adjacent to the gate area
Composition of the court and adjacent to the gate area has a significant influence on the choice type gates. If a spacious courtyard and adjacent to the gate area is not limited to buildings, the choice in favor of swinging or sliding gates is determined by differences in their construction and principle of operation, entrance conditions and cost.

Apollo Gate Opener most familiar to mankind. The design of their known since time immemorial: the two pillars on which hung on loops two shutters. Additional options: electric, signaling systems, stoppers, latches, locks. They can be opened as the outside and inside the courtyard. And in either case, you must make sure that on ometaemoy flap surface, there were no facilities. Otherwise, may be damaged and the doors and objects in the path of their movement. This is the main disadvantage of double gates, which is particularly evident when the court restricted buildings.

Sliding gates are more complex in structure, but the signal lead to the opening shift in the direction (left or right), moving along the inner side of the fence, and do not represent any danger to objects located in front of them.

Conclusion:
If the yard is too small, and adjacent to the gate area is limited to buildings, the best option are sliding doors.

In order to determine in which direction they may need to fall back to the width of the opening gate, add half the width and measure out the result to the left and right from the opening. Thus, you determine the length of the fence is there enough for the full opening of the sliding gate. For example, if the aperture width of 6 meters, then 6 +3 = 9.

So for the full opening of the gate is necessary that the edge of the aperture to the end of the fence was at least nine feet. Assume that this condition is left of the opening from the yard.

Another equally important condition is the absence of stationary objects along the fence in the direction of the gate. This is due to the need for the device to the left of the aperture (in our example) is sufficiently strong foundation of a long, three meters. The depth of the foundation depends on climatic conditions. In the Moscow region is determined by the depth of freezing of the soil and is about 1,5 meters.

Terms entrance

Designing access roads and gates is a complex task, which should provide a convenient, easy and safe entry and exit admitted into the passenger and freight transport.

Consider the two most common variants of the entrance to the gate:

• Entrance to direct
• Entrance to the bend.

At the entrance of a straight type of gate is determined by the layout of the yard, and aperture width dimensions of a passing transport with a certain reserve.

Upon check in with the rotation because of the nuances of all much more complicated. It plays an important role the length of vehicles, call in the territory, the width of the carriageway, the distance of the carriageway of the fence. The longer the vehicle, the roadway and has less distance to the fence, the greater should be opening for the gate.

If the exit from the territory of vehicles crossing the pedestrian sidewalk, then the limited peripheral vision possible assaults on people. In order to best prevent such accidents gates must be equipped with a light or sounding an alarm notifying passers-by to leave cars.
Climatic conditions

Climatic conditions of the Moscow region on the choice between swinging and sliding gates affected by the freezing depth of soil and sediments in the form of snow.

Depth of freezing determines the depth of laying the foundation with which he is not squeezed out of the ground freezing. In the case of laying the foundation to a depth of less than the depth of freezing, freeze beneath the foundations of the moisture expands, distort it, which leads to distortion and failure of the gate.

This is true for both swing and sliding gate. The difference is that the foundation for the sliding doors more by volume, and, consequently, more expensive.

Precipitation in the form of snow at the opening swing and sliding gates are influenced in different ways. Since the height of the snowfall above the lower shotgun gate opening them without first cleaning the snow in front of the gate impossible. Sliding doors open easily, even with significant drifts. Therefore, travel or check into the territory after a snowfall depends only on the potency of your car.
