Swing or sliding gates: which gate to choose

When deciding between swing and sliding gates, it can be difficult to determine the best option. When choosing between these two options, space requirements, aesthetics, and practicality should be taken into account. UAportal talks about the aspects that should be considered when choosing.

Swing gates have an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but may require additional space for movement in and out. Although they may require maintenance and snow removal in winter, they are a visually appealing option.

Sliding gates, on the other hand, require less space because they work by rolling along the fence. However, some may perceive them as less attractive, associating them with an industrial look. However, they have technological advantages and are better suited for specific scenarios.

Limited space in front of the gate or uneven terrain favors the installation of sliding gates. Swinging gates pose a risk of tipping on uneven terrain due to height differences.

Infrequent use of swing gates can accelerate the failure of mechanisms. Sliding gates are more resistant to the effects of irregular use and environmental factors, and they are also windproof.

Although the initial cost of sliding gates can be relatively higher due to advanced technology and cantilevered fittings, the investment is justified by quality and durability.
