Double swing gates with automatic openers add elegance to your property
Today single and double swing gates will be the focus and how to know which one to choose. The honest and right answer is that it’s situational. The ideal gate configuration depends on factors such as physical restrictions, aesthetics, and your budget. Let’s delve deeper into the appropriate situations to pick a single swing gate over a double swing gate and vice versa and the benefits of each.
The Ins and Outs of Single Swing Gates
If you’re on a budget, one automatic opener costs less because it requires less hardware than a double swing gate. It will take fewer bolts, hinges, and hinge posts to install a single swing gate versus a double. You should also consider that you’ll need more distance behind this kind of gate. For example, a 12-foot single gate would need that same amount of clearance behind it, whereas a double gate would only need a 6-foot clearance. We suggest that you also consider that single swing gates require a heavier duty post to hang the gate off since all of the weight is on one post.
The Ins and Outs of Double Swing Gates
A double swing gate is ideal for your property if you don’t require as much swing distance behind the gate. Double gates complement wider driveways and fill a void in space. If your goal is to make your residence appear more elegant, a double swing gate is an excellent choice because of how they open from the center. People also most often automate double swing gates. It comes at a price, but it’s well worth it if you want your property to appear more stately, regal, and project the ultimate sense of security.
