Bespoke gates are gating systems that are manufactured and installed to meet your exact requirements and needs. Gates can be designed in virtually any colour, design, and material. The type of system you choose will be the one that fits your individual situation as well as budget. Below is a look at the different gate systems you can choose from, all types of gates being automated where required. For more info on the different systems, click here.
Bespoke Gates : Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are practical, both for residential and commercial properties. Most especially when you are looking for a way to save space. Sliding gates may work using a cantilever system. Virtually all sliding gates will be automated with ease. Automated sliding gates are perfect for the entrance to your commercial premise, as well as to your driveway. They will open via a remote control or alternatively using a keypad option, sliding closed and locking behind you automatically.
Swing Gates
Swing gates require more room, but they are still a popular option. Many residential properties have swing gate system, gates being single or double. One important point to note when introducing motorised or manual swing gates is that they will only work correctly on level ground. Manual gates can be heavy to open and close. This can become extremely tricky when the gates are on a sloping driveway.
Vertically Opening Gates
Gates that open vertically can be a great option if you don’t have room for a sliding gate system. A gate that opens vertically can be a single gate or a double gate system. Double gate systems that are vertically opening are common for driveways. Single gate systems common for commercial premises. The height to which a single vertical gate opens will depend in the height of the vehicles that will need to pass through. You can also install a system that will limit the maximum height of vehicles in the same way a low bridge does.
Kissing Gates
Kissing gates are a feature that you will find in public areas such as parks. They are often manufactured from wood or from iron, and they impede the passage of vehicle through your gate. Kissing gates are often found as opposed to styles, and they will stop people riding bicycles or motorbikes along areas that are designated for pedestrian traffic only.
Side Gates and Garden Gates
As well as your main driveway gates, you may like to introduce a pedestrian garden gate at your property. Side gates can be useful for stopping pets or children gaining access to the front of your home from the back garden. Single pedestrian gates are also found commonly for pedestrian traffic at commercial premises.
Once you have decided what bespoke gates system you require for your premise, the next step is to choose the material. Wooden gates are traditional yet require high maintenance. Wrought iron gates look simply stunning on period properties. For commercial properties metal gates made from tough steel can be the best solution for your everyday needs.
