It is true, the gates mainly ensure the security of your property. However, this does not prevent you from opting for an aesthetic and design model. Indeed, judiciously selected, an entrance gate will transform the image of your home in the eyes of passers-by.
For a few years, my gate already needed to be changed. Unfortunately, having other priority work to schedule in the house, I always postponed its replacement. But today, with the leaves starting to wear out and get damaged, I no longer have a choice:I have to order a new exterior door as soon as possible. And before defining the purchase criteria for your gate, first think about taking its dimensions.
It would no longer be missing that we deliver a portal with dimensions that are too small or too large! In addition, by knowing precisely its odds, you can have quotes made and thus have a precise idea of the amount you will have to pay. Indeed, the cost price of such equipment will vary mainly depending on its material. Be careful though, the replacement of an exterior gate remains a long-term investment. Even if it means increasing the budget a little, choose resistant materials. As for me, I will mainly bet on solidity and longevity by ordering an aluminum gate.
In your budget, do not forget to also take into account the remuneration of the professional who will take care of the installation. Moreover, as the gate is the first visual element of your property, it must match the style of your home and the general atmosphere of the place. So, to avoid unsightly mistakes in taste, I made sure that the model and material of my gate harmonized with the plants of the adjacent hedges. I am very satisfied with the result and the aesthetic effect obtained.
Of course, the future location of the portal will also play an important role in its choice. Taking my case as an example, since I had a lot of space in the yard, I was completely free to choose between a model with two leaves or a sliding model. And my preferences went to swing gates for the authentic cachet they give to my house that I saw on a large file on the subject on Côté Maison.
However, as my property does not directly overlook the public road, I had enough clearance space to choose either an opening on the street side or on the garden side. On the other hand, if there had been a lack of space, the sliding gate would have been a very good compromise. With a linear sliding opening system along the hedges, this gate model does not actually require a lot of space.
However, left or right, regardless of its direction of movement, a clearance space of five meters is however necessary on the sides of the pillars for the door to be removable on its track. Finally, due to their opening modes, exterior gates with leaves are not suitable for entering land on an inclination or with a steep slope. This is particularly the case if vehicles travel there regularly. Otherwise, sliding or swinging, any gate model can be motorized.
