Swing gates operate on hinges that allow them to open and close in an arc. They’re best suited for properties with ample space, offering a classic look for wider driveways and open areas. Unlike slide gates, which move sideways along a ground track, swing gates require clear space to operate and can be configured as single or double panels depending on your driveway size. If your gate opens like a door - pivoting on hinges - it’s likely a swing gate.
