Car parked close behind
Folded panels stay beside the posts instead of swinging into the bonnet.
Folding gates for small driveways
When the car parks a few steps behind the gate, a folding gate is often the only automatic gate that fits.
Measure these three things first
Start with the clear opening width, the depth of flat ground behind the gate, and the wall length on each side. If the depth is less than a swing leaf, and the side wall is shorter than the opening, a sliding or swing gate will not work.
A bifold gate needs only a narrow stacking zone beside each post.
- Clear opening width
- Usable depth behind the gate line
- Wall length either side
Common tight-entrance problems
Drive slopes upward
The panels fold above the slope instead of scraping it, as long leaves on a swing gate do.
No wall to slide along
Corner plots and gates beside a garage door have no run-back for a sliding gate.
Pavement close in front
Nothing swings outward over the public footpath.
Pedestrian side gate
Add a matching side gate on its own access control.
