Exploring the Various Types of Gates: Which One Is Right for You?

There are several types of gates that can be installed in Milton Ontario, depending on their intended use and location. Here are some common types of gates:
​

1. 1. Swing Gates: These are the most common type of gate, and they swing open and closed like a door. They can be made of various materials, including wood, metal, or vinyl.
2. Sliding Gates: These gates slide open and closed along a track, and are a good option if you have limited space for a swinging gate.
3. Automatic Gates: These gates can be either swing or sliding gates, but they open and close automatically, either through a remote control or a sensor.
4. Pedestrian Gates: These gates are designed for people to walk through, and are usually smaller and simpler than vehicle gates.
5. Farm Gates: These are typically large gates used for agricultural purposes, such as keeping livestock in or out of a pasture.
6. Security Gates: These gates are designed to provide a high level of security, and can be made of materials such as steel or iron.
7. Garden Gates: These gates are typically smaller and more decorative, and are used to add visual interest to a garden or landscaping.
8. Pool Gates: These gates are specifically designed to provide safety around a swimming pool, and are usually self-closing and self-latching, according to the City of Milton pool enclosure by-laws.
9. Barrier Gates: These gates are often used in parking lots or garages, and are designed to control access to a particular area.
