D5 Halfmoon Automated Gate Design
Metal farm gates, such as the Half Moon style can be produced out of a stable timber, but their material dimensions would be vastly greater so that a level of stability may be offered. This affects the overall style and this must be considered accordingly.
Estate field gates are a traditional type of entrance that can be produced in many different ways. They can be supplied as a single leaf swing gate, in sliding format, as a pair of gates, swing or sliding. They can be installed with or without pedestrian gates, infills and matching railing sections.
Finishes can be natural, galvanized, hot zinc treated, undercoated or top coat or an agreed RAL number.
Support posts can be metal or a combination of materials in various styles, decorative or plain. Steel support posts are recommended with box section preferred over tubular, for strength and security of fixing.
Gam baring hinges are used for automation stability and assured geometry with high levels of use and greater life expectancy. Physical gate stops are offered to suit the chosen method of locking and opening requirement.
High level ram operators are fitted to the top style of these flat top gates and open each leaf, back into the property, upon command. Radio controls, exit loop and a timed entry loop, allow for free access during daylight hours.
Audio communications link with houses on the estate allow for two way speech with occupant control for visitor entry. Automatic closing, once the entrance is clear, ensures added security, with psychological deterrent and protection of live stock.
