Key takeaways
- Walk gates are often three to four feet wide
- Mowers and carts want a wider opening
- Swing direction and slope change the plan
- The Gate Gap Planner draws the swing for you
A gate is only useful if it fits the way you use it.
Match the opening to the use
People fit through three feet, a mower needs more and a car needs much more.
Think about the swing
A gate needs room to swing, and slopes can make it drag. Sliding and cantilever gates solve that.
Draw it
The Gate Gap Planner on this site draws the opening and the swing so you can see the clearance.
