U-shaped strip, fence connector in galvanized, moss green or anthracite grey

The hinges should be firmly welded so they cannot simply be unscrewed. An anti-lift device also prevents the closed gate from being pried upward off its hinges with a crowbar.

• Dig a rectangular hole at least 80 cm deep (frost-free).• Place the post in perfectly plumb and secure it with wooden battens.• Pour in moist C25/30 concrete, compact it well, and let it cure for a few days.

A clear passage width (distance between the posts) of at least 3.00 meters is recommended for comfortably driving through with a standard passenger car. If the approach is at an angle, more generous dimensions should be planned.

With asymmetrical gates (e.g. a wide leaf for cars and a narrow one for pedestrians), the wider leaf exerts significantly greater leverage. The gate post for this leaf must therefore be sized more heavily and anchored in a larger concrete foundation.

For maximum longevity, metal is the best choice. Powder-coated aluminum or hot-dip galvanized steel cannot rot, are extremely stable, and, unlike wood, do not warp with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Enclosures such as fences and gates are usually permit-free up to a height of approx. 1.50 to 2.00 meters (depending on the state building code). A building permit is rarely necessary, but municipal development plans should be observed.

Yes, with stable gate leaves, retrofitting is easily possible. Special brackets are screwed onto the gate leaves and posts, into which the electric linear drives or articulated arms are then mounted.

Modern electric gate operators offer a wide range of smart home integrations. They can easily be retrofitted with modules for Bluetooth app control, Wi-Fi gateways, or biometric fingerprint scanners.

No, this is prohibited for traffic safety reasons. Gates must open inward (into the property) so as not to endanger pedestrians and cyclists on the public sidewalk.
