Swing gates — это самая простая и часто используемая конструкция. Она состоит из одной или двух створок, которые закреплены на столбах. Ворота способны открываться как внутрь, так и наружу двора, но для открытия требуется достаточное количество места, что является не всегда удобным. Ворота могут открываться как механическим, так и электрическим способом. Створы оснащены петельным механизмом, при помощи которого выполняют вращение.

But if there is no such need, they are made low, and at the same time can be decorated with various decorative elements. Swing gates are mainly made of forged grilles or metal sheets, which allows to increase the duration operation.
