• Gate without a gate. A good option for automatic systems (as in the photo above). If you prefer to drive on a personal car walking on foot, then in such a small opening there is no particular need.
• Gate with built-in wicket. In the event that there is simply no place on your site for arranging a complete wicket, you can install country doors with a built-in wicket, which will be an excellent way out of this situation.
