Bi Fold Gates - Space Saving Security Solutions for the Driveway
Do you need a set of gates to secure your driveway but don’t have the space for a traditional 50/50 split design? Well, here at Garden Gates Direct, we are pleased to be able to offer a great value solution in the form of Bi-Folding Gates.
Handmade in the UK in a traditional wrought iron style, our bi-folding designs use a double-hinged system to reduce the swinging arc of each gate leaf. This makes them an excellent choice for any property owner that wants to enhance privacy and security to the driveway (or any other large opening) but does not have sufficient space to open and close a set of standard double gates. In addition to saving space on the driveway, this design is also an excellent choice if the driveway slopes up towards the house, making it well suited to properties on a steep incline or hill.
