For a very wide gate, recommended to go for folding gate. Less of a hassle especially if you park outside and your gate swings out.
For 14ft gate width, if your driveway has a minimum 20ft it could be a problem depending on the type of car you drive. My gate is 16ft wide and my driveway is exactly 20ft deep but it still feels a lil tight when parking side by side as there isn't much space to maneuver. The driveway width for my house is only 18ft wide.
Go for at least a 16ft gate and maintain your driveway depth at about 23-25ft and it should not be a problem.

QUOTE(gedebe @ Jan 23 2013, 11:09 AM) If I get a 15-16ft gate, does it consider too wide for a swing type? Because using folding type it would then take up around 0.5-1ft for the folded gate while at rest and folding are prompt to jam versus swing type, that's why I prefer swing, because even if I park in front of the gate, I can still swing the other half of the gate and only allow a small opening for me to walk in, while being mindful that the swing gate won't hit my car. You would be able to use swing but just note that your gate would jut out to the road at 7.5-8ft. Also in order for the swing arm to be able to take the load you would be looking at using the more expensive but lighter aluminum gates. Steel gates would be too heavy in my opinion and put too much stress on the motor arms to open & close gate. |
