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.

Stainless still is The best for your option. Alternative can try hot dip galvaniz without paint
