Pedestrian Gates: What Are Your Options?

Pedestrian Gates: What Are Your Options?
When it comes to gates, there are so many options and things to consider when choosing the right one for your setting. For example, pedestrian gates for commercial properties will need to adhere to the security preferences of the company, plus any regulations for the building type. Pedestrian gates for residential properties may opt for style over security if the homeowner has other security measures in place.

In our guide, we look at some of the options available from First Fence.

What Are Pedestrian Gates?

Traditionally, pedestrian gates are 1.0m to 1.2m wide and are designed specifically for people to access areas without vehicles. If you have fencing already assembled, this could be as easy as choosing a matching gate. For properties with mostly brick exteriors or no fence, something unique can fit in nicely.

Some infills and styles are more suited to commercial or residential settings. Gates for homes
