When it comes to handling snowy weather, cantilever sliding gates are a step above swing style gates. This is because cantilever sliding gates have the ability to retract, slicing through the snow, rather than compounding it. Cantilever style sliding gates are suspended above the ground and do not have wheels. In fact, they can be set at a higher height above the average snowfall; making the entryway easier to navigate in inclement weather. Meanwhile, a swing gate has to barrel through piles of snow, potentially blocking you in or out of your property. At times, homeowners need to get out of the car and shovel snow out of the way enabling the swing gate to open; while others leave their gate open during peak snow times (reducing the property’s security). Compare the scenarios below and see how the cantilever slide gate stacks up against a swing gate in northern states prone to snowfall.
