At first the gates rise up, then move to the horizontal position and are removed upward. But this opening requires a small amount of free space, so that the flap can be opened without interference.

Automatic garage doors can be applied to any type of opening. The difference here is only in the automation block. Here, too, there is a gradation. The level is chosen by each. You can select the opening using the remote control, so that it's convenient to drive up to the gate and open by pressing just the button. You can install a scanner that will determine your car and, when approaching it to the garage, open the gate.

Cloth for the gate is made of different materials. This can be the usual wooden gate for the garage. Their price is not very high. If you plan a warm room, it is better to take a roller sectional door with a heater inside. Suitable here and linen, made on the basis of proflista. They can also be ordered with an internal warmth layer. Any of the options can be painted using the desired color. For a detached garage, it is selected in one range with walls or roof.
