A Gate
- A movable barrier, usually on hinges, closing an opening in a fence, wall, or other enclosure.
- An opening permitting passage through an enclosure.
- A tower, architectural setting, etc., for defending or adorning such an opening or for providing a monumental entrance to a street, park, etc.: the gates of the walled city; the palace gate.
- Any means of access or entrance: The gate to stardom is talent.
- A mountain pass.
This
gate with no hinges, rolling smoothly on the track, carried by an electrical
board, which fires a mechanical wheel to pull this heavy steel frame back and
forth. It is triggered by a remote
control. The purring sound of the movement with magnetic intelligence built in,
letting it know when it has closed far enough or opened wide enough. Every day it lets us out and then back
in. We rely on the engineering
functionality to work each day and often several times a day. It takes the elements of the weather without
fail. We appreciate its sturdiness. After all it’s our GATE.
