What
is the difference between rounded and square frame chainlink gates?
Rounded
frame gates are made from bent pipe. corners
are fabricated by bending the pipe 90 degrees. Square frame gates
are made by welding the pipe together to form a square. In our opinion,
there are a few advantages to choosing a square frame over a rounded
frame gate.
| For
one thing, square frame gates are stronger because of the welded
corners. When pipe is bent, some of the structural integrity of
the material is lost. |
|
| The
second reason is that square frame gates can be adapted to slopes,
whereas rounded frame gates cannot. Rounded frame gate leave a
large gap and the top of gate will not match the rest of the fence |
 |
|
The
third reason is that round frame gates leave a slight gap between
the post and the ground. This gap can often mean the difference
between keeping animals in or out of your yard.
|
|
| The
fourth reason is that we just think that square frame gates match
the fence they are part of and, flat out, look better. |
