double gate

Paired swinging barriers

A double gate is a gate consisting of two panels that swing open from the center, meeting in the middle when closed.

Common in driveways, garden entrances, and fence openings where a wider passage is needed: The double gate was wide enough for the truck to pass through.

Each panel typically latches to the other or to a center post.
