swing gate

Pivoting fence door

A swing gate is a gate that opens by swinging on hinges, pivoting from one side like a door.

This distinguishes it from sliding gates, which move laterally along a track, or lift gates, which raise vertically.

Swing gates may open in one direction or both: The swing gate at the end of the driveway opens inward.
