Cantilever gate design involves a gate supported by one end only, anchored to a post. Its essential components include the cantilever beam, gate post, hinges, and pivot points. Common materials used are steel, aluminum, vinyl, wood, and composite materials, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Design considerations include loads (gate weight, wind, impact), aesthetics, safety, codes, and industry standards. Hardware and accessories such as operators, locks, handles, and latches enhance functionality. Related structures like fences and driveways may be integrated, along with intercoms, remote controls, and security cameras. Professionals involved include engineers, architects, contractors, and installers, using tools like finite element analysis for structural analysis. Industry organizations like AWS and AISC provide support and resources to gate professionals.
