A battened gate runs vertical battens between a welded frame, usually a rectangular hollow section (RHS) frame around the perimeter with one or more cross-rails inside. Both frame and battens are commonly aluminium extrusions, the frame in 50x50 or 65x65 mm RHS, battens in 50x16, 65x16, or 80x16 mm. Galvanised steel frames still show up on heavier or more traditional jobs.
Battens at small gaps screen most of the view but let air through, so a 3 m wide leaf isn't acting like a sail in the next storm. Spacing usually runs 8 to 25 mm. Pool-compliant gates run tighter, 95 mm or less between batten faces, which leaves safety margin against the AS1926.1 100 mm sphere test.
CAD60's battened gate models accept frame profile, batten profile, batten count, and batten spacing as separate inputs, then rebuild every dimension line in the drawing pack from your numbers.
