Standard Single Swing Gate Frame | Fabrication Drawings
One full-width swing leaf spanning the opening, frame only. No battens or slats, so attach your own infill, sheet, or leave it open. Optional slant top for an angled profile. Carries the heavy double-swing frame (independent bottom rail, single rake for sloping ground, mid-rails with a diagonal brace) and pedestrian hardware: pick the hinge side, add a lockbox, a lever or ball handle lock, posts with footplates, and a catch plate.
Configure Standard Single Swing Gate Frame dimensions and download professional A4 PDF fabrication drawings with orthographic views and dimension lines. No CAD software needed. Sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What opening widths does the Standard Single Swing Gate Frame support?
The Standard Single Swing Gate Frame accepts opening widths from 200 mm to 30,000 mm. Enter your exact site measurement and the engine recomputes all frame members, battens or slats, and dimension lines to match.
What heights can the Standard Single Swing Gate Frame be?
Heights range from 300 mm to 6,000 mm. Left and right heights can differ to accommodate raked or sloped ground. The drawing recomputes automatically for any height within the range.
What do I get in the drawing pack?
Each drawing pack is an A4 PDF with orthographic views (front elevation, side elevation, top view, and isometric), full dimension lines, extension lines, and a professional title block. You also get a live 3D preview in the browser and optional STEP file export for CAD software.
Can I use this drawing for fabrication?
Yes. Dimensions are computed to sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model, not approximated from a template. Print the PDF at actual size, hand it to your fabricator, and build from it. Change any input and the entire drawing regenerates in about 60 seconds.
How long does it take to generate a Standard Single Swing Gate Frame drawing?
Around 60 seconds end-to-end. Geometry computation runs server-side in a CadQuery process with a 30-second per-request timeout; PDF rendering and download account for the rest. If you change a dimension, regeneration takes the same ~60 seconds — there is no manual redrafting step.
Can I save and reload my dimensions for the Standard Single Swing Gate Frame?
Yes. The free Explorer tier keeps 1 saved drawing, so you always have somewhere to land between visits. Fabricator saves every drawing you make and reloads the configurator in one click, so you can revise a quote, regenerate a clean PDF, or branch a design for a similar customer without re-typing dimensions.
