Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate | Fabrication Drawings
Single-leaf swing gate whose vertical spear tips trace a half-ellipse arc across the top -- tallest in the middle (convex) or dished (concave) -- on a straight top rail. Heritage arched-palisade aesthetic with a choice of tips (crimped, arrowhead, pressed point, ball, finial, fleur-de-lis or fishtail). Combines a double-swing leaf (independent bottom-rail extrusion, single rake) with pedestrian single-leaf hardware. Each spear is a different length; a dedicated Spear Heights page lists every overhang plus a cut-length schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What opening widths does the Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate support?
The Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate accepts opening widths from 200 mm to 6,000 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 Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate 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 Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate 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 Elliptical Spear Top Single Swing Gate?
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.
