What is a "bar gate"?
A bar gate is a type of gate made from metal bars, typically used to control access to areas like roads, parking lots, or private property. The bars are arranged in a horizontal or vertical pattern, providing a barrier that can be opened or closed to allow or prevent entry. Bar gates are often used in places where security or traffic control is important, as they can be locked or automated for convenience. They are commonly found at entrances to restricted areas, such as gated communities, industrial sites, or event locations.
Examples
The farm had a bar gate at the entrance to keep the cows from wandering out.
