Retractable Fence Barriers – How the FANCY FENCE System Works?
The retractable-in-ground gate system is based on a vertically descending fence panel that, in the open position, disappears completely below ground level, leaving the space visually clean and unobstructed. The panel operates within a prefabricated reinforced concrete chamber that serves as a stable foundation and housing for the mechanism.
Thanks to its modular design, individual sections can be combined into retractable fence barriers of any length, precisely tailored to the requirements of the project. The panel's movement is driven by a system of cables, bearing-mounted pulleys and counterweights that balance its weight and allow the use of standard low-power drives. This solution simplifies installation, servicing and day-to-day operation, while ensuring stability, durability and predictable system performance.
A Fence Tailored to Any Project
FANCY FENCE gives designers complete freedom to shape the form of the fence, enabling the creation of bespoke solutions tailored to the character of each project. Panel infills can be configured at various angles and made from a wide range of materials, from steel and aluminium to glass or HPL panels, as well as materials supplied by the investor.
The flexibility of the system allows retractable fence barriers to be seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the building, regardless of the project's style or functional requirements. Detailed information on available variants and configurations can be obtained using the 3D CONFIGURATOR.

Freedom of Shape for Automatic Gates
FANCY FENCE metal retractable gates allow the fence line to be shaped freely, adapting to the project's geometry and the character of the space. Standard linear sections can be combined with segments arranged along curves or in broken layouts, creating cohesive compositions tailored to the building's architecture and the site's topography.

Customizable Infill Density for System Gates
The FANCY FENCE system allows the degree of panel infill to be adjusted according to privacy requirements and the character of the project. The standard version is based on a post arrangement with 100 mm spacing, while semi-solid and solid configurations are also available, providing greater visual screening while maintaining a cohesive fence aesthetic.

Variable Height of Electric Gates
The FANCY FENCE underground gate allows the height of panels and posts to be precisely adjusted to the geometry of the entrance, making it possible to secure even non-standard passages and driveways effectively. The solution performs well in projects with varied terrain profiles and unconventional entry layouts, while maintaining the overall aesthetic consistency of the fence. Industrial fences, private residences or public buildings – the FANCY FENCE system can be adapted to the scale and character of any project.
Modern Gate for Sloped Driveways
The modern vertical gate can be installed on driveways with varying gradients without the need for ground levelling. The panel's vertical movement eliminates the risk of contact with the surface, allowing the system to perform reliably in demanding site conditions and non-standard entrances. In the case of steeper slopes, the use of linear drainage on the higher side is recommended to ensure optimal operating conditions for the system.

Modern Fence Resistant to Sand and Dust
The key mechanical components of the FANCY FENCE system operate inside a reinforced concrete chamber under protective covers, which separates them from sand, dust and other contaminants typical of exposed guide systems. In locations particularly exposed to fine debris, optional seals can be installed around the panels to further limit the ingress of particles into the system.
Safety of Retractable Garden Gates
Retractable gates are equipped with dual photocell systems mounted on the outer fence elements on both sides of the gate. If the light beam is interrupted by any object, the safety system immediately stops the gate's movement. Additional protection is provided by overload sensors, which are installed as standard in the electric drives used in our gates.
It is also important to note that, unlike other types of gates available on the market, retractable garden gates do not pose a threat to people, animals or property even in the unlikely event that all other safety systems fail. The FANCY FENCE system meets stringent safety requirements, as confirmed by independent certification bodies.
System Gates That Require No Snow Removal
Unlike sliding and swing gates, which often require manual snow removal after heavy snowfall, FANCY FENCE system gates have no surface guide rails or movement zones, eliminating this issue. The panel descends vertically into a reinforced concrete chamber, allowing the gate to operate even after significant snowfall without the need to clear snow from the driveway.

Modern Fence with a Manual Operation Option
In the event of a power outage, the FANCY FENCE modern fence can be operated manually via a service hatch located in the central cover. The panel–counterweight mechanism is weight-balanced, so raising and lowering the panel does not require significant force and remains possible regardless of the electronic or automated systems.

Modern Fence Design with an Invisible Gate
The FANCY FENCE pedestrian gate does not use standard hinges; instead, it rotates around the outermost post. This is made possible by a horizontal beam that connects the gate infill. The beam can be positioned below pavement level, creating an "invisible gate" effect that blends seamlessly into the rest of the fence.
Clients who prefer the gate to be visually distinct from the surrounding fence can, of course, choose from a wide range of alternative materials or colours to achieve a modern fence design.
Precise Installation of Automatic Gates
To ensure predictable operating parameters and high build quality, the FANCY FENCE system is installed by specialized, trained installation teams. The underground gate mechanism operates within a reinforced concrete chamber prepared in accordance with design guidelines available in the Architect Zone, ensuring precise integration with the building project.
In selected locations, a prefabricated concrete chamber option is also available, delivered to the site as a ready-to-install element. Detailed information regarding installation and available variants can be obtained from a local distributor.
