Car Gate Dimensions: Essential Considerations

1. Why Consider Car Gate Dimensions?

The gate is the welcoming point for prosperity and fortune, as well as the main entry and exit point for vehicles, including cars. A narrow gate not only makes maneuvering difficult and increases the risk of scratches but also affects the aesthetics and feng shui of the house.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a feng shui expert in Hanoi, shares: “In feng shui, the gate is considered the ‘mouth’ of the house, where energy is received from the outside. A narrow, difficult-to-navigate gate will hinder the flow of energy, causing negative impacts on the homeowner’s fortune and health.”

2. Factors Influencing Car Gate Dimensions

• Car Size: This is the most crucial factor. You need to determine the type of car you currently own or intend to purchase in the future (sedan, SUV, pickup truck…) to choose the appropriate gate size.
• Land Area: With spacious homes, you have more freedom in choosing the gate size. However, if the land area is limited, careful calculation is necessary to ensure balance and harmony for the overall house.
• Gate Style: Gates come in various styles such as straight gates, arched gates, and sliding gates. Each style has specific size requirements to ensure aesthetic appeal.
• Feng Shui: Vietnamese people often value feng shui when building houses. The gate size should be calculated to align with the homeowner’s age and destiny to attract fortune and luck.
