1. What direction should the homeowner choose to build a gate?

In Feng Shui, five elements correspond with the following direction:

The North – Water
The South - Fire
The Northeast and Southwest – Earth
The West and North – Metal
The East and Southeast – Wood

Therefore,

Homeowners who are Element of Metal should not build the house and gate in the South. The South belongs to Element of Fire, and Fire is incompatible with Metal.
Similarly, homeowners who are Element of Wood should not build the house in the West and Northwest.
Homeowners who are Element of Water should not build the house in the Northeast and Southwest.
Homeowners who are Element of Fire should not build the house in the North.
Homeowners who are Element of Earth should not build the house in the East and Southeast.

Besides above taboo directions, homeowners can open the gate in the other directions arbitrarily. If it is mandatory to open directions above, homeowners should not make a large door, just small one to minimize the bad luck.

It should pay attention to choose the iron gate direction suitable for homeowners’ element in Feng Shui, which makes the house catch the light and good luck.

2. How do the gate measurement affect Feng Shui?

One thing any homeowner should concentrate is that the iron gate design must have the right size with the house. If the iron gate is too small, it will not bring enough good luck, and if the iron gate is too large, it will diminish the good luck. Thus, to keep the peace and harmony of the house, homeowners ought to consider the size of the house carefully.

The size of the gate is often measured by Luban ruler used in the construction industry. Every size on Luban ruler has a particular meaning according to Feng Shui and the ancients had common rules for iron gate styles as below:

Single iron gate:

The single gate was a popular kind in the past, and now the large single sliding gate of villas is preferred as well.

The best Feng Shui size for the single gate is:

Width 81cm (fluctuation between 80,5 and 81,8 cm)
Height 212 cm fluctuation between 210,8 and 214,2 cm)

As for single sliding gate, its size is usually much larger than the single gate above, and it can be as widen as the 4-wing gate which often uses the free size on the Luban ruler (size falls on segments which include 8 ones on the ruler).

Unbalanced 2-wing gates – one large wing, one small wing:

+ Width*height: 109cm*212 cm, the width of 2 wings is 69 cm and 40 cm respectively.

+ Or width*height: 126cm*212cm, the width of 2 wings is 81cm and 45cm respectively.

Do not build high walls. If the location of the gate is good, it is recommended to build a well-ventilated fence to get good luck, create harmony with nature, and balance for the house.
