Sliding Gate System

Most sliding gate systems only support flat gates. This is because of the way the gate must pass through the guiding rollers. Our unique Amazing Slider Guide makes it easy to pass any of our designs, including arched gates, through the rollers and anchor the gate upright.

Any of our driveway gate styles can be made into a Ground Track Slide Gate. Limit for single slide is 18 feet for most styles. Anything over 18 ft will require a dual sliding gate. For Cantilever Sliding Gate, see below. A sliding gate is charged as a regular driveway gate plus an upcharge for the back frame extension. Because sliding gates do not simply mount onto hinges on a post, other gate guiding equipment is necessary for the installation including a slider guide, v-track, v-wheels, guide rollers, and a catch post.

Not sure if you need a slider or swing?
We recommend using a swing gate whenever possible since they are easier to install and typically cost less. Sliding Gates, however, have advantages in certain situations and for some installations are the only solution. Please contact our product specialists for help with that decision.

Requires upcharge from driveway gate price to add the back frame. Prices vary per gate style and size.

Slider Guide and Operator Mounting Platform:
The hot dipped galvanized steel slider guide maintains the gate upright while allowing it to pass along the rollers. The base of the slider guide serves as a mounting platform for an automatic gate opener (eliminates the need to pour a concrete slab for the operator). Price: $499

Catch Post :
Recommended to prevent horizontal gate movement while closed. Gate rolls into 3.5" x 3.5" catchfork which bolts to 8 ft. catchpost. Works for right hand or left hand slide gates. Details...

Important Information:

Back frame extends 3 ft. beyond the gate size selected. You must therefore have clearance on the property for the additional extension.

The extension features non reach-through mesh. A separate non reach-through mesh is provided for tacking to the gate.

Currently ground track sliding gates are "Made-To-Order" products. This will require an upcharge from our regular driveway gate prices. Please call us for details.

Sliding gates are typically more expensive and more complicated to install than swing gates. Let us help you decide if you need a sliding gate or if a swing gate will work for your property.
