Sliding Gates 
Sliding gates are commonly used when other gate installations are not possible. Situations such as limited space and uneven ground are couple of the most common reasons sliding gates would be the required choice. Sliding gates are not always the most popular choice of gate but at the same time are just as safe, reliable and even more secure than other styles of gate.
Sliding gates
are also used when larger metal and
more commercial gates are being installed but a automated or manual Sliding Gate is
still a good option for a residential driveway or entrance. Both
Courtyard and Ornamental Gates can both be installed using the sliding
gate method.
As mentioned above one of the biggest advantages of a Sliding Gate is if the
Driveway or entrance has an upwards slope behind the gate thus stopping a
swing gate from being installed. The reason for this is because the bottom of a swing gate in this
situation could scrape on the slope as the gate is in the process of
moving into an open position. 
Another common reason why a sliding gate is used as an option over a
swing gate is down to the amount of space behind the gate. A good
example would be if an electric gate is being installed to secure a
small courtyard where vehicles or property is stored and there is not
enough space for a swing gate to open as it could hit the contents
inside the courtyard then a Sliding Gate is the alternative gate to
install.
The opening width can be a maximum of 15m. We can supply the widest variety of sliding gates and barriers, from the purely functional to the proudly ornamental.
