Sliding gates in Kyle and Buda
A sliding gate opens along the fence line, so it needs no room to swing. That makes it the right gate for short driveways, sloped entrances and wide openings. We build sliding gates on a steel frame, faced with cedar or wood, to match your fence.
When a sliding gate beats a swing gate
- The driveway is short and a swing gate would hit the car
- The ground slopes up behind the opening
- The opening is wide, for trucks, trailers or equipment
- You want the gate to line up with a privacy fence
Steel frame, cedar face
The frame is steel, which keeps a long gate straight. On top goes the face you choose: cedar boards to match a cedar fence, wood, or a design with stone pillars at the sides like the ones in the photos on this page.
A sliding gate needs straight space beside the opening to roll into. We check that space at the estimate.
Sliding gates on sloped driveways
A swing gate on a driveway that rises behind it hits the ground before it opens all the way. A sliding gate moves along the fence line instead, so the slope of the driveway matters less. What it needs is a fairly level strip beside the opening for the gate to travel.
On wide openings for trucks, trailers or equipment, a sliding gate also avoids two heavy swing leaves catching the wind.
