Description
This metal sliding driveway gate is built around a horizontal slat design finished in a smooth grey powder coated coating, giving it a clean, contemporary look that suits a wide range of driveways. Fitted with an automated cantilever sliding mechanism and ground-mounted track, it opens smoothly to one side without swinging into the driveway space, making it a practical choice for properties with limited turning room.

The gate panel is made up of evenly spaced horizontal metal slats, framed within a robust box-section perimeter for a strong, structured appearance.

Why This Sliding Driveway Gate Suits Modern Homes
The horizontal slat pattern and understated grey powder coated finish work well against brick, render or stone frontages, and the sliding action keeps the driveway clear of any swing arc. The visible motor and track components show the gate is set up for automated, hands-free operation rather than manual opening.
- Space-saving side-sliding action, ideal for sloped or narrow entrances
- Heavy metal build gives the gate a substantial, secure presence
- Powder coated surface offers a consistent, even colour finish
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this metal sliding driveway gate automated as standard?
Yes, the photo shows a ground-mounted motor and track system along with a sensor unit, indicating an automated cantilever sliding setup.
What finish does this sliding gate come in?
The gate is shown with a grey powder coated finish applied evenly across the slats, frame and support posts.
Does a sliding driveway gate need much space to operate?
A sliding gate like this one runs along a ground track to one side rather than swinging outward, so it suits driveways where a hinged gate’s swing arc would be impractical.
