Description

This metal sliding driveway gate is finished in black with tightly spaced horizontal slats running the full width of the frame, gliding along a floor-mounted track fixed to the driveway surface. Supported by a robust box-section frame and guided by a wheel carriage at the base, it suits properties with rendered pillars or low garden walls where a side-opening swing gate isn’t practical.

Design of This Metal Sliding Driveway Gate

The panel is built from evenly spaced horizontal slats set within a heavy-duty vertical frame, giving the gate a linear, contemporary look while still allowing glimpses through to the driveway beyond.

Slatted Panel Construction

• Uniform horizontal slats spanning the full height of the gate
• Solid vertical end posts and mid-rail for added rigidity
• Smooth black powder-coated finish visible across the frame and slats

Sliding Track System

• Low-profile floor track set flush into the driveway surface
• Wheel carriage at the base for smooth side-to-side movement
• Compact motor and control unit housed near the leading pillar

Specifications of the Sliding Gate

This sliding driveway gate is fitted between two rendered pillars with stone coping, giving a clean, finished boundary line at the front of the property.

• Material: powder-coated metal frame and slats
• Finish: matte black
• Opening mechanism: side-sliding along a ground-level track
• Mounting: fixed to rendered brick pillars with coping caps

Why This Metal Sliding Driveway Gate Suits Narrow Driveways

Because it slides parallel to the boundary wall rather than swinging inward or outward, this metal sliding driveway gate is well suited to driveways where space is tight or where a swing gate would clash with parked cars or a footpath.

• No arc of movement needed in front of or behind the gate
• Slatted panel keeps the driveway visible while maintaining privacy
• Low track profile keeps the entrance flush and tidy underfoot

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sliding gate suitable for a narrow driveway?

Yes, because the gate slides sideways along a track rather than swinging on hinges, it works well on driveways where there isn’t room for a gate to open inward or outward.

What is the gate made from?

The gate is constructed from a metal frame and horizontal slats finished in black, as shown mounted between rendered pillars.

Can this gate be automated?

The design shown includes a track-mounted sliding mechanism with a motor unit positioned near the pillar, allowing the gate to be opened and closed automatically.
