Description

This metal sliding driveway gate is shown in a black powder-coated finish, fitted with vertical bar infill and running along a floor-mounted track between two brick piers. It’s an ideal solution for wider driveway openings where a swinging gate isn’t practical, offering a clean, secure sweep across the entrance.

Design and Visible Features

The gate frame is built from box-section steel uprights with evenly spaced vertical bars, giving good visibility through to the driveway and road beyond while still forming a solid physical barrier.

Automation and Track

  • Ground-level sliding track guiding the gate’s full opening motion
  • Boxed automation unit and motor housing positioned at the base of the leading pier
  • Guide rollers visible along the top rail for smooth, controlled travel

Frame and Finish

  • Solid black-coated box-section perimeter frame
  • Slim vertical infill bars spaced along the full length of the gate
  • Brick pier mounting points either side of the driveway entrance

Why Choose This Sliding Gate Style

A metal sliding driveway gate like this suits properties where space behind the gate line needs to stay clear, since the leaf slides parallel to the boundary rather than swinging inward or outward. The open bar design also keeps the entrance feeling light and doesn’t block views of approaching traffic or visitors.

Specifications

Built around a robust steel frame, this gate is finished for outdoor use with a black coated surface across the bars and frame.

  • Material: powder-coated steel box-section frame with vertical bar infill
  • Finish: black
  • Operation: motorised sliding mechanism with track-mounted rollers

  • Style: open vertical bar design suitable for driveway and alleyway entrances

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sliding gate suitable for automation?

Yes, the gate in the photo is already fitted with a motor unit and track system, so it operates automatically rather than needing to be pushed by hand.

Can this gate be fitted between brick piers?

Yes, the design shown is mounted directly to brick piers on either side of the opening, using a floor track to guide the sliding leaf.

Does the vertical bar design affect privacy?

The open bar spacing allows visibility through the gate, so it’s better suited to properties prioritising sightlines and security over full privacy screening.
