When a sliding gate makes sense

A sliding gate runs across the opening instead of swinging into it, so it works where there’s no room for a gate to swing. That makes it a good fit for short driveways, tight sites and driveways that slope. Jules’s sliding gates roll on a low-profile track with recessed wheels.

Built to be automated

A gate that will be automated needs to be built for it: square, rigid and running smoothly, so the opener isn’t fighting the gate. Aluminium is light, which is easier on the motor and helps it last. The opener is fitted by an experienced gate-automation electrician Jules works with. See gate automation.

Choose the look

Sliding gates can have round uprights, horizontal or vertical slats, louvres or a laser-cut panel. Jules has even built a curved-top sliding gate made to look like a pair of swing gates. Every gate is powder coated in the colour you choose.

What to send for a quote

Send a few photos of the driveway from the street, the rough width of the opening and the clear run beside it for the gate to slide back into. In the Horowhenua, Jules can come out and measure up for free.

See what makes a good photo

Stand back far enough to see both sides of the opening and the ground in between. Take one straight on and one from each side. A tape measure across the opening is a bonus.

FAQ

Common questions

See all questions

Should I choose a sliding gate or a swing gate?

Sliding gates suit short or sloping driveways and places where there is no room for a gate to swing open. Swing gates suit wider, flatter driveways and rural entrances. Jules will talk you through what works best for your site.

Can you build a gate for a sloping driveway?

Yes. Sliding gates can be built to suit sloping driveways. Tell Jules about your driveway when you get in touch.

Can my gate be automated?

Yes. Jules builds sliding and swing gates ready for automation and works with an experienced gate-automation electrician who fits the opener. He will pass on your details and liaise for you.

How long does a custom gate take?

On average about 3 to 4 weeks from the 50% deposit to installation. It can be as short as 2 weeks, or a little longer, depending on materials, workload, powder coating and the weather. Jules will give you a timeframe with your quote.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. There's a 5-year warranty on workmanship. Materials aren't covered.
