Sliding gates - automated gates for your home

Sliding gates are commonly used when other gate installations are not possible. Situations such as limited space and uneven ground are a couple of the most common reasons sliding gates would be the required choice. Sliding gates are not always the most popular choice of gate but at the same time are just as safe, reliable and even more secure than other styles of gate. One of the biggest advantages of a sliding gate is if the driveway or entrance has an upwards slope behind the gate thus stopping a swing gate from being installed. The reason for this is because the bottom of a swing gate in this situation could scrape on the slope as the gate is in the process of moving into an open position.

Sliding gates are also used when larger metal and more commercial gates are being installed but an automated or manual Sliding Gate is still a good option for a residential driveway or entrance. Both Courtyard and Ornamental Gates can both be installed using the sliding gate method.

Did you know Chapel Doors supplies and installs automatic gates for small spaces?

Another common reason why a sliding gate is used as an option over a swing gate is down to the amount of space behind the gate. A good example would be if an electric gate is being installed to secure a small courtyard where vehicles or property is stored and there is not enough space for a swing gate to open as it could hit the contents inside the courtyard then a Sliding Gate is the alternative gate to install.

Sliding gates can come in a variety of sizes, finishes and materials, from the purely functional to the proudly ornamental.
