The Right Solution for Sloped or Tight Driveways

When a swing gate won’t work — because the driveway slopes, the road is too close, or there’s not enough clearance behind the gate — a slide gate is the answer. It rolls parallel to the fence line instead of swinging, which means it works regardless of what’s behind it.

We install both V-track and cantilever slide gates. Cantilever systems are preferred for driveways with gravel or uneven surfaces since the gate doesn’t ride on a bottom track, which means less maintenance and smoother operation over time.

Slide gates work at any width. Wider openings require heavier gate panels and motors — we size everything correctly during the site visit so you get a system built for your specific load and usage.

Slide Gate Options

Cantilever or V-Track — We’ll Recommend the Right One

The right type of slide gate depends on your surface, usage, and budget. Here’s what we install.

V-Track Slide Gates

A bottom-mounted track guides the gate along its travel path. Cost-effective solution for paved driveways with a clean, flat surface.

Cantilever Slide Gates

No bottom track — the gate is suspended and counterbalanced. Ideal for gravel, dirt, or uneven surfaces where a track would clog or shift.

Slide Gate Operators

Heavy-duty sliding gate operators sized for your gate’s weight and daily cycle count. We include safety edge sensors, manual release, and remote access.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does a slide gate need on the side?
The gate needs a run space equal to the gate width, plus about 2 feet for the motor and post. So a 12-foot slide gate needs roughly 14 feet of fence run to one side.
Are slide gates good for steep driveways?
Yes — slide gates are often the best choice for sloped driveways because they don’t need to swing against gravity. They simply roll sideways, unaffected by slope.
Can I get a slide gate for a wide opening?
Absolutely. Slide gates can span very wide openings — 20 feet, 30 feet, or more. Wider gates require heavier-duty track and motor systems, which we’ll specify in the quote.
What’s the difference between cantilever and V-track in practice?
V-track is simpler and slightly more affordable. Cantilever costs a bit more upfront but requires less maintenance and handles rough surfaces much better. For most LA properties, cantilever is the better long-term investment.
How do slide gates handle during power outages?
All automated slide gates we install include a manual release mechanism. Battery backup systems are also available if you need the gate to operate automatically during outages.
