Slide Gate Installation

A slide gate rolls along the fence line instead of swinging out, which makes it the workhorse for drives with room to run back and for commercial sites where a swing arc would block traffic. We size the track, rollers and operator to the gate's real weight, not a catalog default.

What drives the cost

Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.

Cantilever vs. track
Cantilever avoids a ground track but costs more in steel.

The track run needs to be level and well-drained.
Infill & finish
Ornamental, mesh or solid panel; galvanized or powder-coat.
Entry method

Slide Gate Installation FAQs

How much room does a slide gate need?

Generally the full span of the gate plus a little clearance to run back — we confirm exact clearance on the site walk.

What's the difference between cantilever and track-mounted?

Cantilever slide gates have no ground track to collect debris or ice; track-mounted costs less but needs a clear, maintained track.

Can a slide gate handle daily commercial traffic?

Yes, sized correctly. We spec the operator and rollers to the actual cycle count, not a residential default.
