All Sliding Gates

Why Choose a Sliding Gate?

• Enhanced Security: Sliding gates act as a deterrent to intruders and offer extra protection against prying eyes. Our hardwood Village design sliding gate offers a tough, tall barrier around your property with no gaps or windows in the wood to ensure full privacy.
• Additional Space: Unlike swing gates, which require a large amount of space to be fully opened and closed, sliding gates move parallel to the fence or wall, saving valuable space that can be utilised in driveways and gardens.
• Convenience: Automated sliding gates can be easily operated using remote controls, keypads, or smartphone applications, eliminating the need to leave your property or car to open the gate. This makes for a great solution in harsh weather.
• Aesthetic Appeal: High-quality sliding gates with modern or eye-catching designs can not only add curb appeal to your property but can bring an extra lease of life into the exterior. Gates like our Chesire wooden slide gate come in beautiful Scandinavian hardwood as standard but also have the option of 5 stunning wood treatment colours so you can customise your gate to complement the already existing features of your garden.
• Durability: Made from only the finest grade timber, our sliding gates are made from sustainably sourced wood that is designed to last and withstand wind, rain and everything the great outdoors brings. Our hardwood Chesire sliding gate is crafted from premium Iroko hardwood and is famous for its longevity, meaning your gate will stay beautiful whilst securing your property for years.

What Are the Different Types of Sliding Gates? 

• Manual Sliding Gates: These gates are operated by hand and are great for smaller properties or areas where there isn’t access to electricity. They are an ideal option for a more affordable sliding door and require less maintenance compared to automated gates.
• Automatic Sliding Gates: Automatic sliding gates provide increased security and convenience and are powered by an electric motor. With the ability to be controlled via smartphone apps, keypad entry, or remote control, they are perfect for larger homes and high-traffic areas.
• Track Sliding Gates: These gates slide along a fixed track embedded in the ground, providing smooth opening and closing. Track sliding is only suitable however for level or flat ground.
• Cantilever Sliding Gates: If your property is on a slope this type of sliding gate is a brilliant solution. These gates are supported by rollers that are mounted onto a concrete foundation, meaning you can experience the benefits of sliding gates for driveways without ground tracks. 

How Do You Keep a Sliding Gate in Top Condition?

• Safety and Security: To ensure your gate remains secure and in top condition, utilise gate ironmongery. When installing double sliding gates use galvanised steel hinges, bolts and locks to ensure your gate stays firmly fixed in place without falling or swinging around. 

• Weather Protection: Wooden gates should be treated with a wood preservative to ensure a finish that’s resistant to weather and the elements. Any metal hinges may also need coating to prevent rust or corrosion.
• Maintenance: Make sure you regularly check your sliding gate, ensuring runners and sliding mechanisms are working properly, lubricate moving parts and check motors if you’ve got an automated gate system. Check out our guide for more on how to look after your gate.
• Professional Installation: Although you can install our gates yourself, the best way to ensure your gate lasts longer is by ensuring perfect installation from the start. A professional fitter will be able to install your gate correctly and ensure there are no issues with improper installation that can affect the longevity of your gate.
