Slides, never swings

The gate travels alongside the fence line instead of swinging through the driveway, so cars can park close to the opening. Plan side runback for the full width of the gate.

Every part, one system

Frame, wheels, track, guide roller, catcher and stopper are matched in one kit, so you're not sourcing sliding hardware separately.

Why gate frames matter: framed vs no-frame gates

Why contractors are switching to 7-stage powder coated aluminum

How it works

Six steps that determine how the gate will move.

Prepare the installation areaConfirm the opening, side runback, finished grade, drainage, utilities, and a suitable foundation. Secure the support and guide posts for the actual loads and site.
Assemble the gate frameUse the supplied inner corner brackets and connectors to build the frame square, level, and to the approved dimensions.
Install the sliding mechanismSet the channel or track straight and level. Attach the wheels and upper guide roller so the leaf travels without binding or excessive movement.
Set the stopper and catcherPosition the stopper and catcher to control travel, support the closed gate, and protect the hardware from overrun.
Plan the optional motorThe gate is sold without a motor. Choose a compatible operator, power, controls, safety devices and emergency access for your site.
Make final adjustmentsTighten fasteners, verify clearances, clean the track, check the guide and stopping points, and test the complete travel repeatedly before regular use.

"I couldn't be happier with the fence. From the moment it went up, it completely transformed my backyard. The sleek design without visible posts gives it such a modern, high-end look. It's like having a piece of art around my home. I also love that it's fire-resistant, which gives me peace of mind living in this area. Definitely worth every penny!"
