Gates

Sliding & Cantilever Gates

When there's no room to swing, slide it.

Short driveway? Steep pitch off the street? Cars parked bumper to bumper? A slide gate solves what a swing gate can't. We install both V-track roller gates and cantilever gates that hang off the post with no track on the ground to fill up with leaves and grit.

Cantilever is usually the better call in North Texas. No ground track means nothing to clog with mud after a storm and nothing to seize when the clay heaves.

Cantilever vs. rolling

Cantilever needs backrun space beside the opening but stays clean and quiet for years. V-track is cheaper up front and fine on flat concrete you keep swept. We'll walk the site and tell you which one your property actually supports.

Posts do the work

On a cantilever gate, the posts carry everything. We set oversized steel posts in deep concrete footings — the single biggest reason slide gates outlive their warranty or don't.

Commercial duty cycles

A gate cycling forty times a day needs a different operator, different rollers, and different maintenance than a home gate. We spec for the traffic you actually have.

Straight answers

How much side room does a cantilever gate need?
Plan on roughly 1.5× the opening width for backrun. We measure and confirm before we quote.
Do slide gates work on a slope?
Yes — that's one of their advantages. Slide gates handle grades that would bind a swing gate solid.
Are they loud?
Not when they're built right. Proper rollers and a soft-start operator make them quieter than most swing setups.
