Sliding gate
A 5.2 m opening with horizontal louvre infill; the ducting for automation and intercom went in before the driveway was concreted.
Sliding and swing gates, pedestrian gates and garage doors — with the motor duct and power supply already laid in.
A gate is the heaviest moving thing on a property, and bad work shows fastest: the frame twists, the leaf jumps the roller, the motor strains. So we weld the frame from box section with stiffeners, and set the track and foundation before the driveway is concreted.
Sliding and swing gates, pedestrian gates and garage doors. We lay in the motor duct, anchors and power supply, so the automation can go in straight away or later.
For a level approach and openings up to 6 m. It needs a foundation and a track, but takes no space in front of the entrance.
For narrow approaches and slopes where a sliding gate will not fit. Concealed hinges and stops so the leaf does not drop.
Made as a pair with the main gate, in the same infill. Provision for an intercom and electric lock goes in at the same time.

By the sea it is the protection that decides, not the thickness of the steel. Before we quote, we ask where the structure will stand and how far it is from the water.
The strongest and cheapest option, but only with galvanising and powder coating. Left unprotected on the coast it rusts within a single season.
For handrails and railings by the sea. AISI 316 where there is salt and spray, 304 for interiors and the inland areas.
Light and it does not rust, so we choose it for balcony railings on tall buildings and wherever nobody will be maintaining the structure.
Immersion in molten zinc protects the inside of the profile as well. Powder coating in your RAL colour goes on top.
