Sliding gates, cantilever gates and custom gate structures
In our own metalworking shop, we fabricate custom-sized steel and aluminium gate structures for family houses, multi-unit buildings, industrial facilities and other properties.
We tailor the design to the space available, the size of the opening, how the gate will be used, and the appearance of the fence.
A sliding gate is an especially good solution where there isn’t enough space in the yard for a gate leaf to swing open, but there is room along the fence line for the gate to slide sideways.
The gate structure can be made in a custom size and design, prepared for either manual or automated operation.
Cantilever Gates
With a self-supporting, so-called cantilever gate, the gate doesn’t run on a ground track set into the opening — it is guided instead by its own support structure.
This can be especially advantageous for heavier vehicle traffic, on industrial sites, or wherever a track set into the gate opening is undesirable.
For it to work properly, a rigid structure sized to the gate and a correctly built foundation matter especially.
Pedestrian Gates and Accessory Structures
We also fabricate pedestrian gates and other fence elements matching the vehicle gate, so the whole street-facing fence can be built with one coordinated design.
The gates can be made from steel or aluminium, with various profiles, in a louvred, bar, or custom-clad design.
