SLIDING GATES
We offer a huge range of sliding gate designs in a choice of different materials. Manual or electric. We also manufacture a range of sliding gate kits depending on material and set-up.
First, select your gate material from below.
The best sliding gate material depends on factors like durability, maintenance, aesthetics, and budget. Here’s a breakdown of your options:
1. Metal-Framed (with Infill Panels)
- Pros: Strong, long-lasting, can be combined with wood or composite for style
- Cons: More expensive than wood alone, may rust if not properly treated
- Best For: A mix of durability and aesthetics
2. Composite (Wood-Plastic Mix)
- Pros: Low maintenance, weather-resistant, does not warp or rot
- Cons: Can be expensive, may not look as natural as real wood
- Best For: A modern, low-maintenance option with a wood-like appearance
3. Metal
- Pros: Very durable, strong, secure, modern appearance
- Cons: Steel can rust if not correctly maintained.
- Best For: High-security and low-maintenance needs
4. Softwood (Pine)
- Pros: Cheaper than hardwood, easier to work with, natural look
- Cons: Requires frequent maintenance (staining, sealing), can warp
- Best For: Budget-friendly traditional aesthetics
5. Hardwood (Iroko)
- Pros: Premium look, strong, durable, weather-resistant
- Cons: Expensive, requires maintenance
- Best For: High-end, long-lasting wooden gates
Final Recommendation:
- For modern, durable, and low-maintenance: Composite or metal-framed with composite/metal infill
- For classic, natural aesthetics: Hardwood (if budget allows) or softwood (if on a budget)
- For security: Metal
