SLIDING GATES

How to Measure

Measuring for your new gate is actually a very simple process.

Take three horizontal measurements between existing posts/ pillars – top, middle and bottom.

Take the largest of the three widths and order this size.

We add the additional section of the gate on top of this to allow for the cantilever (usually 800mm).

Estimated Delivery Time: Monday 17th February to Friday 21st February.

FREE (mainland) delivery on orders over £750 (excludes Scotland). Orders under this amount are subject to a delivery charge depending on product. See "here" for more.

SLIDING GATES

How to Measure

Measuring for your new sliding gate is actually a very simple process.

   Simply take a measurement of your opening.

How-to-measure-sliding gate

Please note:

** If you are replacing the posts, take a measurement of the whole opening width and reduce size by the width of the posts. For example: Opening width of 3m 460mm minus 2x posts (at 100mm wide each) = 3m 260mm.

For a sliding gate to work, an overhang of 800mm is required. This is to hold the gate upright whilst opening/ closing.

So, your sliding gate width will be “opening width” + 800mm.

For example, if opening width = 3m 420mm (+ 800mm overhang) then the width is 4m 220mm.

If ordering online and exact measurement not offered. Reduce to closest size. Want it exact? No problem, call our team to order – 0800 6124 965.

Included with the Sliding Gate

  • Powder coated frame. Available in black, anthracite grey or white (any RAL colour available at additional cost). We recommend selecting “Longlife” finish for enhanced protection.

Available Sizes:

  • Width: from 6ft to a massive 20ft
  • Height: from 4ft to 7ft – taken to the highest point of the gate.
  • Made to Measure – all gates online can be purchased to the nearest inch, if you do require a more precise size, please contact us. (Unlike others – there is NO additional cost for bespoke, we simply base price on the next size!).

Please note: Composite sliding gates will arrive in 3 sections that simply bolt together on site. Pre drilled holes.

If selecting wheels, 4 wheels are fitted. The sliding gate will also function normally with just 2 fitted. If the gate is snagging on the track, remove a wheel from each section.
