    How to Measure: Simply take the width between the opening posts/ pillars. It's important to remember for a sliding gate to work, one side must have a clearance of "opening width + required overhang". For example. If your opening is 3m you would need a clearance of "opening" (3m) + "overhang" (800mm) = 3m 800mm.

    *HEIGHT

    Taken to the highest point of the gate.

    SELECT FINIAL

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.

Benefits of Composite

Eco icon

Sustainability

Composite gates are made from recycled materials such as recycled wood fibers and plastic. This helps reduce the demand for virgin materials and minimizes the environmental impact associated with resource extraction.

Eco-friendly

By utilizing recycled materials in the production of composite gates, the overall environmental impact is reduced. Additionally, the durability and longevity of these gates mean fewer replacements, further lowering the environmental footprint.

Low Maintenance

Eco-friendly composite gates require less maintenance than traditional gates. They don’t need to be stained or painted regularly, and they are resistant to pests and weathering. This can save time and money over the long term.

Durability

Composite materials are known for their durability and resistance to elements such as moisture, UV rays, and insects. This makes composite gates less prone to rotting, warping, and decay compared to traditional wood gates.
