Sliding Gate Installation in Colleyville: what we see

Swing gates suit many Colleyville drives, but a slide gate earns its place where the drive slopes up from the road, where a leaf would swing into parked cars, or where the opening is very wide. It needs clear space alongside the opening to travel into, and on a large lot that space usually exists. The challenge is clay: a track or cantilever support has to stay level while the ground moves.

We confirm what the city and your HOA require, then choose between a ground track and a cantilever design based on the drive surface and slope. Footings for posts and supports are sized for clay movement. The operator is matched to gate weight, and we fit photo eyes, edges and guards to UL 325, with the gate built to ASTM F2200. That applies equally off SH 26 Colleyville Blvd or in Whittier Heights.

Sliding Gate Installation in Colleyville: questions

Should I choose a cantilever or a track slide gate in Colleyville?

A cantilever gate rides on rollers mounted on posts and never touches the ground across the opening, so it is less affected by a track lifting or settling in clay. It needs extra length behind the opening. A track gate is simpler but needs a level, stable rail. We look at your drive and space and recommend one.

How much room does a sliding gate need beside the drive?

At least the width of the opening, plus extra for the counterbalance section of a cantilever gate. That space has to be clear of trees, walls and slopes. We measure on site and show you where the gate will travel and where the operator will sit before anything is ordered.
