Sliding Gate Installation in Dallas, TX

Slide gates suit many Dallas properties: estate drives in Bluffview and Preston Hollow where a swing gate would need too much space, sloped lots where a swing leaf would hit the ground, and commercial and multi-family entrances where a gate cannot swing into traffic. The two key choices are track or cantilever, and the footing. Track gates need a stable, level beam to run on, and Dallas clay can heave or crack a slab. Cantilever gates ride on rollers beside the opening and need run-back space and a strong footing.

We measure the opening, run-back space and slope, then design footings for the clay so the track or roller posts stay level. We choose an operator rated for the gate weight and expected cycles, and on commercial sites, add loops and access control. ASTM F2200 guarding goes on rollers and at the gate end, and the operator is installed to UL 325 with photo-eyes and edges. Sliding gate installation in Dallas starts with confirming what the city and your HOA require.
