Sliding Gate Installation in Plano, TX

A track slide gate is the common choice on Plano homes, and its reliability depends on the concrete under the track. On Plano clay that slab needs to be thick enough and reinforced so it does not crack or tilt as the ground moves. Where a property has a lot of leaves, mulch or runoff across the opening, a cantilever gate avoids the ground track altogether, at the cost of needing more space along the fence.

For the operator, we size by gate weight and how often it runs. A residential slide gate in West Plano might cycle a dozen times a day, while a community or commercial gate can run hundreds of times, which calls for a heavier, high-cycle operator. We also mount the operator pad so the chain runs level and the gate cannot be lifted off its track.
