Why go sliding

A sliding leaf moves along the fence line instead of swinging into the drive, which helps when cars park close to the entrance or the driveway is short. You still need clear side space equal to the gate's width. The Profile 20 Contractor Line Sliding Gate Kit 12 x 6 ft uses spaced horizontal slats for partial privacy, airflow and visibility.

In the kit

• 20 ft perimeter frame, 4 in. HD; 12 ft secondary frame, 2x4 in.
• Inner corner brackets, inner connectors and channel kit
• Profile 20 slats, 2 x 3/4 in. x 8 ft
• Two 2-1/2 in. C wheels, a 2-1/8 in. C truck and a 6 in. guide roller
• Gate catcher and gate stopper
• Motor U bracket with 3-1/2 in. screws
• 3 in. x 8 ft HD post with pressed flat cap, plus a 3 in. aluminum cap
• Black #12 x 2 and #10 x 3/4 screws

Frame and finish

Architectural 6063-T6 extrusions keep weight down, while the perimeter and secondary frames carry the moving load. An exterior powder coat finishes it, with color options. The aluminum substrate is non-combustible; full code or Zone Zero compliance depends on the complete installation.

Planning

Before pouring concrete, confirm the opening, side runback, slope, post condition, track foundation and any operator plans. If you automate later, choose a compatible operator plus power, safety devices and emergency access for your site.
