Swing or Slide? Your Driveway Decides, Not Your Taste

People arrive at this decision with a preference. The ground usually overrules it, and finding that out before fabrication saves a great deal of money.

Driveway Gate Swing Or Slide

The clearance problem

A swing gate opening inward up a rising driveway will catch the ground before it is fully open. This is the single most common design mistake we are called out to fix.

It has to be measured at full open on the actual slope, not assumed from a photograph.

When swing is right

Flat or gently falling driveways with room behind the gate. Swing gates cost less, look right on most properties and there is nothing on the ground to fill with grit.

Double leaves handle wider openings without needing anywhere to slide to.

When slide is the answer

Rising driveways, tight properties where a car parks close behind the gate, and openings too wide for swing leaves.

A slider needs somewhere to go, roughly the width of the opening again along the fence line. If that space does not exist, it is not an option.

Cantilever, and why it costs more

A cantilever slider carries on rollers set back along the fence with no ground track at all. Nothing to clog, nothing to break out of the driveway.

It needs more run-back room and more structure, which is why it is the most expensive of the three. On a debris-prone or sloped entrance it is often the only sensible choice.

Decide before you fabricate

Swing and slide gates are built differently, hang differently and use different operators. Changing your mind after fabrication means starting again.

We survey the entrance, measure the slope and tell you which of the three the ground allows before anything is built.
