Solving a Challenging Site Issue

For this automatic gate project, site contours posed a challenge to design and build a structure that would meet security needs.

The slope of the driveway and steep access made it nearly impossible to deliver an orthodox gate at this address. That required our staff to get creative with their design and on-site work.

The solution is a cantilevered sliding gate connected to the existing retaining wall after adding the necessary bracing and steel work. The steepness of the site is indicated by the fact that when open, the gate stands 2.5m off the ground. A further unusual aspect of this residential gate project is the placement of the gate outside the fence due to a large garden shed on the inside.

An automatic vehicle gate that perfectly befits the location and is totally functional. The home owner is thrilled with the result and wanted us to showcase it.
