A sliding gate rolls parallel to the fence line — cantilever (no ground track, our default) or V-track (with a floor rail). It's the answer when a swing leaf would foul a retaining wall, a mature oak, or a steep approach — common in Granite Bay, where granite bay estates run to multi-acre parcels off auburn-folsom, eureka, and douglas — long, formal entry drives where the gate carries the first read of the property.

Frames are always steel — the cantilever roller box demands the rigidity — with Sapele mahogany over redwood or white oak as the visible face. Automation is UL325 spec with loop detectors and sensing edges.

Sustained foothill heat and open exposure drive UV-stable finish specs and wind-load engineering, especially on solid-panel automated gates. Los Lagos, Wexford, and Treelake require design review; we prepare and shepherd the submittal packet through. We build regularly in Los Lagos, Granite Bay Hills, Treelake, Wexford, and the Eureka Road corridor.
