Mahogany cantilever sliding driveway gate — Lafayette, CA

Sliding Driveway Gates in Lafayette, CA

sliding gate · Lafayette

Cantilever or V-track — chosen by site, not by catalog.

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 Lafayette, where lafayette properties tend toward narrow, wooded, and often shared drives — where a poorly proportioned gate becomes a daily inconvenience.

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.

Steep grades, seasonal creeks, and dense oak canopy shape every install. We bench and drain before we set a post. We build regularly in Happy Valley, Burton Valley, Trail's End, Reliez Valley, and Springhill.

"Our driveway is steep and narrow. Jon's team came out three times to measure and rendered two options. The bi-parting Sapele gate they built clears the slope perfectly."

Frequently asked

Sliding Driveway Gates in Lafayette — answered.

01How much does a sliding gate cost in Lafayette?
Lafayette sliding gate projects generally run $22,000–$70,000. Every quote is fixed-price after design approval and site survey. Estate-grade builds with premium hardware and custom ironwork can exceed the top of this range.
02How long does a sliding gate take in Lafayette?
Lead times average 4 to 8 weeks from approved design. Contact us for an exact timeline for your project. The process includes on-site consultation, rendered design and finish approval, workshop build in Concord, then a two-to-four-day install.
03What materials do you build in?
Sapele mahogany, white oak, ipe, and hot-rolled or blackened steel — often in combination. See our comparison of Sapele versus redwood and our note on mortise-and-tenon joinery. Finishes are marine-grade penetrating oils; hardware is marine bronze, stainless, or steel.
04Cantilever or V-track — what's the difference?
Cantilever slides on a counterweighted roller box with no ground track — cleaner install, no leaves-in-the-track maintenance, our default. V-track uses a floor rail and small wheels — less counterweight required, but the rail must stay clear. Sloped drives usually run cantilever.
