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 Lucas Valley-Marinwood, where lucas valley is eichler-tract country — clean horizontal geometry, low-slope roofs, glass to the courtyard. marinwood mixes ranch, contemporary, and hillside custom builds.

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.

North Marin fog cycling and rolling clay along Big Rock Ridge demand finishes that shed daily dew and pier depths sized for the grade. Unincorporated Marin County permits; some Lucas Valley Eichler pockets have additional design conditions — we handle both. We build regularly in Lucas Valley (the Eichler tract), Marinwood, Mont Marin, and Upper Lucas Valley.
