A sliding gate rolls parallel to the fence line — cantilever (no ground track) or V-track (with a ground rail) — and is the right answer when swing clearance is limited or the driveway approach is steep. On Moraga projects, Moraga homes in Rheem Valley, Campolindo, and Sanders Ranch typically sit on sloped, oak-shaded lots where the driveway rolls with the grade — proper post benching matters more than gate size.

Rolling clay soils along Bollinger Canyon and Moraga Way heave meaningfully in the wet season; we spec pier depth and reinforcement to match. That's why every Moraga sliding gate we build begins with a site survey — we measure the opening, check soil and slope, identify utility lines, and confirm swing or slide clearance before a single drawing is issued.

Sliding gates are always steel-framed — the cantilever roller box or V-track wheels demand a rigid frame — with Sapele or white oak infill on the visible face. Aluminum frames are an option for coastal sites.

Sloped Moraga driveways make sliding cantilever or bi-parting swing the two configurations we recommend most for automation. We work throughout Rheem Valley, Campolindo, Sanders Ranch, the Moraga Country Club area, and Miramonte. We ship from our Concord workshop, ~15 miles from Moraga, and installation on a sliding driveway gate typically takes two to four days on site.
