Sliding Driveway Gates in Orinda.

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 Orinda, where orinda is hillside country — driveways climb, curve, and cross drainage. site rules the design.

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.

Berkeley Hills fog cycles and steep decomposed-granite lots demand drainage-first footings and finishes that handle daily dew without cupping. We build regularly in Orinda Downs, Sleepy Hollow, Glorietta, the Orinda Country Club area, and Ivy Drive.
