SLIDING DRIVEWAY GATES

Sliding Driveway Gate Installation in Houston, TX

Custom slide gates for wide or sloped driveways — fabricated in-house, installed with the right operator.

A sliding driveway gate is the answer when a swing gate won’t work — a short driveway, an upward slope, or a wide entrance. We design, fabricate, and install custom sliding driveway gates across Houston in wrought iron, wood, and steel, then pair each one with a matched slide operator. One all-inclusive price covers the gate, the opener, labor, and tax. See our full range of custom driveway gates including swing and specialty styles.

GATE STYLES

Sliding Gate Styles We Build

Cantilever slide gates

Roll on posts beside the opening with no ground track; best where flooding or debris would clog a track.

V-track (roller) slide gates

Ride a wheel in a track set into the driveway; cost-effective for level openings.

Telescoping slide gates

Multi-panel gates that cover wide openings where there isn’t room for a single sliding panel.

Wrought iron slide gates

Strong, field-repairable, finished with Sher-Kem.

Wood slide gates

Privacy and warmth on a welded steel frame.

Commercial slide gates

Heavy-duty gates for business and standard-commercial entrances.

WHICH SLIDE GATE

Cantilever vs. V-Track — Which Slide Gate Fits

V-track (roller) gates roll on a wheel in a track set into the driveway. Lower cost, but the track collects dirt, gravel, and water and needs to be kept clear to roll smoothly.

Cantilever gates hang from rollers on posts beside the opening and float above the ground — nothing to clog, freeze, or flood. They cost more and need room alongside the driveway for the counterbalance, but they’re the low-maintenance choice for Houston yards that flood or collect debris.

We help you choose the right design for your opening and pair it with a matched operator.

MATERIALS

Materials & Finishes

We build sliding driveway gates in wrought iron, wood, and steel — not aluminum. Aluminum gates bend and slam in Houston’s high winds and are hard to weld or repair; iron is stronger and field-repairable. Every gate is primed and finished with Sher-Kem, a Sherwin-Williams direct-to-metal industrial enamel built for adhesion and corrosion resistance — not powder coat.

Every sliding driveway gate we install is paired with a matched slide operator (LiftMaster, Viking, or Linear), photo-eye safety sensors installed to code, and keypad/remote/smartphone-app entry — all in one all-inclusive installed price covering gate, opener, labor, and tax.

What Our Customers Say

After researching several options in the Houston area, I chose Automatic Gate Co for my driveway gate installation. I appreciate that they didn’t try to push the most expensive option on me but instead helped me find something that fit my needs AND my budget. The gate looks fantastic and the opener works like a charm. Carlos was especially helpful throughout the process. One small issue with the remote was fixed immediately. Highly recommend!

Lili scheduled our Driveway Gate install around my work travel so I could actually be there. The crew showed up when they said they would and wrapped it up in a day. Gate looks clean and the opener connects to my phone without any fuss. Just worked out how it should.
Trinah Baker

My neighbor had referred them after they installed a Driveway Gate with a cedar overlay. I went with something similar, but tweaked the layout and finish. They made it super easy to customize without overwhelming me with options. Even down to the keypad location they asked how I pull in, what side I open my car door on, and installed it where it actually made sense. Small things like that add up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a sliding driveway gate over a swing gate?

Slide gates are ideal for short driveways, upward slopes, or wide openings where a swing gate has no room to open. They also suit high-traffic commercial entrances.

What’s the difference between a cantilever and a V-track slide gate?

A V-track gate rolls on a wheel in a track in the driveway (lower cost, needs the track kept clear); a cantilever gate hangs from posts and floats above the ground with nothing to clog — better where flooding or debris is a concern.

What materials do you build sliding gates from?

Wrought iron, wood, and steel — not aluminum. Every gate is primed and finished with Sherwin-Williams Sher-Kem industrial enamel, not powder coat.

Does the price include the gate opener?

Yes. We quote one all-inclusive price covering the gate, the matched slide operator, labor, and tax.

How wide a driveway can a sliding gate cover?

From single residential driveways to wide commercial entrances; for very wide openings with limited side room we build telescoping (multi-panel) slide gates.

Do you build commercial sliding gates?

Yes. We build heavy-duty residential and standard-commercial slide gates; very large industrial spans are handled by our sister company, Advanced Fences.
