Automatic Sliding Gates provide a unique, high-security solution under many circumstances and are quite common in larger commercial & industrial applications, for a variety of reasons as sliding gates can either be single-leaf or twin-leaf and they do not encroach into the driveway or yard area since they slide either side of the opening. Where there are rising driveways, sliding gates are ideal since they do not have to "rise up" the driveway and provided there is sufficient room for one or two leaves to slide in one or either direction beyond the opening.
