Custom Horizontal Slat Aluminum Sliding Gate

Custom Horizontal Slat Aluminum Sliding Gate

This custom horizontal slat aluminum sliding gate is the privacy-focused driveway-gate entry in the current Eone catalog. Its product image shows a wide residential opening filled with closely spaced horizontal slats and a matching fence line. The page is for made-to-order gate-leaf and project review; an automation operator, track system, posts, controls, and safety devices are included only when they are itemized in the accepted quotation.

Current Slat and Material References

The profile sizes and stock lengths are source-material references, not finished gate dimensions. Final wall thickness, alloy, temper, frame sections, reinforcement, weld or mechanical assembly, coating system, and tolerances must appear on the approved shop drawing.

Start With the Clear Opening and Run-Back Space

Measure the clear vehicle opening, finished driveway levels, available gate run-back, post locations, wall returns, drainage, and any slope or crossfall. A tracked sliding gate normally needs room beside the opening for the full leaf and associated hardware; a cantilever design has different counterbalance and foundation requirements. Identify whether the opening is residential, multifamily, commercial, or industrial so the frame, duty cycle, and safety review match the real site.

Set Privacy, Airflow, and Wind Criteria

Horizontal slat width and spacing control privacy, ventilation, weight, and wind pressure. A tightly screened gate can impose much larger forces than an open picket gate. State the desired sight-line control and gap, then have the responsible designer check gate size, frame stiffness, posts, foundations, rollers, track or cantilever hardware, and operator capacity. Do not select an opener from width alone; leaf weight, wind, travel, acceleration, frequency, and emergency release all matter.

Define the Hardware and Automation Boundary

List the required wheels or carriages, bottom track, guide rollers, catcher, stopper, posts, brackets, rack, motor, control board, remotes, keypad, intercom, loops, photocells, safety edges, warning devices, and manual release. Mark each item as gate-fabricator supply, automation-contractor supply, or site supply. This prevents a gate leaf from arriving without the interfaces needed for commissioning and avoids implying that the word sliding automatically includes a complete powered system.

Finish, Packing, and Receiving

Provide a powder-coat color, gloss, pretreatment, exposure class, and approved sample. Protect long coated members, corners, slats, and visible faces with suitable separators and export packing. For modular or knocked-down delivery, label every frame, slat group, hardware pack, and drawing reference. On receipt, check overall dimensions, straightness, finish, component count, labels, and transport damage before installation begins.

Horizontal Slat Gate RFQ

Send the opening width and height, run-back space, site photographs, driveway levels, preferred slat profile and gap, frame material, finish, operating method, hardware scope, automation and safety requirements, project location, quantity, packing limits, and delivery date. Eone Industry can review the configuration, prepare a shop-drawing and sample route, coordinate fabrication, and quote consolidated door-to-door freight. Final dimensions and inclusions follow the signed drawing and quotation.
