Features

Materials

• The Athena Sliding Gate is constructed of 16 gauge steel for maximum durability, powder coated with a heavy duty baked on TIGER Drylac Jet Black finish for a wrought iron look. The maximum in strength and corrosion protection available. 

Colors

• Jet Black is our standard color.

Single or Bi-Parting Gates

• A single slide gate may be used for gap openings up to 18 ft wide. Gates longer than 18 feet must be bi-parting (requires two slider guides and two openers). For single leaf sliding gates, a Catch Post is recommended to add stability.

Slide Gate Features:

Heavy Duty Rollers: The Amazing Slider Guide

• The heavy-duty roller fits between the gate and the guideposts.

V-Track 

• The galvanized 'V' Track can either be anchor-bolted to an existing driveway or set in concrete while pouring a new grade beam. The gate rolls open and closed on this track so it must be twice as long as the gap opening the gate is securing.

Frame Extension

• The Slider Frame Extension is what allows the Slider Guide to hold the gate upright in the closed position. Non-reach-through wire mesh is attached to the back frame at the factory and cannot be removed. A second wire mesh designed to be attached to main gate is supplied with every gate for attachment on site by the installer. Alternative Style : the gate design can be continued into this area.

Chain attach brackets

• Most slide gate openers are chain driven. Our system uses a bolt-on chain attach bracket which can be vertically adjusted to align with the chain from the opener. This facilitates the installation.

Heavy Duty Chain

• The heavy duty chain attaches to the adjustable chain attach bracket at each end of the gate and passes through the drive sprocket of the Gate Opener.

Catch Post

• For single leaf sliding gates, a Catch Post is recommended to add stability.

Built-in Gate Opener Platform

• The Amazing Slider Guide also features a mounting platform at the bottom for attaching the gate opener. This eliminates the need to pour a concrete pad for the opener, saving you time and money. The Amazing Slider Guide roller placement and gate opener platform placement are both adjustable vertically for use with various gate heights and for a trouble free installation.

Photo Eyes

• Photo eyes or safety loops are required to ensure safety of pedestrians and/or vehicles.

 Slide Gates

Our sliding gate system features the unique Amazing Slider Guide that allows you to hang gates that are not only functional, but also beautiful. The sliding gate styles shown below are rolling gate style with Ground Track.

All rolling sliding gates are finished with a baked-on powder coat. 

The ground track automatic driveway sliding gates set the industry standard and are designed to roll on 'V' Track angle iron welded to a steel strap with mounting holes, which is then bolted to the driveway. The gate has 'V' Wheels that roll along the track as the gate opens and closes.

The gate is held upright with either 2 or 4 roller guideposts (2 for gates under 18' wide and 4 posts for longer gates). The posts are set in concrete on either side of the gate and pinch the gate top rail between rollers, which are fastened to the posts.
