The Estate Slide 14 Foot Long, Single Driveway Gate Made in USA - Slides to left 14'

From the innovative brand Estate Slide known for its dependable gate automation comes the new eye catching and affordable Estate Slide Driveway Gate Collection. With an elegant sweeping arc and clean lines this single 14 foot long gate (14 foot is width of driveway, actual gate length including tail is 19' 8")is functional both in its appearance and in regard to automation. The design incorporates classic artistry, sturdy wrought aluminum alloy and a smooth powder coated finish. Unlike other gates where automation is a secondary thought, Estate Slide recognized the need for operator placement from the start; therefore customer automation preferences were considered beforehand which ultimately prevents awkward looking and structurally unsound flat bars from being added later on. See “gate construction” below for more details on how other gate companies fail to create much needed automation support.

Additionally, by using wrought aluminum as the base metal instead of steel it creates a stronger lighter weight gate, which in turn, is safer for people and objects as well as benefits the operator motor since it puts less strain on the gears. As gate automation professionals, Estate Slide sought to anticipate the needs of consumers and incorporate those details when designing this dynamic sliding driveway gate. It’s easy to drill, easy to lift, easy to automate which keeps both the DIY installation effort and cost down significantly.

One other unique factor about our Estate Slide Driveway Gate Collection is that they are made in the U.S. by skilled welders which follow the American Welding Society's Standards. Keeping the manufacturing local allows for efficient quality review and substantially quicker shipping time compared to overseas outsourcing.

With all of these features and benefits another company would charge a much higher price, but because GateCrafters.com has a special relationship with Estate Slide, we've decided to pass the savings on to you! From our loyal GateCrafters customers we've heard the request for affordable security. Never before has such a well designed driveway gate been so accessible and so affordably priced.

As mentioned above the construction of the Estate Slide Driveway Gate compared to other brands is no subtle difference because automation concerns were implemented during its design process. Only as an afterthought will other gate manufactures make additions or alterations to become structurally sound to handle an operator - which is usually unsightly or unstable as it will be a bolted solution where welding should be used. Meanwhile, Estate Slide Driveway Gates are supported by the full frame and entire collection of thicker than average pickets. Because there are no rivets or bolts in the constructions and there are 4 sided welding on the frame, pickets and cross members; the heaviest of commercial motor chain driven operators will not put a strain now or over time on the integrity of the gate. Also taken into consideration are rack and pinion slide gate openers. Most gates only allow for mounting of chain driven operators even after modification - leaving with no option to accommodate the the quiet, maintenance free rack and pinion operators that are gaining popularity in the US and have been used for decades in Europe. It is clear that many customers seek to automate their gate, so Estate Slide Driveway Gates were designed to achieve this purpose not as an afterthought but as a main feature of its design.

Estate Slide Driveway Gates are made with 6061-T6 wrought aluminum alloy and then powder coated for a protective seal and uniform color. The 6061-T6 wrought aluminum is a high-grade alloy with a yield strength of about 40,000 pounds per square inch*. For comparison, this is much stronger than “mild steel” which has a yield strength at about 20,000 to 30,000 pounds per square inch. Furthermore aluminum will not rust. 6061-T6 wrought aluminum is used for the purpose of durability and resiliency, providing a quality dent resistance and lasting beauty.

Powder coating is the process by which powdered pigment is applied to and cured on a surface. It consists of a mechanical and/or chemical treatment of the surface to remove impurities and contaminants followed by the application of the pigments. Then the material is cured at high temperatures which makes the pigments flow together and react chemically to form the coating. Powder coating is preferred for certain surfaces because it creates or contains close to no volatile organic compounds and does not sag or run with thicker coats. The overspray can also be recycled so there is little waste, making it less expensive and creating less hazardous waste. Our Estate Slide Driveway Gates are powder coated to provide the most uniform appearance possible.

As mentioned above, the Estate Slide Driveway Gates were designed with the purpose of automation in mind. Most of the single slide Estate Slide Brand gate openers are compatible with this driveway gate. Furthermore, all of the Estate Slide Driveway Gates come with a limited lifetime warranty. This warranty is provided by the manufacturer for structural integrity against defects in materials and workmanship.
