ALEKO 12' × 6' Galvanized-Steel Sliding Driveway Gate

Product Overview

Give a residential driveway or property entrance a more finished, controlled appearance with this 12-foot-wide ALEKO sliding gate. Its ornamental profile draws inspiration from traditional wrought-iron gates while using heavy-duty galvanized steel for durable modern construction.

The lateral sliding design eliminates the large inward or outward clearance required by a swing gate. When paired with compatible automation and safety equipment, it can also become part of a convenient electronic entry system.

Key Features

• 12-foot nominal width: Offers a more compact option for compatible residential driveways and property entrances.
• Six-foot gate height: Creates a substantial visual boundary with a traditional ornamental appearance.
• Sliding configuration: Moves alongside the fence line rather than swinging across the driveway or surrounding area.
• Galvanized steel construction: Provides dependable structural strength with enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Powder-coated finish: Helps protect the steel against rust, weather exposure, and routine surface wear.
• Wrought-iron-inspired styling: Delivers the character of a traditional decorative gate at a more accessible price.
• Automation compatible: Can be paired with an appropriately sized sliding-gate operator and required safety equipment.
• Versatile application: Suitable for homes, ranches, estates, and other controlled property entrances.

Specifications

Driveway and Site Planning

A 12-foot gate panel does not necessarily provide a full 12-foot clear driveway opening. The finished opening depends on the gate system, posts, guides, overlap, operator placement, and installation configuration.

Sliding gates also require sufficient lateral space beside the driveway for the panel to move completely out of the opening. Before ordering, confirm:

• Required clear driveway width
• Exact gate-panel dimensions
• Available slide-back space
• Track or cantilever configuration
• Post and footing locations
• Ground slope and drainage
• Electrical access for optional automation
• Local permit, setback, and access requirements

Automation and Installation

An electronic gate opener is not identified as included. Powered operation requires a compatible sliding-gate operator, controls, entrapment-protection devices, emergency access provisions, and correctly installed electrical service.

Professional installation is recommended. Posts, foundations, tracks, rollers, guides, stops, locks, and automation equipment must be selected for the gate’s weight, operating configuration, site conditions, and applicable safety standards.

Packaging and Delivery

Package dimensions and shipping weight were not supplied. A forklift or equivalent unloading machine must be available when the shipment arrives.

Confirm package count, total shipment weight, freight-truck access, unloading arrangements, and a secure staging area before delivery.
