How do I choose the right sliding gate kit size?

Measure the clear vehicle opening and choose a kit width that covers it: up to 12′, 16′, or 20′, with a 4′, 5′, or 6′ height. The profiles are cut to fit. Confirm the full gate layout, tail and available runback space before cutting.

Is the listed width the opening or the overall gate length?

The size selector describes the opening-width group. In Alumission’s assembly video, the top and bottom frame members are cut to the measured opening plus a 24″ tail. For example, a 12′ opening uses a 14′ horizontal frame in that demonstrated layout.

How much space does a sliding gate need beside the driveway?

Provide an unobstructed runback area that can accommodate the complete gate as it opens, including its tail, guide and stopping arrangement. Measure the actual assembled gate and full travel; opening width alone is not enough to plan the installation.

Can I cut the gate to a smaller size?

Yes. The frame and slats are cut during assembly. Choose the suitable width group and height, then follow the measured cut plan. Cutting the kit smaller does not reduce its listed price.

Can this gate be installed on a sloping driveway?

A wheel-and-track gate needs a properly planned rolling path. A slope across the gate’s travel can affect alignment, ground clearance and safe operation. Have your installer evaluate the site rather than assuming the gate can follow the driveway slope.

Is this a cantilever gate?

This kit uses V-groove wheels and ground V-track. It is not sold as a trackless cantilever system; the 24″ tail shown in the assembly video does not turn it into one.

What is the sliding gate frame made from?

Alumission Aluminum Post 2 Channels forms the top, bottom, front, rear and center frame members. One or more center members divide the opening into slat bays. Slats are captured within the frame channels.

What screws connect the gate frame?

Use #8 screws for the aluminum frame and slat assembly connections shown in the video. The galvanized steel extension tubes use #12 screws. These fasteners have different jobs and should not be interchanged.

Does the gate require welding?

The demonstrated gate assembly uses cut aluminum profiles, screws, corner braces and steel extension inserts, without welding the aluminum gate frame. Site work for the track, supports or automation is separate.

How do I calculate the slat cut length?

For the equal-width bays demonstrated in the video: slat length = (opening width − 5″ − 1.5″ × number of center posts) ÷ (number of center posts + 1). Use inches throughout and confirm your frame layout before cutting the full batch.

How many center posts does my gate need?

Center members reinforce the slats and divide the gate into bays. The number depends on the selected width and assembly layout. Follow the size-specific parts list and cut plan; do not apply a single center-post count to every width.

How is a long frame extended?

The video joins frame sections with a 1¼″ square, 4′ galvanized steel tube, inserting approximately 2′ into each profile. It shows three #12 screws on each side of the joint. Keep the channels aligned and the joint flush.

Why is the front frame cut shorter than the finished gate height?

The video subtracts 3½″ from the intended overall height for its 3″ V-groove wheel and track arrangement. Confirm the actual wheel, track and finished-ground clearances before using that allowance.

What happens if the last slat does not fit the height?

The video trims the final slat lengthwise as needed, leaving approximately ⅞″ above the vertical members to engage the top frame channel. Check the fit before securing the top frame.

When should the post covers and snap covers be installed?

Slide the front outer-channel cover into place before closing the top frame, as shown in the video. Finish the remaining channel covers, screw-track snap covers and tail caps after the frame is secured.

Does the video cover the complete site installation?

The video covers measuring, cutting and assembling the gate leaf. Ground-track anchoring, final guides and stops, and motor installation require their own site-specific installation steps.

Which colors can I order?

Choose Black, Bronze, Dark Gray, Light Gray, White or Wood. The Wood option uses Wood-finish 1-inch aluminum slats, Black 2.5-inch aluminum slats and a Black frame; it is not a timber gate.

Are the wheels included when I choose No Hardware?

Yes. The gate kit’s wheels remain included. No Hardware means the optional track, catcher, guide assembly and motor-chain bracket package is not added.

What does Add Hardware include?

The package adds stainless-steel V-track sections, a gate catcher, a dual-roller guide assembly and a pair of motor-chain attachment brackets. The Product Details tab lists the exact quantities for the selected width group.

How much does the hardware option add?

Select Add Hardware to see the price including the V-track, catcher, guide assembly and chain-bracket package. No Hardware excludes that package but still includes the wheels and corner braces.

Is a gate motor included?

No. The optional hardware includes chain attachment brackets, not a motor, chain, controls, power supply or safety sensors. Select an operator for the finished gate’s weight, length, use and site conditions.

Can the gate be automated?

Automation must be designed around the finished gate and installed with the operator manufacturer’s required guides, stops and entrapment protection. Use a qualified gate-automation installer and provide a separate pedestrian entrance.

How is the kit price calculated?

The listed price depends on the components included for your selected size, finish and hardware option. Select the exact variation above to see its price and packing list.

What is the starting price?

Select your size, finish and hardware option above to see the current price for that configuration, before applicable checkout charges.

How do I maintain an aluminum sliding gate?

Clean the coated aluminum gently with water and mild soap, rinse and dry. Keep the V-track free of stones and debris, and inspect screws, wheels, guides and stops periodically. Follow the operator manufacturer’s maintenance instructions if automated.

Aluminum does not develop iron rust. The complete installation also contains steel and stainless-steel components, which still need appropriate care. Avoid abrasive cleaners and repair coating damage using suitable manufacturer guidance.

Which style offers the privacy I want?

Compare the style photos and its slat-and-spacer layout. Wider gaps allow more visibility; closer slats provide more screening. Privacy and wind exposure depend on the actual configuration, not the style name alone.

Is the kit supplied as a finished, assembled gate?

No. It is a cut-to-fit assembly kit. Plan for measuring, cutting, squaring and fastening the frame and slats, followed by installation of the gate’s rolling and guide system.

Can I match the sliding gate to a fence or side panel?

Alumission offers matching named styles and finishes across its gate, fence and side-panel ranges. Compare the selected style’s slat pattern, spacing and finish before ordering adjoining sections.

Modern Aluminum Sliding Gate – San Francisco Style

Build a coordinated vehicle entrance with this cut-to-fit Alumission sliding gate kit. Compare the San Francisco design with our five aluminum sliding driveway gate styles, then choose your opening width, height, finish and optional hardware package.

Manual operation or motorized automation

This is a gate assembly kit for a wheeled, track-guided installation. It can be planned for manual use or a compatible automatic sliding gate operator. The motor, drive chain, controls, power supply and safety sensors are not included. Have a qualified gate-automation installer match the operator to the completed gate, expected usage and site conditions.

Plan your driveway or vehicle entrance

For a residential driveway, confirm the opening and the clear space beside it for the gate to slide. Planning a commercial or industrial entrance? Contact Alumission with your measurements and project requirements to confirm suitability before ordering. Choose the finished gate configuration for the site rather than assuming every size suits every installation.

A frame built to capture and support the slats

The top, bottom and vertical frame members are made from Alumission Aluminum Post 2 Channels. One or more center members reinforce the slats and divide the gate into bays. The slats fit into the horizontal and vertical frame channels; #8 screws secure the aluminum assembly connections. Galvanized steel inserts and #12 screws join frame extensions where required.

The system uses Alumission’s aluminum slats and spacers, with the profile widths and pattern specified for your selected style. It is a screw-assembled kit that you cut and assemble to fit your opening.

Choose your size, finish and hardware

Available for openings up to 12′, 16′ or 20′ wide, each at 4′, 5′ or 6′ high. The assembly video adds a 24″ tail to the measured opening when cutting the horizontal frame. Allow for that complete gate length and its runback space.

Choose Black, Bronze, Dark Gray, Light Gray, White or Wood. Wood uses wood-look 1-inch aluminum slats with Black 2.5-inch slats and a Black frame. The price depends on the components, finish and hardware option included in your selected kit. Cutting the kit smaller does not change its price.

Wheels remain included with No Hardware. Add Hardware adds the track, catcher, guide and chain-bracket package: included in the displayed price when you select Add Hardware. Motor and automation equipment are not included.
