No-weld Telescopic Sliding Gates

Introduction

A typical No-weld telescopic gate

No-weld Telescopic sliding gates are more economic to make than other systems, can fit into tighter spaces, look nicer with the drive mechanism and guide system cleverly build into the frame, will work on sloping driveways, can have gates with slats or battens fitted to the front of the frame and can have three or more panels ... read more about telescopic sliding gates.

Telescopic Drive Mechanism

The same No-weld Sliding Gate Channel used for single panel sliding gates can be used for telescopic sliding gates too with the drive mechanism built in where needed.

Guide System

The guide system for telescopic gates uses a block and rail with a channel for the guide block between gates either being cut in by 21mm and screwed to the corner bracket for gates with cladding inserted in the middle of the frame or simply screwed to the surface for gates with cladding on the front of the frame or packed out as needed for large face mounted cladding.

Allowing for a Motor

The motor drives the back panel, which is generally wider than any other panels for the same gate. The sliding gate channel can be extended if necessary to allow for the motor and the guide post design makes the most of the space. ... read more about space required for telescopic gates to open

Telescopic Gates on a Slope

No-weld telescopic gates can be made on a driveway that slopes across. If the gate opens up hill the guide rails can be fitted anywhere on each panel to allow for rise as it opens ... read more about telescopic gates on sloping ground
