Driveway gates - advice please.

coolguy · 30th July 2020, 11:35

I am running out of room in my yard, and am contemplating having a driveway gate that slides to save valuable space. Does anyone on here have any good (or bad) experience with suppliers and installers please ? Midlands based would be preferable, although most seem to be national firms.

Thanks.

My only experience is bespoke gates made by an independent metal work specialist.
Do you want electric or will manual do?
Perhaps try looking for a small independent.

knocking on someone's door who has gates you like and asking them who made them may give you the lead you need
