ᐅ Looking for manufacturers of sliding gates (driveway gate, courtyard gate)

I hope this is the right forum.

We are currently considering installing an electric sliding gate for our property. Unfortunately, I don’t have a clear overview of the manufacturers available, and I’m not even sure what the proper term for it is.

We are looking for a gate that would be installed at the end of the property and slides sideways when you approach it by car. So it would also serve as the entrance to the property.

When I google the keywords from the title, I find a few brands that I’m not familiar with. Are there any “high-quality, well-known” manufacturers here, similar to how Hörmann is known for garage doors, for example? Hörmann does have something like this, but not really for private use unless you’re into industrial design.

I would appreciate it if anyone could name one or more manufacturers.

Thank you very much and best regards

From my experience as a window manufacturer, I know that some gate manufacturers prefer not to deal directly with end customers and instead offer their products as white label items to building component producers, who then include them in their own range. My first point of contact would be the local fence builder, since you are basically looking for a kind of mobile fence section, aren’t you?

We are getting the gate including the fence from Poland. Meanwhile, several neighbors want to place orders together 😎
Many acquaintances have already done this and were/are more than satisfied. So if you don’t live too far from the border, it’s worth taking a look at the neighboring country :-)

That would be the same for us (unfortunately only in theory), as the mentioned manufacturers (who do not supply end customers) are located in Belgium and the Netherlands.

We ordered a gate and wicket from Zaunzar through a local metalworking company, as well as a mailbox system from Renz, and had them installed.

The dog was not included in the delivery 😉

May I ask about the price range for all this and which region you are from?

EDIT:
How wide is your driveway?

The total width is 5.6m (18.4 feet), and the sliding gate is 4.20m (13.8 feet). All in all, including installation, foundations, and electrical work, the cost was just under 17,000 euros in the greater Frankfurt area.
