Gates
Sliding and swing gates, fabricated in steel to fit your driveway exactly — not a standard size adjusted after the fact.
Home › Services › Gates
Adonai Steel Fabrications builds two main styles of driveway gate — sliding gates, which run along a track or cantilever rail parallel to the fence line, and swing gates, which open on hinges like a door — fabricated in steel to the exact width, slope and clearance of your entrance, manual or automated. We also handle gate installation and gate repairs.

Sliding or swing?
| Sliding gate | Swing gate | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Sloped or tight driveways, narrow street frontage | Flat driveways with clearance to swing open |
| Space needed | Clear run along the fence line | Clear arc in front of and/or behind the gate |
| Automation | Common, smooth operation | Common, straightforward hinge-mounted motors |
Unsure which suits your property? Tell us the slope and available space when you call and we’ll recommend the right style rather than sell you the wrong gate.
Styles and materials
We fabricate driveway gates in steel with solid, slatted or open-design panels, chosen to match your fencing and the look of your home. Posts and hardware are sized to suit the weight of the gate and how often it is used.

Automation
Both our sliding and swing gates can be built automation-ready, or fully automated from the start. Planning for automation up front means the frame, hinge posts or track are already built to suit a motor, which avoids retrofitting work later.

Cost
The price depends on the gate style (sliding or swing), the opening width, the panel design, the finish and whether you automate. Every gate is measured on site and fabricated to your entrance, so we quote after we have measured rather than from a stock price list.

Sloped driveways
Sloped, tight or narrow-frontage driveways are where a custom-fitted gate matters most. Sliding gates are usually the better choice on a slope because they travel along the fence line instead of swinging through an arc. We check the slope and clearance on site before we build.

FAQs
Yes — sliding gates are usually the better choice on a slope because the gate travels along a level track or cantilever rail rather than needing ground clearance to swing through an arc.
A single swing gate uses one leaf across the full entrance width; a double (bi-parting) gate uses two leaves that meet in the middle, which suits wider entrances better since each leaf needs less swing clearance.
It can usually be added later, but planning for automation upfront means the frame, hinge posts or track are already built to suit a motor, which avoids retrofitting work down the track.
Both sliding and swing gates can be built to suit most standard and oversized driveways; the practical limit comes down to available run length or swing clearance, which we check on-site.
