Sectional Sliding Gates for Driveways
Maximise your driveway with stylish, secure, and automated ‘around the corner’ gates – ideal for compact properties across London, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.
In dense urban areas, traditional swing or sliding gates often aren’t practical. That’s where sectional sliding gates – also known as around the corner or sliding folding gates – provide an ideal solution.
These innovative gates glide along a curved track using hinged panels, folding neatly around the inside corner of a wall or boundary. This clever design eliminates the need for a long runback, making them the perfect choice for narrow driveways, especially in busy London boroughs.
Why Choose Around the Corner Sliding Gates?
When a driveway is too compact for a swing gate and too short for a conventional sliding gate, an around the corner gate is the elegant answer. Hinged panels glide along a curved track and fold neatly around the inside of your boundary wall, so there’s no long runback and not an inch of your driveway is lost. Each gate is made to order in durable aluminium, in a choice of traditional or contemporary designs, colours and finishes. Discreet integrated automation gives smooth, effortless operation, with keypad, fob or smartphone access for added security.
