Chain link Slide Gates is the product of choice for security and peace of mind because of its strength and long term durability. It is also corrosion resistant, easy to install, versatile and, perhaps most of all, a great value.

	Residential  Chain link Slide Gates , Commercial  Chain link Slide Gates , and Industrial  Chain link Slide Gates  are commonly available with a vinyl coated finish in three color choices (black, brown, green),  plus the standard galvanized silver / gray metallic look in height sizes 4ft. 5 ft., 6 ft., 8 ft., and taller for tennis courts, zoos, ball fields, etc.

General:  Chain link slide gates are primarily used for chain link fences in order to minimize the amount of space

used by the gate. These gates slide parallel with the fence line using a track and wheel system. Gate frames are

welded and depending on the size may also be braced and trussed. Finish size of gate must be wider than the

opening size to account for the rear wheels which are bolted to the gate frame. Gates do not require a wide counterbalance

like a cantilever gate. The height of the gate is shorter than the fence to allow for the chosen wheel carrier which is under the

gate.

Chain link Slide Gates - Advantage(s):  Rolling gates use less space than typical swing type gates. They are also

inexpensive compared with V-trackgates and cantilever gates. The design is simple and incorporates many fittings that simply

bolt together making the projectpossible for a do-it-yourselfer. The lack of a counterbalance on the gate frame makes tight fits

possible. Repairs and\adjustments are easily done with household tools.

Disadvantage(s):  The wheel carriers which are mounted under the gate prevent the gate from being installed close to the

ground. Although few animals can squeeze through a 3-6" gap, it can still be problematic. Wheel carriers are also susceptible

to being blocked by snow and debris. Wheel carriers work best on asphalt or concrete driveways. You may also consider

pouring a sidewalk-like path in concrete for the gate wheel(s) to travel on. Wheels mounted on heavy gates will wear into asphalt

driveways and dig a rut.  Rolling gates work best on level surfaces. Rolling gates cannot be automated. The friction of the wheels

will destroy an operator. If you either now or later wish to automate a sliding gate, consider using a cantilever gate instead.

Chain link Slide Gates Wheel Carriers 
Function: The function of the wheel carriers, single or double, is to hold up the weight of the latch side of the gate. They also keep

the gate lined up with the latch post. Most simply bolt on, however consider tack welding part of the fitting to better secure the fitting.  
Choosing a Size and Type:  There are many factors and variables used to determine which size and type of carriers to use. Weight,

size, and terrain will all play a role in choosing a wheel carrier. When in doubt, choose the heavier model.

Chain link Slide Gates Rear Wheels 
Function:  The function of the rear wheel is twofold; it both holds the rear of the gate off the ground and keeps the gate on the track

at the same time. Rear wheels bolt to the upright of the gate frame using rear wheel brackets. There is a small steel plate mounted

to the rear wheel which holds the gate on the track. All rear wheels will roll on a 1-5/8'' track which is a typical size of tubing used for

top rail, mid rail, and bottom rail.

Chain link Slide Gates Pipe Track Brackets 
Function:  Pipe track brackets are used to mount the track to the posts. They are available in different sizes and shapes for different

mounting applications. They are cast in such a way that allows you to connect 1-5/8" track on each end to continue the track to infinity.

 The same part is used to terminate the track; simply cut off the swedged piece for a trimmed look.

Chain link Slide Gates Latches 
Function:  As with most latches, rolling gate latches are used to secure and lock a fenced in area or driveway.  These are also available

in a few different styles.
