How do i build a sliding driveway gate?

Question

I NEED TO BUILD A AUTO SLIDING DRIVEWAY GATE TO FILL A 14 FOOT SPAN, ANY ONE HELP WITH FAB DRAWINGS

Answer 1

You need to engage a blacksmith, who will probably already have made similar gates. You will need 14feet + on the opening side for the gate to open into unless it's sectional! but I'm sure you realise that? Operators can be had from BPT, I have fitted these in the past.

Answer 2

Building a gate not such a big deal. If you know how to weld you are half way there. You say you are a carpenter? Well, I have built some very nice gates using wood. You can see some examples on www.cvsp.co.za
Free is not an option, the cost of wood and steel alone comes down a large amount of cash. Not to mention time and consumables.

Answer 3

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

Answer 4

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/gmxu8
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Answer 5

I think you are asking a bit too much, do you realise what people pay for designers of such things, to get it for free, well, good luck to you.
