Ask companies that do wooden fences if they do cantilever gates, e.g.:

There are now some better looking overhead type options.


That is depressing. How about if there are wheels without the track? I really like the look of a sliding wood panel, rather that a big sheet of metal in my very small garden area.

Oh, I mean a gate that slides open then you can drive your car through. Some gates swing, some gates roll, some even fold. Have you ever read that book, "That's not my Gate"?

Does anyone have any idea on the best contractor or materials to install a wooden sliding entry gate at the rear of a row house?

This is driving me crazy, it seems that this is not a popular thing, many roll up garage doors but not many that slide, and even fewer that look nice.

Any tips, and recommendations welcome.
