Should I choose a swing or sliding driveway gate?

A swing gate needs room behind it for the full arc of the leaf and a level drive, and in return it is simple to build and install. A cantilever sliding gate runs along the fence on its own counterweight with no track across the drive, so it suits a short or rising driveway, winter conditions and business entrances. We make both with the same infill, so they match the pedestrian gate and fence panels. Compare swing and sliding layouts.
