cantilevered gate

mild steel and expanded mesh.

The cantilevered gate was
designed beneath the shade of
a concrete roof in solution to a
specific requirement: it had to
slide along the face of a brick
wall without any noticeable top
guide when opened or closed,
so as to make light of daily
operation and leave its manner
of support disguised.

Cantilevered off its base from
two wheels on a single guide
along the driveway threshold,
the gate utilises twin tracks
above, one welded along the
top of the gate frame and the
other to the steel-I beam that
serves to support the roof.
Steel arms welded to the
opposing ends of each track
run wheels guided by their
opposing respective tracks, to
the effect of a self-stabilising
gate as it is pulled shut and
guides that never impinge.
