If you’ve got a narrow driveway or limited space on either side of your entrance, installing a traditional sliding gate might feel impossible. That’s where telescopic gates come in—a smart, space-saving solution that combines convenience, functionality, and style.
What Are Telescopic Gates?
A telescopic gate is a type of sliding gate made up of two or more horizontal panels that slide behind one another as the gate opens. Think of it like a telescope—hence the name. Instead of needing the full width of the gate to slide open, each section stacks behind the other, drastically reducing the space required to open the gate fully.
Perfect for Limited-Space Driveways
For properties with short side clearance, obstacles like walls, landscaping, or limited fencing area can make standard sliding gates impractical. Telescopic gates solve that problem beautifully.
Example:
Let’s say you need a 12-foot-wide gate. A traditional sliding gate would need a full 12 feet of lateral space to slide open—plus some extra for the gate motor. But with a 2-panel telescopic gate, you only need about 6.5 to 7 feet of side space. With 3 panels, that drops even further.
This design makes telescopic gates ideal for:
- Urban homes with narrow lots
- Commercial driveways with tight side access
- Sloped properties where swinging gates aren’t practical
- Residential communities with limited frontage
Fully Automated & Secure
Telescopic gates can be fully automated with modern gate operators, sensors, and access control systems, just like any traditional sliding or swing gate. Safety features like photocell sensors, edge protection, and remote access controls ensure reliable and secure operation.
Plus, they’re built tough—steel, aluminum, or galvanized metal frames ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
Sleek Look, Seamless Function
Beyond the function, telescopic gates offer a modern, clean aesthetic. Because they open in a compact, linear motion, they’re discreet and elegant—no wide gate swings, no visual clutter. You can choose custom designs that match your fence, building architecture, or personal style.
