Groundwork Requirements For Cantilever Sliding Gate Installations
Installing a Cantilever Sliding Gate begins with precise groundwork to ensure safety and stability. A concrete foundation on the motor side measures approximately 1m wide, 2.5 to 4 m long, and 1m deep, with two templates and rebar bolts fixed before pouring. A second foundation on the latch post side, around 0.7m³, secures a third template with four bolts. Accessories require a duct with a draw cord across the opening, and 240V 6A single-phase power supply enters beneath the motor. Use string lines to align the gate centre line, ensure 100mm ground clearance, and maintain correct spacing from nearby fences to avoid entrapment.
We provide templates and assistance for those doing their own groundwork.
Note: the timber lining of these holes is not necessary. In this instance the base was put in a hollow. The timber shuttering was put in place then earth filled in around it.
A small timber edging around the top is all that is needed to give a tidy crisp edge to the foundation.
