For Swing Gates:
Width: Total width of the opening. Measured pillar to pillar. If you require Aluminium posts we will add them to the quote, adjusting the width of the gate accordingly.
Height : Actual measurement of the gate from ground to the top most point of the gate. This can be along the hinge side for straight and curved down gates but along the centre for curved up gates. For straight top gates please measure along hinge side from ground to the just under the pillar cap (if any). It is recommended to leave a minimum gap of 100mm between top of the gates and the top of the pillar at hinge side. This is to allow room for hinges and cover.
For Aluminium Posts:
We will add the most appropriate height and thickness for the aluminium posts if required.
Standard width available for painted and wooden finish Aluminium posts is 100mm and 180mm.

All our gates are supplied with NO posts as standard. We assume there are brick pillars to hold the gates in place. The standard size Aluminium posts to hang gates is 100mmx100mm thick. Height would be calculated automatically to match the gates. We allow extra length to cement the posts to the ground. Wooden finish posts would cost 21% more than painted Aluminium posts.
Laser cutting for inbuilt LED lighting and number engraving is possbile only with 180mm posts.
Colour of the posts would be same as the colour of the gates. For wooden finish gates, we choose matching wooden finish posts.
Adding Aluminium posts adds the stability and ease of installation as well as gives your driveway gates the beauty it deserves. You may choose to place the posts between the existing brick pillar or behind them. Either way make sure you measure them right.
Aluminium posts are supplied as pair.
If our standard sizes are not suitable for your project please see your Design Your Own Section or contact us.

At Slab we manufacture standard sliding gates that runs on track and rollers as well as telescopic, cantilever (free standing) and double leaf sliding gates.
Only flat top styles can be made in telescopic and double leaf and cantilever designs. Telescopic and double leaf sliding are best suited for small driveways. Cantilever gate are usually chosen if you have a slopped driveway. Roller and tracks are made of stainless steel as standard.
Our gates are manufactured with anti-lift mechanism for maximum safety and security.
Swing gates are installed between the pillars as standard. This allows the leafs to open 90 degrees inwards.
In some situations, you may want the gates to be installed behind the pillars. This allows more room for the driveways. The leaves open 90 degree inwards in this mode of installation. In case you need the gates to open more than 90 degree, let us know and we will be able to use 105 degree or 180 opening hinges. Add any information in the Additional Info section of the form.
Hinges used for each of these installation is different and so we need this information to draft the best quote for your driveway gates.
Slab Swing gates are available in flat, curved, semi and dipped designs.
Only flat top styles can be made with unequal leaves.
