WHY TELESCOPIC ?
Two leaf telescopic gates basically allow twice the opening width into half the opening space. Three leaf uses even less room. If the opening or run off area as we call it is less than than your driveway opening then telescopic may be for you. Example - If you had a four metre opening but only two and a half metres of run off area with a standard sliding gate there is simply no way to install in this area. Using the telescopic gate kit allows the four metres to slide neatly behind the two and a half metre run off area leaving you four metres of clear driveway.
Telescopic gates have been manufactured for many years essentially in the same way they are largely today. In recent years hardware suppliers have developed telescopic kits which in the main is a box of all the components that we have always used. Some are complicated and fancy and cost as much as the gate itself but still work on the exact same principle. The kits you are reading about today are about as simple as we could make them. The aim is a low cost and simple to build and install kit using the same principles that we have for many years.
