Figured I'd throw this up here. It's by no means the most pretty thing ever built but i couldn't find anything like it out there so me being me i had to build one.
I just recently bought this house and knew i wanted a privacy fence but problem was is i needed a place to park my lifted F350 so i needed a gate into the yard(which will eventually have a concrete pad.) I didn't want to have to get out and swing the gate open and close every time i left and came back, along with the fact that i didn't want a huge swinging gate that would just take up more yard or be in the alley when opened.
So i decided to go with a sliding gate. Problem was most sliding gates have a track to ride on and i didn't want to do that since i wont have concrete there until the next year or so. So until then i needed it to float over the ground. Most cantilever gates are metal and not having the ability/resources to fabricate a metal gate i decided to make an all wood one. Plus it would have looked weird with the rest of the fence being wood.
I still have to run the conduit and hook up the motor but that's the easy part so let me know what you think and feel free to ask any questions
