Gate hardware for outdoor driveways that keeps sliding gates aligned and resilient in wet conditions. Installers and homeowners gain confidence from galvanised steel construction and modular 1 m sections. Is Schartec Sliding Gate Rail Floor the right choice for a durable, easy-to-fit V-groove gate?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Durability: Galvanised Q235B (S235JR) steel resists corrosion and handles outdoor exposure
- • Best for: Homeowners and contractors fitting V-groove sliding driveway or yard gates
- • Not ideal for: Gates that do not use V-groove wheels or uneven, non-flat mounting surfaces
Galvanised V-profile rail supplied in 1 m sections with pre-drilled mounting points. Sections can be strung together to achieve the desired track length.
Long-lasting outdoor performance – thanks to galvanised Q235B steel
Q235B steel (equivalent S235JR, 1.0038) is galvanised with a white corrosion protection coating to reduce surface oxidation. The galvanising layer forms a barrier that slows rust formation in exposed conditions.
Durable construction keeps rails serviceable for years in external environments. Ideal where longevity and low maintenance matter.
Fit to any driveway length – with modular 1 m sections
Rails arrive in 1 metre lengths that can be linked together, allowing installers to assemble a run to the exact gate span required. Other lengths are available from the same shop for different needs.
Custom-length tracks simplify on-site adjustments and reduce waste. Suitable for bespoke installations and uneven gate openings.
Quicker, more consistent installation – with pre-drilled mounting points
Pre-drilled fixing holes are positioned along the rail to accept standard fastenings, ensuring consistent spacing and alignment during installation. V-profile geometry keeps wheel travel predictable.
Faster alignment and secure fixing reduce fitting time and help avoid rework. Matches existing V-groove castors and accessories from the same brand.
