DIY folding suspended sliding gate
If you have limited space to slide a suspended gate open, a folding suspended gate may be the solution. The same components are used as for a standard suspended gate. Sliding it open creates more friction than with a standard gate, so it is best to choose a structure that is as lightweight as possible. The gate covers a 6 m opening, and all the gate leaves together take up 25 cm when open.
