50′ Custom Gate for Bird Construction Vancouver, BC

This sliding cantilever gate in Vancouver was engineered by Iron Age to provide exceptional performance, durability, and architectural style. This project showcases the installation of one of Vancouver’s longest architectural sliding gates — measuring 50 feet overall. Unlike the common chainlink or lightweight gates, this aluminum gate is built for performance, durability, and style, equipped with a full LiftMaster cantilever automation system.
