Modern Wood and Metal Sliding Gate Set

This modern sliding gate set in SketchUp features a combination of vertical wood panelling and black metal frames for residential entries. These two distinct gate designs showcase a contemporary aesthetic, utilising vertical wood grain panels framed by matte black metal profiles. The first configuration features a solid, clean-lined wood infill with an integrated cut-out house number section. The second version highlights a more pronounced wood texture with vertical metal slats and integrated light sources. Both designs are built with a robust structural frame, suitable for sliding mechanisms. The proportions are balanced for standard driveway widths, offering a sophisticated, clean interface between the street and the residential property, while maintaining architectural privacy and security.

The download is a 2.5 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 2 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

When integrating these gates into a SketchUp scene, place them as individual components on a dedicated layer for easy visibility toggling. Users should scale the model to match the specific site plan dimensions before applying custom textures to the wood surfaces for high-fidelity renders. The black metal frames are grouped separately, allowing for quick material overrides or adjustments to the metal sheen. Ensure the gate axis is correctly aligned to the sliding track path to facilitate accurate animation or positioning within the master landscape model.
