A gate can do more than define an entrance. Its proportions, slat pattern and colors can help it feel like part of the home. This real Andes Fence project pairs a black frame and vertical slats with wood-look aluminum accents for a contemporary look.
If you are comparing custom sliding gates in Broward County, start with both the design you like and the way you need to use the opening. The right proposal should address appearance, available space and everyday access together.

What makes this gate design stand out?
The repeated vertical lines create a consistent pattern across the opening. Dark central slats give the gate a simple visual backdrop, while the wood-look aluminum accent sections add contrast at the sides. It is an option to consider when you want a modern entrance with more character than a single-color panel.
Slat spacing also changes how the gate looks from different angles. Bring examples of the level of screening you prefer, rather than assuming every slatted design provides complete privacy. We can discuss the appearance and material options available for your project.
Plan the opening before choosing the details
A sliding gate travels sideways, so the opening and the area beside it need to be considered together. A photo can help start the conversation, but the final layout depends on the property. Consider these points when requesting a quote:
- Everyday access: Who or what needs to pass through the entrance?
- Clearance: What walls, landscaping or other features are beside the opening?
- Style: Would you like vertical slats, horizontal lines or a different pattern?
- Screening: How much visibility through the gate would you prefer?
- Operation: Are you considering manual operation or would you like to discuss an automatic system?
Considering automatic operation? Include that in your inquiry so the gate layout and access requirements can be discussed together. Our team can explain the options for your property.
Wood-look aluminum accents and colors
A black frame provides contrast against a light exterior, while aluminum details with a wood-look finish can coordinate with other finishes around a property. The accent slats on this project are aluminum with a wood-look finish, bringing warm wood tones into the design. Compare finish samples and ask about the recommended care for your chosen finish before deciding.
What should a custom sliding gate quote include?
Ask what is included in the proposed opening size, frame and infill materials, finish, supports, operating hardware and installation work. If an existing gate needs to be removed, include that in the discussion. A clear scope makes it easier to compare proposals for the same work.
Share your city in Broward County, a photo of the opening and any approximate dimensions you already have. Please keep payment details and sensitive documents out of your initial inquiry. Andes Fence will follow up by phone to discuss the project; submitting a quote request does not reserve an appointment time.
