Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate | Fabrication Drawings
Tracked sliding gate on a welded aluminium or galvanised steel chassis, clad in dressed timber pickets face-fixed to timber rails. The metal frame carries the wheels and the track; the timber is cladding only. Level ground. The picket tops run flat, scalloped or arched. The drawing starts as the gate on plain wheels. Switch on the add-ons you need: ground track, guide and catch posts, end stops, hardware at real size, a Posts View sheet, a Hardware Details sheet, a gear rack and a motor. Wheel positions can be set one by one.
Configure Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate dimensions and download professional A4 PDF fabrication drawings with orthographic views and dimension lines. No CAD software needed. Sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What opening widths does the Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate support?
The Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate accepts opening widths from 500 mm to 30,000 mm. Enter your exact site measurement and the engine recomputes all frame members, battens or slats, and dimension lines to match.
What do I get in the drawing pack?
Each drawing pack is an A4 PDF with orthographic views (front elevation, side elevation, top view, and isometric), full dimension lines, extension lines, and a professional title block. You also get a live 3D preview in the browser and optional STEP file export for CAD software.
Can I use this drawing for fabrication?
Yes. Dimensions are computed to sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model, not approximated from a template. Print the PDF at actual size, hand it to your fabricator, and build from it. Change any input and the entire drawing regenerates in about 60 seconds.
How long does it take to generate a Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate drawing?
Around 60 seconds end-to-end. Geometry computation runs server-side in a CadQuery process with a 30-second per-request timeout; PDF rendering and download account for the rest. If you change a dimension, regeneration takes the same ~60 seconds — there is no manual redrafting step.
Can I save and reload my dimensions for the Timber Picket Tracked Sliding Gate?
Yes. The free Explorer tier keeps 1 saved drawing, so you always have somewhere to land between visits. Fabricator saves every drawing you make and reloads the configurator in one click, so you can revise a quote, regenerate a clean PDF, or branch a design for a similar customer without re-typing dimensions.
