Cantilever Gate on Colorado Hillside

This cantilever gate installation in the Colorado hillside showcases a clean, trackless design that appears to float above the sloped terrain, making it ideal for challenging elevation changes and winter conditions. Built with heavy-duty Integrator cantilever hardware, model CGS-500.8G, the gate delivers exceptional strength and stability while eliminating the need for a ground rail. The gate slides cleanly between two stone masonry columns and is securely anchored to reinforced concrete slabs, blending rugged mountain character with precise, engineered performance. The elevated cantilever structure ensures smooth, reliable operation year-round while preserving natural drainage and minimizing impact on the surrounding landscape.
