Aluminum cantilever slide gate — shop drawing set

Background

Sample project — not a client commission. Produced by BuildPixel Studio, the Upwork agency I run with a web developer partner. A complete fabrication shop drawing set for an aluminum cantilever slide gate (14'-0" clear opening, 6'-0" high), with a fixed panel and a separate pedestrian gate. A-1: site plan with closed and open positions, full backslide envelope, post & footing schedule and general notes. A-2: gate leaf elevation with member marks, operating elevation closed/open, sections and track details. A-3: fixed panel and pedestrian gate elevations, hinge and latch details, hardware schedule. A-4: post footing, truck bracket, catcher post, weep slots, entrapment guarding, steel/aluminum isolation, fastener schedule, weld schedule (AWS D1.2) and bill of materials. Safety & compliance: ASTM F2200 mesh zone up to 48" above grade, guarded rollers and trucks, gate-to-post gaps under 2-1/4", positive stops at both ends of travel, separate pedestrian entrance (UL 325), with a code compliance matrix on sheet A-4. The whole set is generated from a parametric script, so gate sizes can be changed and the full set rebuilt quickly for a new project.
