Small sliding gate - plans, ideas, readymade?

Hi,
I need to put a small 48" high fence gate across a narrow (30 inches
or so) opening. It is between my house and separate garage.
The opening is so narrow, that I can't narrow it further with hinge
and latch posts.
Can anyone think of a small gate kit (either wooden, iron, PVC, or
aluminum) on the market?
Or I can build one. Any thoughts on making it roll? Should I keep it
within a frame?
Ready made sounds unlikely so your material is probably going to be wood.
It's going to be difficult unless you can find some rolling gate hardware
that's small enough.
I'd say use pocket door hardware but it would fall off the track a lot.
I'd look at closet door rollers and a pocket door/gate if I couldn't find
small rolling gate hardware. Do a Google search if no one comes up with a
better idea.
I'm trying to picture it and why is there a gate between the house and
garage and why does it need a gate? Can't you just shut the door? I'm
guessing a small child is involved. :-)
