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?
W/O able to observe the target location, I'd venture one or two okay
three choices--mount the hanging post at the corner outside the opening
so doesn't intrude into the open area. Alternative one would be to
simply hang on the house/garage so will swing back against the wall w/
180-deg hinges. Lastly would be the idea of sliding -- presuming
there's not an opening for it go go into, that would take a barn rail or
similar on one or other wall, probably far more obtrusive than the other
alternatives.
Picture posted somewhere could undoubtedly help w/ more concrete
suggestions.
