Default 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?


How sturdy does it need to be - keep pets or small child in yard? I can
imagine rigging something on the order of snow fence but using nylon
cord (or even flexible poly tubing). Small pvc pickets with poly coated
steel threaded through?
