Measuring for your new gate is actually a very simple process.
If existing posts/ pillars are in place, take three horizontal measurements. Top, middle and bottom as shown below.
Make a note of the SMALLEST width.
** If you are replacing the posts, take a measurement of the whole opening width and reduce size by the width of the posts. For example: Opening width of 3m 460mm minus 2x posts (at 100mm wide each) = 3m 260mm.
Next, decide how the gate will hang and reduce width accordingly. The is by far the most popular option. Gate hinges are mounted to the rear of post. A gap of 15mm between edge of gap and post (each side) and a centre gap of 10mm for opening/ closing.
Reduce 40mm off your smallest measurement (from “Step 1”).

I’m pleased with the purchase. The gate’s design is sleek and complements my property well. It was relatively easy to install, and the wood quality appears durable. The gate operates smoothly, providing a reliable and secure entrance. While it met my expectations, I deducted one star as I found the latch mechanism a bit finicky at times. Overall, a good investment for those seeking an attractive and functional driveway gate.

We needed to replace some old gates after purchasing our new home. Wanted to provide privacy as well as feeling more secure. Found these guys online and ordered via the website. Gates arrived on time. The quality of the gate is superb. We’ve had a lot of compliments from our new neighbours. We would recommend gates and fences to our friends and family.

I recently installed a wooden driveway gate, and I’m thrilled with the results. The gate is not only visually appealing but also impressively sturdy. The wood quality is excellent, and the installation was straightforward. It adds a touch of elegance to my property, operates smoothly, and has garnered compliments from neighbours. Overall, a fantastic purchase that combines style and durability. Highly recommended!
