    ADDING AUTOMATION NOW OR IN THE FUTURE?

    Extra support for the gate is needed if planning on automating your gates. This is due to the force of the automation to the gate. Standard rails (over time) will fail. Add either a solid middle rail if attaching automation arms to middle of the gate (also know as above ground automation), or bottom middle rail if using underground automation.

How to Measure

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.

MADE IN THE UK

Expertly Crafted by Hand

All of our gates are expertly crafted by hand in the UK using time served construction techniques. Unlike others, we do not pin our gates together. We use a traditional framing method. Mortise and tenon joints, along with dowels, are a traditional woodworking technique that provide strong and durable connections between frame members. Combining these joints in a wooden frame enhances stability and longevity. When it comes to securing the cladding to the frame, we only use stainless steel screws. Standard screws will rust leading to the gate's structure to fail over time. Hardwood is a lot more of a stable timber compared to softwood but will expand and shrink during different stages throughout the year. This is completely normal. To protect this, we rebate the inner legs of the gate. This allows the cladding to expand and contract without causing any damage to the frame and without it being noticeable when looking at the gate.

Finish is in the detail. Routered detailing to the edges of the gate, creating a more polished and refined appearance. This decorative touch enhances the overall visual appeal of the gate, making it stand out as a well-crafted and finished piece.

We welcome and encourage our customers to come and visit our factory and see gates being produced for themselves.

HARDWOOD DRIVEWAY GATES

The Beauty of Iroko

Iroko hardwood timber comes from the Milicia excelsa tree and is commonly known for it's warm and attractive appearance. Featuring a golden to dark brown color with interlocked grain patterns. As it ages, it tends to darken, developing a rich patina that adds to its aesthetic appeal.

With natural weather-resistant properties, which make it ideal for outdoor use. It can withstand exposure to different weather conditions, including rain, sun, and humidity, without significant deterioration. This makes it a preferred material for outdoor gates.

Overall, Iroko hardwood timber's beauty and benefits make it a popular choice for a variety of applications where strength, durability, and an appealing aesthetic are essential considerations.

Iroko is a strong and dense hardwood, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its strength is comparable to teak, making it a reliable choice for construction and woodworking projects that require robust materials.
