Measuring for your new sliding gate is actually a very simple process.

Simply take a measurement of your opening.

Sliding-gate-showing-overhang

For a sliding gate to work, an overhang of 800mm is required. This is to hold the gate upright whilst opening/ closing.

So, your sliding gate width will be “opening width” + 800mm.

For example, if opening width = 3m 420mm (+ 800mm overhang) then the width is 4m 220mm.

Width: Total width of sliding gate including required overhang. Sliding gates arrive in 2 or 3 sections (dependant on size). These are simply bolted together on site.

Height: Taken from lowest to highest point of the gate including the horns. 

  • SELECT GATE SIZE

    *WIDTH

    How to Measure: Simply take the width between the opening posts/ pillars plus 800mm (for required overhang).

    It's important to remember for a sliding gate to work, one side must have a clearance of "opening width + required overhang". For example. If your opening is 3m you would need a clearance of "opening" (3m) + "overhang" (800mm) = 3m 800mm.

    *HEIGHT

    Taken to the highest point of the gate. We recommend leaving a gap of 25mm (1") clearance between the bottom edge of the gate and ground level. 

    Whilst looking at the back of the gate, will it slide to the left or to the right?

    HORN DESIGN

    Change the design on the gate horns. 

    OPTIONAL EXTRAS YOU MIGHT LIKE

    FINISH OPTIONS

    Professionally finished. Please note. Colour may look slightly different on the gate due to screen settings. We do offer free samples on request. To order your free sample, please contact us.

    *ENTER RAL COLOUR CODE

    Please enter RAL colour code.

HARDWOOD SLIDING GATES

Expertly Crafted by Hand

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.

INFORMATION

How to Measure

Measuring for your new sliding gate is actually a very simple process.

Simply take a measurement of your opening.

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.

Please note: If purchasing metal posts with your gate, hinge pins will be welded to the post. If not, we supply hinge pin plates for you to fix to existing posts/ pillars.

Step Two

For a sliding gate to work, an overhang of 800mm is required. This is to hold the gate upright whilst opening/ closing.

So, your sliding gate width will be “opening width” + 800mm.

For example, if opening width = 3m 420mm (+ 800mm overhang) then the width is 4m 220mm.
