How to Calculate Gate Width:

Take 3 measurements between opening – Top, middle and bottom – use the smallest measurement.
If posts are already in place, reduce your measurement by 20mm (4/5″) to allow for clearance.
Putting in posts, don’t forget to also reduce this from your measurement.
When you have your measurement – select from drop down menu. If the size is not there, call or select next size down.

How to Measure

Calculating gate width with existing pillars or posts in place.

Take THREE measurements between the pillars/ posts. Across the top, middle and bottom. Make a note of the SMALLEST measurement.

Gates to opens inwards towards property. Hinges mounted on rear of post/ pillar with the back edge of gate being inline with back of post/ pillar.

REDUCE 20mm (approx. 4/5″) from your lowest measurement.

There are two other ways of setting your garden/ side gate up depending on personal preference. The two diagrams shown below if you the set up with the gate in the centre of the pillars and one where the front edge of the gate would be inline with the front of the pillar. These posts can be mounted to the side of your pillar.

Clearance of 20mm (approx. 4/5″) still required. Gate swings inwards towards property.

Specification

The depth, thickness and quality of materials used in the construction of hardwood gates is a key factor on how the gate will look and perform. We only use the finest Iroko hardwood. This ultimately produces a long lasting gate that really does “make an entrance”.

Rear Bracing: Most gates will be produced with a diagonal brace system. This is sometimes changed to an “A” brace design if needed due to size.

Why Choose Us?

We are UK’s largest bespoke gate manufacturer. All of our gates are expertly crafted by hand in the UK (not imported from abroad) using traditional, time served construction techniques. Great care and pride is taken to each and every one of our gates to ensure our customers gate is something they can be proud of.

What makes us different?

Compared to our competitors…a lot! Within manufacturing process. Deeper frames and thicker cladding to aid longevity of the gate. Traditional mortise, tenon and dowel jointed frames combined with the use of high grade, PVA adhesive to ensure frames are locked and secured in place. Hidden stainless steel screws to hold the cladding boards in position (not nailed in), and being hidden, increases kerb appeal. To help prevent the gate from moving and twisting, the frames are rebated to let the cladding expand and contract without effecting the gate structure. Finer details are applied such as smooth, routered edges and “V” groove joints to enhance the overall look of the gate. All of our gates can be purchased online to the nearest inch or call our team for an exact width measurement.

The process

So you’ve picked your gate, selected your sizes and ordered it online (or over the phone)…what happens next? Something we are quite proud of (and our customers love!). Once a customer has ordered and paid for their gate they go into our notification system. Customers are notified on every step during the gate production process via email and/ or text message. This includes when it’s in being cut, put together, QC (quality control), finish and delivery. Each of our production departments have scanners. Once they scan a product, the customer is notified of the update immediately.

Delivery

If you’ve ordered a smaller gate, a one man delivery service is used. For larger gates, a two man service is used. In any case, the customer does not need to help during delivery as we have it covered. You’ll be given a delivery date and time slot closer to the time.

Stainless Steel Screws
Unlike others hidden stainless steel screws are used to attach cladding boards to gate. Most actually only use nails! Stainless steel is used to ensure screw does not rot over time.

Rebated Frame
Naturally, timber will shrink and expand throughout the seasons. Our framework has rebated edges allowing the cladding to shrink and expand without effecting the structure of the gate.

Mortice, Tenon & Dowel Joints
For ultimate strength and durability. Time served construction technique to provide a secure and long lasting gate frame.

Made to Measure
Size not listed? We can manufacture your gate to the exact millimeter! Unlike others there is no "bespoke service charge"...we simply price the gate to the nearest size listed.

Made in the UK
Every gate we sell is expertly crafted by hand in the UK by skilled crafts people. We invite customers to our factory to see the quality and care each gate receives during the manufacturing process.

Routered Edging
To enhance the look of every gate our expert joiners carefully router the edges to create a smooth finished edge.
