Haverhill Composite Driveway Gate

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.

Option 1: Gate hanging on the rear of posts/ pillars. Main advantage of this set up is the reduced gap that is visible between the gate edge and post.

To calculate gate width: Take the lowest measurement and reduce by 50mm (2″).

Option 2: Gate mounted between existing posts/ pillars.

To calculate gate width: Take the lowest measurement and reduce by 150mm (6″).

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.
