When it comes to creating Hardwood Driveway Gates, you can’t beat the effects that Iroko produces. A beautiful, natural hardwood that’s elegant and smooth, highly durable and has a density level of 660kg/m3 making it an extremely strong and long lasting. Iroko is even used for canal locks proving its long lasting features. All of our hardwood driveway gates are expertly crafted by hand in the UK using time served construction techniques such as mortise, tennon and dowel jointed frames. This creates a truly stunning looking driveway gate that is designed to last for many years.
Available Sizes:
- Width: from 6ft (each side 3ft) to a massive 20ft (each side 10ft)
- Height: from 3ft to 7ft – taken to the highest point of the gate
- Made to Measure – all gates online can be purchased to the nearest inch, if you do require a more precise size, please contact us. (Unlike others – there is NO additional cost for bespoke, we simply base price on the next size!).
- Take three measurements between existing pillars or posts.
- Reduce the LOWEST size by 40mm (or approx 1.5″)
- That’s it! The size left after the reduction is the gate width required. Online, we offer gate width’s to the nearest inch, simply select the closest size (lower) from the drop down menu – or call to order for an exact width.
Please note: If no pillars or posts on there, measure the opening and reduce by 2 x posts. Gates up to 10ft wide should use 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″) posts, over 10ft use 150mm x 150mm (6″ x 6″) posts.
Measuring for Automated Gates: For above ground automation, rear hung on the back of the posts take the smallest measurement and reduce by 50mm (this will give you the actual gate size to order). For above ground automation, hung in the centre of the posts take the smallest measurement and reduce by 150mm (this will give you the actual gate size to order). For below ground automation, rear hung on the back of the posts take the smallest measurement and plus 20mm (this will give you the actual gate size to order). For below ground automation, rear hung in the centre of the posts take the smallest measurement and reduce by 240mm (this will give you the actual gate size to order).
Please note: Images are used to show the style of gate and have been computer generated. A Sample of wood used in construction is available on request. Width advertised is total width of gate. For example, if you select a width of 9ft, you will receive 2 leafs at 4ft 6″. Height is taken to the highest point of gate. Rear view design can differ from image shown depending on the width of gate and/ or height.
