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. 

  • *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?

    FINISH OPTIONS

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

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.

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.

WOODEN SLIDING GATES

The Beauty of Redwood Pine

Redwood pine is known for its stunning natural beauty. It has a rich, warm color with prominent grain patterns that add elegance and charm to any gate. Its aesthetic appeal often enhances the overall look of the property. It is a durable wood, especially when properly treated and maintained. It has natural resistance to decay, rot, and insect damage, making it ideal for outdoor applications such as gates. With the right finish and care, a redwood pine gate can last for many years.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Redwood pine is a sustainable option. It is harvested from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that new trees are planted to replace those used. Choosing redwood pine for your gate helps support sustainable forestry practices.

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.
