How to Measure:

Calculating the actual width required of a wooden driveway gate is easy…just follow these simple steps below.

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.

Gate opening example for 3/4 split driveway gates 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.

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.

To determine what clearance is needed to calculate gate width, you must decide how the gate will open. The first example is by far the most popular set up.

FIGURE 1: (most popular set up)

Gates to open towards driveway. Hinge plates mounted to rear face of post/ pillar. Back edge of gate sits flush with the back edge of post/ pillar.

REDUCE 40mm (approx. 1.5″) from your lowest measurement.

Please note: Example shows smaller gate to the right side but this can be either side. Simply select the size from the drop down area on the gate design you have chosen.

FIGURE 2:

Gates to open towards driveway. Hinge plates mounted to inside face of post/ pillar. Front edge of gate sits flush with the front edge of post/ pillar.

REDUCE 150mm (6″) from your lowest measurement.

FIGURE 3:

Gates to open outwards toward roadside. Hinge plates mounted to outside front face of post/ pillar. Front edge of gate sits flush with the front edge of post/ pillar. This is a good set up to do if your driveway space is limited. If your gate opens over a public footpath, please check with your local council if permission is required.

REDUCE 40mm (1.5″) from your lowest measurement.

FIGURE 4:

Gates to open outwards toward roadside. Hinge plates mounted to side face of post/ pillar. Back edge of gate sits flush with the front edge of post/ pillar. This is a good set up to do if your driveway space is limited. If your gate opens over a public footpath, please check with your local council if permission is required.

REDUCE 150mm (6″) from your lowest measurement.

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.

FRAMED	3″ x 3″ (70mm x 70mm) – Mortise, tennon & dowel jointed
REAR BRACING	3″ x 2″ (70mm x 47mm)
CLADDING	T, G and V, 19mm Deep x 125mm Wide (nominal)
FIXINGS	Stainless Steel Screws

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. Feel free to call us and arrange alternative dates if needed.

The gate will arrive extremely well wrapped. ALL packaging used is fully recyclable so please dispose of this correctly.

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.
