COMPOSITE BI-FOLD DRIVEWAY GATES – THE WESTGATE:
Eco friendly composite bi-fold driveway gate. Constructed from 60% bamboo (FSC 100% Certified) and 40% recycled High Density Polyethylene, environmentally gentle bonding agent, additives and tint. Saving these materials from landfill, giving them value and recycling them into a long life product, provides a harmonious solution to sustainable living all set within a deep metal box frame using UK steel to produce an extremely durable and low maintenance gate. If you would like to order a free sample set of our composite cladding, please see here.nnNot only are composite bi-fold driveway gates better for the environment, you’ll never have to worry about staining or treating it ever again…just simply hose the gate down!
Working out the required gate size:To work out the size of the gates take the opening width you have (between pillars/posts) and deduct the following to allow for hinges. This is assuming the gates are to be opening inwards.
3 x leafs minus 60mm from opening size
4 x leafs minus 70mm from opening size
5 x leafs minus 80mm from opening size
6 x leafs minus 90mm from opening size
The above measurements allow 20mm clearance between the edge of gate and post/pillars, 10mm between 2 leafs attached with a strap hinge and 10mm for the clearance in the middle of the gates (where the two gates close in the middle).
