If you are looking for something special or a gate to complement the immediate surroundings wooden gates offer a great solution. Our gallery shows only a small selection gate designs available so please contact for more examples.
As well as specifying new gates it is often possible to automate existing wooden gates - so long as they are in good condition and have been constructed correctly - please contact us to arrange for a free site survey.
Construction
Our wooden electric gates are manufactured to the highest standard by skilled craftsmen using traditional hand made construction methods.
All gates are ‘ledged and braced’ with ‘mortise and tenon’ joints, all joints are spirit treated prior to assembly.
Finish Treatment
2 to 3 coats of good quality finish stain such as Sikkens or Sadolin. Alternatively, we
can apply an oiled finish such as Danish, Tung or Teak Oil.
Special colours are available upon request – please supply the RAL or BS colour reference number/description.
Design Style
There are traditional and contemporary design styles available, but if you are looking for that something special – let us know – we specialise in bespoke designs.
Our wooden gates are made from joinery grade hardwood and softwood species, sourced from certificated sustainable sources
Wood Species
- West African Mahogany
- Hardwood
- Iroko – hardwood
- Scandinavian Redwood
- Softwood
Wind Loading
If this is the case with your gate entrance you may wish to consider ways to mitigate or avoid the the risk of potential damage or failure caused by high wind loading situations.
For instance, you may wish to revise the design of the gate to include open pales, perhaps you may wish to change to a steel gate with open rails or even consider having a sliding gate system.
Consideration of which make and model of operator will need to be taken into 
account.
Some of our established customers living in an exposed location have opted to have their large timber swing gates held open with heavy duty metal stays until the the windy conditions abate.
It is usual for solid timber gates to use the more powerful hydraulic piston type operators as offered by companies such as FAAC and Came as these perform better with the forces potentially experienced with solid timber gates in windy conditions. Very large timber gates have been installed with 2 operators each side for maximum efficiency and safety.
More open designs in timber such as the gates shown below can easily be installed with underground operator units and in many cases need to be so as not to spoil the beautiful 
designs in the gate.
