These are tough gates which unlike many, are screwed together rather than nailed. The braces are sealed to try and eliminate water ingress behind the boards.
These gates are only suitable as single gates, and are only suitable up to a maximum of about 48 inches.

How To Measure your gate
Please note that to obtain the right calculation; it is the height you require at the hinge side that must be used. (Note: all gates have “horns” which rise 2” above the top rail of the gate”) And with certain styles of gate i.e. Swan Neck or Gunstock Double gates, they rise/fall by 12”/6” respectively.
The width required is the gap you want to fill. If you are ordering battens or posts, we will deduct this off the measurement you provide.
When ordering, we will unless requested otherwise reduce the width of any gate by 1” and height by 1” to enable the gate to be fitted properly. It is important that these gaps are present to allow the gate to swell during humid weather.
If you have more specific requirements, for example, you require a gate to be an “Actual” Size (where we will not deduct for expansion/clearances) or a bespoke gate. Please call Steve or Debbie on 01948 841844
Double Sided Gates
A double sided gate has panels on both sides.
Wall Mounting Battons
Battons allow your gate to be attached to a brick wall or pillar.
