Timber gates

Garden and driveway gates in timber

We supply wooden gates in all shapes and sizes, for any property and any requirement, and all of them are British made and built. Whether you need a gate for your driveway entrance or for your garden, we design, manufacture and install a bespoke wooden gate for you.

Wooden gates are good for security and privacy: made with closed boards, they stop anyone looking in on your property. They are a beautiful addition to any home, and the timber ages well, so your gates keep looking good as the years go by.

Custom wooden gates

No two properties are the same, so we work directly with you on every wooden gate we make. We take accurate measurements so your gate fits perfectly, and every detail can be customised, from the size and style to the timber. We work in hardwood and softwood to suit every budget, and your gates can be painted a colour of your choice or left unpainted for a natural look.

Driveway gates and garden gates

A wooden driveway gate adds kerb appeal and security to the front of your home, while a garden gate secures a side path or rear garden. For garden gates we usually suggest manual operation, and a reliable set of gates is especially useful if you have young children.

Care, automation and guarantee

Wooden gates need more maintenance than their metal counterparts, as they are more susceptible to damage and wear. With regular maintenance, though, our wooden gates will last a lifetime, and we offer a repair service if required.

Electric wooden gates

Many homeowners choose to upgrade a wooden gate from manual to electric. An electric gate opens and closes at the touch of a button, so you don't have to handle a large gate yourself, and you can open a driveway gate without getting out of your car. All of our wooden gates are available with electric operation.

Every wooden gate comes with our 12-month guarantee on labour and parts. Choose a design from the Heritage range below, or see more of our work in the gallery.

  • Hardwood & softwood
  • Closed boards for privacy
  • Painted or natural
  • Manual or electric

Our wooden gates are designed and fabricated entirely in house, and once your gate is made we make sure it is correctly fitted. Our carpentry team fabricates each timber gate in our workshop to your requirements, so the finished gate suits your property rather than a standard size.

Red-toned hardwood driveway gates with an arched top and open spindles

Lulworth wooden gates

These Lulworth-style driveway gates are made in a rich red-toned hardwood. The arched top has open spindles, and the solid lower panels carry diagonal braces. Heavy galvanised hinges and a drop bolt fix them to brick piers, giving a traditional estate look.

Wooden double gates painted sage green with open spindles along the top

Kimmeridge painted gates

Painted in a soft sage green, this pair of Kimmeridge gates has close boarding below and a row of open spindles along the top. A ring handle sits at the centre, and each leaf hangs on square timber posts. Painting the timber lets the gates match a house's colour scheme.

Grey weathered timber double gates with a curved top between brick piers

Weathered timber gates

Left to weather naturally, the timber on these double gates has turned a silvery grey. The top edge sweeps down to the centre and the bottom rises in a matching curve. A ring pull and a drop bolt keep them closed between old red brick piers.

Driveway gates with vertical timber boards inside a dark grey metal frame

Timber-clad gates

Vertical timber boards are set inside a dark grey metal frame on this pair of driveway gates. The mix gives the warmth of wood with the strength of a steel surround. A lever handle sits at the centre, and a video doorbell is mounted on the wall beside.
