Wooden Gates
Our wooden domestic gates remain one of our most popular choices for homeowners looking to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern security.
Each gate is manufactured using premium softwood or hardwood and built with strong mortice and tenon joints to provide exceptional durability and structural strength. Rear bracing adds further stability, ensuring your gates continue to perform reliably through years of daily use.
Every gate is made to measure in our workshop, allowing us to create the perfect fit for your driveway regardless of width or height. Matching pedestrian gates are also available to create a seamless entrance for your property.
Wooden gates can be supplied as either manual or fully automated domestic electric gates, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of timber alongside the convenience of modern gate automation.
Our timber gate options offer:
- Softwood and hardwood choices
- Bespoke sizing
- Traditional and contemporary styles
- Manual or automated operation
- Matching pedestrian gates
- High-quality craftsmanship
- Long-lasting durability
Whether you’re looking to improve security or create a welcoming entrance, timber remains a timeless choice for electric gates for homes.
Metal Framed Gates
Our metal-framed domestic electric gates combine outstanding strength with attractive contemporary design.
Constructed using galvanised steel frames with either hardwood, softwood or composite infills, these gates offer excellent durability while maintaining an elegant appearance. Every steel component is hot-dip galvanised before being powder coated to maximise corrosion resistance and ensure years of low-maintenance performance.
Powder coating is available in any British Standard RAL colour, making it easy to coordinate your new gates with your property’s windows, doors, garage doors or fencing.
These gates are available as both manual and fully automated systems, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a secure, long-lasting entrance solution.
Benefits include:
- Galvanised steel construction
- Powder-coated finish
- Wide range of RAL colours
- Hardwood, softwood or composite infills
- Exceptional structural strength
- Low maintenance
- Manual or automated options
For homeowners seeking a balance between durability, security and appearance, steel-framed domestic gates provide an excellent long-term investment.
Aluminium Gates
Aluminium has quickly become one of the most popular materials for domestic electric gates, offering homeowners an attractive, durable and virtually maintenance-free solution.
Unlike timber, aluminium won’t rot, warp or crack over time, making it ideal for the British climate. Despite its lightweight construction, aluminium is incredibly strong and provides outstanding resistance to corrosion, ensuring reliable performance year after year.
Available in a wide variety of colours, finishes and styles, aluminium gates can be designed to complement both traditional and modern properties while providing excellent security and convenience.
Advantages of aluminium gates include:
- Lightweight yet incredibly strong
- Minimal maintenance
- Rust and corrosion resistant
- Modern appearance
- Wide range of colours and finishes
- Long service life
- Ideal for automated systems
If you’re looking for stylish electric gates for homes that require very little ongoing maintenance, aluminium is an excellent choice.
