All you need to know about my gates

All gates are made to order to exactly fit your requirements and your space.

The range is wide, from standard gates made from aluminium tubing  to decorative gates incorporating corten steel panels depicting cut outs of your choice. From louvred and slat gates that offer increased privacy to long lasting rural style gates to enhance your countryside property. All made from durable, lightweight aluminium. For more information and visuals of what is possible check out the information below. And of course if your have any questions or want to  get the ball rolling please do get in touch.

Types of gates

Double swing gates. These can be symmetrical ie: half and half or different proportions 2/3 – 1/3 or 3/4 – 1/4 etc. Mounted on plate hinges with adjustable sockets

Single swing. Mounted on plate hinges with adjustable sockets

Sliding gates. Roll on low profile track via recessed wheels

Pedestrian gates. Comes standard with self closing hinges and a key lockable latch.

Posts

 I can supply heavy duty metal gate posts should you require replacements or if starting from scratch.

These can be either:

100 x100 x 5mm aluminium or
100 x 100 x 4mm galvanized steel
Both would be powdercoated in your choice of colour.

They both have a nice radius to the edge making for a softer look and feel.

Standard Gates

There are a number of design variations within the standard gate range including horizontal rails, single and double curved top, internal curves within the frame. These can be customised to suit whatever you would like and is practical.

These are gates that are made from square tube for the frame and round tube for the uprights.

Standard frame sizes are:

  •  40 x 40 x 3
  • 50 x 50 x 3

I tend to use a heavier wall thickness than some which makes for a more robust gate. All square tube has a radius corner which is more asthectically pleasing and is nicer to handle.

Standard upright tube size is:

  • 19mm x 1.42

I can also use 20 x 1.6mm or 22mm and 25mm.

These gates are available in:

  • Double swing
  • Single swing
  • Sliding
  • Pedestrian

Decorative Gates

Decorative laser cut panels that can be incorporated into a gate frame can add huge appeal and a point of difference to your property. These are proving to be a very popular option currently.

 I have a number of designs that already exist and that I've used in previous jobs but the options are endless as to whats possible. I work with a very skilled designer who can do amazing things such as convert a photo or image you may have into a file that can be cut from the following materials:

  • Aluminium sheet
  • Corten steel - designed to rust but not rust away.

 A very effective way to make it pop is to have contrasting colors from the frame to the panel.

Louvered Gates

Louvred gates are an elegant and stylish yet functional gate giving full privacy yet allowing wind to pass through the louvre blades 

These gates are available in:

  •  Double swing
  • Single swing
  • Sliding 
  • Pedestrian 

Rural Styled Gates

Traditional timber gates which don't last forever with the warping and twisting nature of timber can be replicated in aluminium to be functional and pleasing to the eye in a rural setting.

Aluminium Slat Gates

Another way to have stylish gates that offer a sense of privacy is to have aluminium slat gates. The slats can be mounted vertically or horizontally. I recommend having a small gap of 10mm between the slats to let wind pass through. The design I use is to recess the slats within the gate frame giving a clean look.

 

Slat size options

  • 65mm x 16mm
  • 90mm x 16mm

 

These gates are available in:

Double swing

  • Single swing
  • Sliding
  • Pedestrian
