WOODEN ELECTRIC GATE DESIGNS GALLERY
The UK Electric Gate Company Ltd wooden gate has been preferred by several generations of homes and businesses for entrance sections. It’s especially popular among homeowners as a wooden gate blends seamlessly into the surroundings, perfect for stopping young children and pets from running out of the garden and into the road. If your property has a garden by the entrance, you may want a sliding archtop wooden gate, but adding an arch top to your driveway gate is entirely up to you.

We also welcome clients who prefer not to have the wooden gate on their driveway treated so it could age and blend with the surroundings, especially with a garden.

HOW DO YOU SIZE A GATE?
Whether you want your simple gate design wood or metal, there are at least two things that need to be measured for gates. First, determine the opening for your driveway gate – the distance of the latch post from the hinge post. Then you measure the finish or the entire gate width. Common widths for driveway gates include 10, 12, 14, and 16 feet. Sizes could vary for every driveway, so bespoke gates are recommended, instead of buying conventional ones on sale like those from a garden centre.
