Each wooden gate design is a product of collaboration with our customers. Tailor-made to fit the property, our gates are created with the customers’ requirements in mind, from preferred details to the mechanisms and frames, to the class of timber our customers want, be it softwoods like Scandinavian redwood and cedar, or hardwoods like Idigbo.

CHOOSE BETWEEN A SWING OR SLIDING ELECTRIC WOODEN GATE SYSTEM

When you want your gates wooden, the access or the mechanism is another thing to consider. You have a choice between sliding gates and swing gates, aside from deciding on whether to use hardwood or softwood types for the timber details of the gates. Whether they be swing gates or gates sliding to one side, our wooden electric gates expert will look into your case and area with your security as priority in mind and help you pick the systems that will be more convenient, more practical and can provide you with more safety.

SWING GATES

Swing gates have the popular opening and closing mechanism that most traditional gates have. They’re perfect for areas with much space and can have just one leaf or door that swings open to one side or have two doors that swing open at the centre. You have the option of having swing gates that open outward or ones that open inward.

SLIDING GATES

Unlike electric swing gates, sliding ones are better for limited spaces. They’re more secure than swing gates as they’re already set or secured firmly in a track and all that’s needed to be done is to have motors that run in a way that the door of the sliding gate simply glides or is pushed sideways, and once you’re inside, only then will the door move back into position. If you want a unit that operates faster than the conventional ones that rely heavily on hinges, electric sliding gates are for you. Our family-run business would be happy to help you.
