Made-to-measure timber gates

Made-to-measure timber gates installed in Bristol.

01Can you make a timber gate for an unusual opening?
Yes. A made-to-measure gate is often the right solution for a narrow, wide, sloping or non-standard opening. We measure the usable space, check the swing and design the gate around the site.
02Do you install timber driveway gates?
Yes. We install made-to-measure timber gate pairs after checking the opening width, vehicle access, swing space, levels, posts and the condition of any adjoining walls.
03Can a timber gate match my existing fence?
Usually. Board direction, spacing, height and general style can be coordinated with the adjoining fence, subject to the condition and availability of the existing materials.
04How much does a made-to-measure timber gate cost in Bristol?
Price depends on the opening, gate size and construction, timber, posts, hinges, latch and any adjoining fence work. We measure the site and quote the complete fitted gate rather than separating out essential supports and ironmongery.
05Can you replace the posts as well as the gate?
Yes. We inspect existing posts, walls and fencing before recommending reuse. A new gate needs supports that are sound, correctly positioned and suitable for its weight and daily use.
06Which way should a garden gate open?
The safest and most practical direction depends on the path, steps, boundaries, public pavement, available swing and how the entrance is used. We check those constraints during the survey before agreeing the hinge side.
