Whilst not all driveways will require a driveway gate there are many that will, depending on the location and aesthetics and privacy you want to create at the entrance of your property.
Nottingham Fencing pride ourselves on offering a complete
composite driveway gate supply and install service, which includes integrating gates into the existing wall or fence, so that your driveway gates blend in seamlessly with their surrounding, or alternatively contrast in such a way to provide an impactful statement.
Your decision on composite driveway gates will largely be dependent on your personal preference and budget. The budget may also be heavily influenced by what you currently have or don't have regarding your driveway entrance. For driveway gates which will be very heavy items the posts to which the driveway gates are attached too need to be strong and ridged and this additional weight will also need to be borne by a respective fence or wall to which the driveway posts are attached to. Depending on what you have and also depending on space and slop of your driveway an alternative to having strong post fixings is to opt for a
sliding composite driveway gate as most of the gates weight will be on the wheels attached to the bottom of the gate which will run along a rail. Sliding composite driveway gates are also a good option if space is tight in terms of a traditional gate opening inwards or outwards requiring the space for the driveway gate to swing out. For a sliding gate there simply needs to be space along from the driveway opening to slide behind an existing fence or wall.
Driveway gates are following the same trend we are experiencing for both decking and fencing with more and more people exploring the option of composite driveway gates with a view that they will need minimum maintenance and will last for many many years.
Whilst the bulk of a
composite driveway gate will be made up of composite material the composite itself will need containing. This is typically done using a powder coated metal frame which keeps all the composite boards in place. Normally this will be black which goes well with almost any composite gate colour and allows for additional designs to be added to the top of the gate should you wish. With composite driveway gates these can come in a variety of designs such as arches as well as the traditional rectangular option.
Grey Composite Driveway Gates with additional locks
Since we manufacture our composite driveway gates we can adjust sizes and create additional opening space if you wish to widen you driveway entrance. This can allow more space to make entering your property easier especially if you have a need to bring in wider vehicles into your property. We have a selection of composite driveway gate options but in this day and age if you find something on a website or social media platform such as Pinterest which you would like then please share this with us. Even if you find a site which provide these driveway gates pre-made we would strongly recommend arranging a measure up with us up BEFORE ordering them as many people won't appreciate the practicalities of fitting a driveway gate and how the posts, opening direction and ground slope can effect whether you end up with driveway gates which simply don't open properly, catch on the ground or severely impede you vision when entering or existing your property. To complete the consistency of gates in your property we can match you driveways gates to composite side garden gates and if all done at the same time it will work out cheaper overall for you. If you want to add a little more sophistication to your composite gates then what about operation by remote control we can make and install composite automatic driveway gates too.
