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
wooden 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 wooden 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 wooden 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 wooden 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.
We can also make these as
electric sliding gates - just let us know at the time of our survey.
Since we manufacture our wooden 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 wooden driveway gate options below 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 them 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.
We aim to provide a top quality driveway gate service and with solid wooden driveway gates it is vital that strong posts are in place to support the weight of large gates. We will advice is existing posts are or are not suitable and also look at the incline of the ground in front and behind your gates to see if there are any potential issues which need to be considered when looking at the fixing points of the gates. Whilst you may like a certain driveway gate there are practical considerations such as the fixing posts and the steepness of the drive which is why sometimes a sliding wooden driveway gate provides the ideal solution.
When it comes to wooden driveway gates in Nottingham we have fitted an installed many over the years. Wooden driveway gates are the most common for access to a driveway and will often continue the theme or wood if you have wooden fencing in your front garden. Since the entrance width of a property varies so much there is never a standard space to fit a wooden driveway gate we can provide you with a wooden driveway gate to suit you. Whilst pre-made wooden driveway garden gates can be found in some DIY stores and gates stores they will typically be predetermined sizes in 300mm increments. One of the sizes may be suitable but please check first. When it comes to driveway gates due to the size and expense it makes sense to ensure that what you are ordering is going to fit. We can provide a no obligation sizing service to confirm what gate and posts would be suitable for your driveway, so if you find some pre-fabricated wooden driveway gates you like, we can confirm that size and that we will know that we can fit them prior to you ordering them to give you complete peace of mind or alternatively use our complete supply and fit driveway gate service.
