Benefits of Wooden Gates

  • Elegant and natural - real timber looks great in any setting, from period properties to modern builds.
  • Quality hardwoods - our timber is chosen for its strength and durability.
  • Solid, slatted or open designs - from full privacy to see-through to suit your property.
  • Treated for protection - our wood has been treated to stand up to the British weather and stay looking good.
  • Paint or stain to suit - whether you want to keep the natural grain or paint to match your home.
  • Substantial construction - our wooden gates are reassuringly secure and well made.
  • Age naturally for a silver tone - our wooden gates can be left to weather without staining.

FAQs

Wooden Gate Questions

Can’t find your answer? Ask Rory →

How long does it take to install electric wooden gates?

It depends on the groundwork, electrical connections, and gate configuration. Standard residential gate automation typically takes 2-3 days once any groundwork and electrical preparation is done. Larger custom systems, or extras like intercoms and access control, may take longer. We’ll give you a detailed schedule at the consultation.

Can I control my automated wooden gate remotely?

Absolutely. Our systems come with remote access options including smartphone integration, key fobs, and intercoms. With smart home connectivity you can open, close, and monitor your gate from anywhere using a mobile app.

What maintenance do wooden gates need?

Like any natural material, wood benefits from a little care. We’ll advise on the right treatment, and recommend re-treating or repainting every 5 years, or when needed, to keep it protected. You can allow wooden gates to go silver but once the desired look is achieved, you must reapply oil to extend the life of the gates.

We also recommend annual servicing of the automation, which includes lubricating moving parts, checking motor efficiency, testing safety sensors and updating system software. 

Are automated gates safe for children and pets?

Yes, all our automated gate systems include advanced safety features designed to prevent accidents and ensure secure operation. These include obstacle detection sensors, photocells, and force limitation technology to stop movement if an obstruction is detected. Additionally, we install all electric gates in compliance with UK safety regulations, ensuring they meet the latest industry standards for home security and automation.

Should I choose solid or slatted wooden gates?

It comes down to privacy. Solid gates give you complete screening from the road, while slatted designs let in light and give a glimpse through. We’ll help you pick the right balance for your property.

Do you offer 24/7 remote management?

Yes! A small dongle fitted inside your gate board lets us monitor your system’s health, check safety alarms and, if a device fails, operate the gate remotely using hold-to-run.

Which areas do you cover?

We’re based in Hampshire and install electric wooden gates across Surrey, London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. Not in one of these areas? Get in touch and tell us about your project. We’ll always let you know whether it’s something we can take on.
