Made to measure and braced so they still close squarely in five years - matching your fence, not fighting it.
A gate is where a lot of fencing jobs fail later - sagging, scraping the path, or swinging into soft posts. We measure the opening properly, hang on posts that can take the weight, and brace timber gates so they stay square.
We supply and fit closeboard, tongue-and-groove and field gates for gardens, side access, driveways and paddocks across Ely and Cambridgeshire.
Yes, we make gates to measure. Off-the-shelf widths rarely fit real openings - we measure, allow for hinges and clearance, then build or order to suit.
Yes. We measure the opening, allow for hinges and ground clearance, and make or order the gate to fit. Off-the-shelf widths rarely match real openings exactly.
A single gate suits side access and pedestrian openings. Double gates (or a wide single) suit driveways. Choice depends on opening width, swing space into the drive or garden, and whether vehicles need to pass.
Timber matches garden fencing and is our usual domestic choice. Metal can be stronger for wide driveway openings and higher security. We mainly supply and fit timber garden, side and field gates - ask if you need metal.
Mostly poor bracing, undersized posts, or hinges that were never set to carry the weight. A properly braced gate on solid posts should still close squarely years later.
