Why Choose Wooden Gates?

Crafted from Premium Hardwood

We use only the highest-quality timber, carefully selected to ensure strength, stability, and lasting beauty:

Top-grade hardwood for durability and elegance
Well-seasoned to prevent warping or cracking
Ethically sourced from sustainable forests

All fittings are robust, engineered to handle the demands placed on automated wooden gates.

Finishes That Protect and Enhance

Your wooden gates can be finished in a way that both complements your property and prolongs the life of the timber:

Staining – A matt finish that highlights the natural grain
Lacquering – A gloss finish that enriches colour and depth
Painting – Long-lasting, weather-resistant coatings in any colour

We can also offer synthetic wood-effect gates, which mimic the look of real timber but require minimal maintenance.Timeless
