Wooden gates

Here at the Iron gate company we are a one stop gate shop as well metal gates we also make wooden soft wood gates

The Wooden gates we make are Tongue and Groove Ledge and Brace gates
our gates are all made from Vth grade Scandinavian redwood we use PSE  timber (planed square edge) for the frame- we use 4 x 2 for the cross braces and 2 x 2 for uprights and braces as shown in the photo below:

the cladding to the front of these gates is from ex 19mm tongue and groove boards notice this is ex 19 which means the finished size after planing is around 15mm

All joints on this style of gate a butt jointed which basically means the joints are butted together then screwed together this is an efficient and cost effective joint that does the job and is not labor intensive which is ideal for this type of wooden gate - a cheap way of closing a gap that gives privacy security and looks good without spending a small fortune.

we make these as a single gate or a driveway gate from following these links you can purchase directly from our store  we have a wide range of sizes and other options such as a bow top or complete with fittings ready to hang them

we finish our gates in a solvent based water proofing timber treatment we decided to use this instead of tanalising due to the fact that our treatment seals and repels water cutting down on swelling which is an inherent problem with soft wood gates

we do plan in the near future to bring you a range of hardwood gates so keep your eyes peeled
