Driveway gates

Pretty sure Clarkes at Walsham le Willows will do trad gates and posts in oak.

Try a google and phone call. Not much on the web site as such.

Dunno if they do oak, but Jacksons do some impressive gates. I know a few people who have used them and been very impressed.

We have one of their fences - pretty good stuff and virtually rot proof (I know of a few of their fences that have been up for >15 years and no sign of rot)

Might be worth getting a catalogue?

Where are you? I've had three gates made by a place in Hexham. Tannelised softwood but well constructed and none have dropped or had anything go wrong with them in not far short of 10 years. No hint of rot anywhere.

At impressive prices to!

My three gates (14' field, 6' and 4' side) came to less than the cost of just the field gate from Jacksons. All of my gates where made to fit the openings and to my design, not stock sizes and the opening made to fit the gate.

A neighbour had gates made and fitted by

LOL God only knows what you will think of the prices on the link that I sent then

Good grief what are they making them out of? I can't remember how much I= paid for our three gates but it was around =A3500.

Well, I made 5 bridle gates (each about 5') for my land about 5 years ago. I used oak from a friend who has a local timber yard (very reasonable prices). Each gate cost me approx £110 for the wood and fixings.

I think the prices include fitting The larger driveway gates are made of 4ins oak they look even more impressive in the flesh then on the web page, really beautifully made. They also give you work plans and specification drawings before you proceed with an order so a bit of a A Hall firm, but I cant knock the quality of the finished product. Oh they also exhibit at Chelsea flower show, so +25% snobs value.

For that price I hope it includes from cutting the sod to put the post/pillars in to final installation and 12 month check up. Gates do dr= op once installed, even the best made ones. Maybe not much 1/8" over 13' or= less but enough to require adjustment of the hinges.
