Made-to-Measure Wooden Gates

Gate Control designs, manufactures and installs wooden gates for homes, driveways, estates and commercial entrances. Timber is a popular choice where privacy, natural character and a traditional appearance are important.

Gates can be made to measure around the width, style and practical needs of the entrance, with options for manual or fully automated operation. We can also integrate intercoms, keypads, remote controls and other access control systems.

Our wooden gates are available in a range of styles, from solid privacy gates to more open designs that retain visibility through the entrance.

Wooden Gates for Homes and Businesses

Residential Wooden Gates

Wooden gates are well suited to driveways, gardens, side entrances and shared residential access points. They can improve privacy, define the property boundary and add a warmer appearance than metal-only gate designs.

Commercial Wooden Gates

For commercial sites where appearance matters as much as access control, wooden gates can create a more welcoming entrance while still providing a secure physical barrier.

Gates can be designed around staff, visitor and delivery access, with automation and access control specified to suit the way the entrance is used.

Automated Wooden Gates and Access Control

Wooden gates can be supplied with manual or automatic operation, depending on the size, weight, construction and layout of the entrance.

Access control options include audio and video intercoms, keypads, key fobs, remote controls and mobile phone entry. These can be configured around residents, visitors, staff or regular deliveries.

Some existing wooden gates can also be automated, provided the gate leaves, posts and hinges are structurally suitable. A site survey will confirm whether an upgrade is practical.

Wooden Gate Maintenance

Timber gates need periodic care to protect the surface and reduce movement caused by weather exposure. The level of maintenance depends on the timber, finish, location and how exposed the gate is to rain and sunlight.

Regular checks should also cover the hinges, posts, locks and automation equipment. Gate Control can provide ongoing gate servicing for both manual and automated installations.

Are wooden gates suitable for driveways?
