Garden & Driveway Gates in Eversley

A garden gate needs to work comfortably every day as well as look right. We build and fit timber side, garden, driveway and field gates, considering the opening width, direction of swing and adjoining fence style.

Matching the board pattern, height and finish gives the boundary a consistent appearance. Solid timber designs add screening, while a field gate serves a different purpose; we discuss the use before selecting the gate.

Gate posts carry weight and repeated movement, so their size and installation matter. We set suitable posts, hang the gate square and choose hinges and a latch that fit the gate and how the entrance is used.

For double driveway and field gates, heavier posts and ironmongery support the wider opening. Drop bolts, slam plates and lockable latches can be specified where needed, with clearance checked across the gate’s movement.

Dragging, sticking or poor latching can be caused by a moving post, worn hinge or insufficient clearance. We inspect those points before suggesting a new gate, and can re-set posts or renew appropriate hardware.

Where the frame or boards are beyond a useful repair, we can quote for a replacement gate to suit the opening. The visit also checks the nearby fence so the new gate has sound support.
