Commonly Asked Questions About Wooden Gates
Are wooden gates as strong as metal gates?
High quality wooden gates, when properly engineered, can be just as strong and durable as metal gates. Large timber gates with reinforced internal steel frames are particularly robust and resist sagging over time. Smaller gates like garden gates should be built in a way that increases strength, such as correct bracing, framing, adjustable hinges, rust proof fixings, high quality posts, and appropriate treatment. Metal gates may be better suited to very high traffic or exposed locations, but both materials offer excellent strength when designed correctly.
Can wooden gates be automated like metal gates?
Yes, wooden gates can be automated, provided they are designed and manufactured for automation from the outset. This includes reinforced rails and framing to manage the additional forces involved. Both wooden and metal gates can be automated, but correct gate design and professional installation are essential for safety and long term reliability. Find out more about our specialist gate automation services.
Do wooden gates warp or twist over time?
Poor quality timber gates may be prone to movement, but well constructed wooden gates use kiln dried and pressure treated timber, morticed and tenoned joints, and correct bracing to minimise twisting or warping. In addition, gates designed for automation or larger openings should include additional structural support to ensure long term stability.
Which is better for privacy, wooden or metal gates?
Wooden gates can generally provide greater privacy due to their solid construction, although slatted designs with less privacy are also popular. Metal gates tend to be more open and decorative, which may suit entrances where visibility is beneficial but privacy is less important.
Wooden Gates with Adjustable Hinges
Wooden gates naturally move over time. Changes in temperature and moisture cause timber to expand in winter and contract in summer, which can lead to gates dropping, sticking, or misaligning if they are not adjusted.
That is why our wooden gates are fitted with high quality adjustable hinges as standard. They allow you to fine-tune the position of your gate quickly and easily, helping it open and close smoothly throughout the year. In the short video, we show you exactly how simple it is to adjust your gate using our adjustable hinge system. You will see how a few minutes of routine maintenance can restore perfect alignment and smooth operation.
