Frequently Asked Questions

What size options are available for composite garden gates?

We manufacture each gate to your exact height and width specifications. Typical garden pedestrian gates are commonly around 900mm to 1000mm wide, but we discuss exact measurements and tolerances with each customer before production to ensure a precise fit for your opening.

What type of latch or lock hardware can be fitted?

Composite garden gates can be supplied with a range of latch and lock options, including ring latches, lever latches, and key-operated locks. Let us know your preferred hardware style when ordering, and we will advise on compatibility with your chosen gate design.

Can these gates be hung left or right-handed?

Yes, our composite garden gates can be hung on either side of the opening to suit your requirements. Specify your preferred hanging direction when placing your order.

Can I use my existing gate posts?

This is often possible, provided your existing posts meet the necessary structural requirements for the weight and size of the gate. Contact us to check compatibility before ordering.

Why choose a metal frame with composite infill for a front garden gate?

A metal frame with composite infill panels combines the structural strength of steel or aluminium with the low-maintenance benefits of composite material. The metal frame provides rigidity and helps the gate keep its shape, while the composite panels offer a decorative wood-look finish without the need for regular painting, staining, or treatment.

What finishes and colours are available?

Metal frames are supplied with a galvanised undercoat and powder coating in any RAL colour. Popular finishes include matt black and anthracite grey. Standard supply is black, with other colours available on request.

Can I pair two pedestrian gates together as a double opening?

Yes, two matching composite pedestrian gates can be paired using the same design to create a wider garden entrance. Contact us with your total opening width to discuss sizing for a matched pair.

Are composite garden gates suitable for coastal or exposed locations?

Yes, we offer gate options suitable for coastal and exposed locations. Contact us to discuss your site conditions so we can recommend the most appropriate frame material and construction for your garden gate.

How do I maintain a composite garden gate?

Clean the composite panels and metal frame with a cloth or sponge and soapy water. Lubricate hinges periodically to keep them working smoothly. Composite infill does not require painting or staining.

Can a composite garden gate be automated?

Yes, swing automation kits can be added at the time of ordering or retrofitted later. The lighter weight of smaller pedestrian gates can make them well suited to automation; contact us to discuss suitable motor options for your gate size.
