Composite 3/4 Split Driveway Gates

A 3/4 split driveway gate divides the opening into two unequal leaves — a small leaf for everyday foot traffic and a larger leaf that stays shut until a vehicle needs to come through — closing the whole opening with full privacy while avoiding the centre post a standard pair needs. It’s built to measure, in a choice of board tones and any RAL colour for the frame. Call 02089116000 for a free quote, or read on to see if it suits your driveway.

Why Choose a 3/4 Split

Letting yourself in on foot through a standard 50/50 gate pair still means swinging open a full-width leaf every time. With a 3/4 split, the small leaf handles daily foot traffic on its own, while the large leaf only opens for the car. It also avoids fitting a separate pedestrian gate next to the driveway entrance, which would mean a second post, a second foundation and another gap in the boundary to secure — everything stays within one opening instead.

Full Privacy, Daily Wear

Because both leaves are fully boarded rather than open bar work, a 3/4 split composite gate gives complete privacy across the entrance, with the small leaf taking the bulk of the daily use. Composite boards handle that repeated opening and closing without the swelling or sticking a timber leaf would eventually develop at its hinges.

Any Design, Split to Suit

Any design across our range can be built as a 3/4 split, with the pattern continuing proportionally across both leaves. Straight, flat-topped patterns split the most cleanly, since the design simply continues at a different width on each side. If a split configuration doesn’t suit your opening, our standard composite driveway gates in a 50/50 pair keep both leaves symmetrical, or our composite bi-fold gates offer another way to manage a tighter site.

Locking and Automation

The small and large leaves are fitted with independent locks as standard, so the pedestrian leaf can be used and secured without unlocking the whole gate. This also means the small leaf can be automated on its own for daily use, while the large leaf stays manual and only opens for vehicles.

Choosing Your Split

The ratio between the two leaves is your choice. Most customers find a small leaf wide enough for one person to walk through comfortably, with the larger leaf making up the rest of the opening. Tell us your total width and how the gate will be used day to day and we’ll suggest a split that works in practice.

Colours and Board Finishes

Board colours run from light, natural timber tones through to dark charcoal and anthracite, with the frame available in whichever RAL shade suits the rest of your property.
