Composite Garden Gates
If you love the look of a traditional wooden garden gate but not the staining, swelling and rot that comes with it, a composite garden gate gives you the same warm, natural appearance on a metal frame that asks for far less of that upkeep. Every gate is made to measure in the UK, low maintenance, and available in any RAL colour for the frame alongside a range of wood-effect board tones. Ring 02089116000 for a free quote, or read on for help choosing a style.
The Wooden Gate Look, Without the Wooden Gate Problems
Timber garden gates swell shut in winter, dry out and crack in summer, and need staining or painting every couple of years just to stay presentable. Composite boards keep the grain, texture and warmth of real wood without moving, splitting or fading in the same way, and they sit against damp hedging, soil and planting without the rot that eventually claims a timber gate at ground level.
Styles for Every Garden
Because every gate is built to order, our full range of designs is available at garden scale — from full-privacy boarded panels to open slat patterns, and for period properties, traditional metalwork such as scrollwork or finials set above a solid composite body.
Full-Privacy and Slatted Composite Garden Gates
A fully boarded gate gives complete privacy from the street or a neighbouring garden, while horizontal or vertical slat spacing lets in light and glimpses of the garden beyond while still marking a clear boundary.
Traditional Metalwork Over Composite Boards
Decorative ironwork sitting above a solid composite panel brings period character to a modern, low-upkeep gate — a combination you won’t find on ready-made panel systems, since it relies on the metal frame being fabricated to order rather than assembled from fixed parts.
Match Your Garden Gate to Your Driveway
The same design can run from your driveway gates through to your garden boundary, so the whole property reads as one considered scheme rather than a mix of styles bought separately. Composite garden gates pair naturally with matching composite side gates for the passage beside the house, and with our aluminium garden gates if you’d rather have the metal look throughout instead.
Planning Permission for Garden Gates
Worth knowing before you order: a gate or fence next to a road generally needs planning permission once it’s over a metre tall, and the threshold is usually around two metres elsewhere on the property — with tighter rules again in conservation areas. We’ll build to whatever height you specify, so it’s worth a quick check with your local authority first if the gate faces the street.
Colours and Board Finishes
Board tones typically range from natural oak and warm teak through to charcoal and anthracite, so you can choose anything from a light, natural wood look to a dark, contemporary finish. The metal frame can be powder coated in any RAL colour, matched to the boards or contrasted against them.
Made to Measure
Garden openings are rarely a standard size, and boundary walls and posts are rarely perfectly straight. Send us your measurements and we’ll build the gate to the actual gap, with the board and frame proportions scaled correctly for your size.

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.
