What size should I choose for a garden wooden gate?

Measure the width and height of the opening and allow a small clearance below the gate for ground movement and expansion. A precise fit avoids rubbing, binding or sagging.

How much does a wooden gate supplied and fitted cost in the UK?

The cost depends on timber type (softwood vs hardwood), size, hardware, and whether posts need replacement. A basic side-garden gate might cost a few hundred pounds, while a large driveway gate could be significantly more. Ask for a detailed quote.

Which timber is best for a durable wooden gate?

UK weather demands good material: pressure-treated softwood is cost-effective; hardwood gives higher durability and a premium finish. The timbre should be well-braced and treated with preservative.

Do I need planning permission for a new wooden gate?

Often not for a standard domestic gate, but if your property is in a conservation area or the gate opens onto a public highway, check with your local authority just in case.

How long will a fitted wooden gate last?

With quality timber, professional installation and yearly maintenance (checking posts, hinges, and treating wood), a well-made gate should serve reliably for many years.

Can I match the gate design to existing fencing or walls?

Yes, suppliers typically offer a range of styles (e.g., board-on-board, picket, horizontal slatted) and finishes so your gate complements your fence, house façade or driveway.

Why choose a fitted wooden gate

A professional wooden gate installer will help you select the right timber (often pressure-treated softwood or hardwood), measure the opening accurately, secure suitable posts, and fit hinges, latches and locks so your gate works smoothly and lasts.

The correct post depth, proper bracing and weather protection are all key.

Proper installation ensures your gate doesn’t sag, warp or drop over time – giving you both function and curb appeal.

What to expect from supply and fit
