Yes, all our gates are made to measure within certain size restrictions.
Our close boarded gates have tongue and groove boarding fitted into them meaning you cannot see through the boarding. In an open boarded gate the tongue and groove boarding is replaced by timber infill with gaps of no more than 2″ (50mm) between each piece of timber infill meaning that the gates can be seen through.

We do not recommend using butt hinges to hang your garage doors due to the greater weight of these compared to say front doors. Also in the main garage doors open out and if hung using butt hinges and the wind was to catch the doors then in all probability the door would be ripped off the frame. It is recommended that you use band and gudgeon hinges to hang your doors.
If you can let us have a sketch or picture of the design you require then we are happy to take a look at it for you. For more information on the details require please see our bespoke gate page .
