Once the order is approaching completion we will request final payment. Delivery is then arranged once we have received final payment.

Upon receipt of any order then an full order confirmation is sent out (this will follow the auto  generated email that you receive immediately after placing an order). 

This order confirmation email gives you a chance to double check sizes and for us to confirm final  details. 

Once an order is received you will receive a ‘completion week’ within your order confirmation  email. Once the gate is ready for despatch we will contact you to arrange a suitable day for delivery, we do not just send the completed gates out and hope for the best! 

Deliveries are Tuesdays-Fridays only, excluding any Bank Holidays/Public Holidays. 

Where possible we try and use a dedicated van for deliveries so like to try and group several  deliveries within the same area on the same day, but we do also use Nationwide carriers as well. 

For deliveries further afield we will ship on a carrier.

We do not supply automation systems with our doors, for doors that are being automated you  should source a trained gate automater as it is not a fit and forget install, it is also impossible to  supply a gate automation system without the automater first doing a site survey. 

Doors once automated are legally classed as a machine and need testing (and signing off as being  safe) after install and every 12 months after.

For clearances on installs that are being automated, recommended door frame sizes and  hinge/ironmongery requiremnts then your gate automater should advise as different systems have  different specs and requirements. 

All our doors can be manufactured to suit automation. If intending to automate then please contact  us for more information

Three generations of time served craftsman…

We’re a small family run company, who come from a long line of carpenters and joiners, you could say it’s in our blood.

Based in Rhyl, on the beautiful North Wales coast we produce made to measure wooden gates, side hung wooden garage doors and general joinery items. We began making our own range of gates and garage doors back in 1989, but our business is based on decades of carpentry and joinery expertise that stretches back over three generations. Our work today is still based on the teaching, techniques and craftsmanship of our forefathers.

All you need to supply us with at this stage to get a price/proceed with an order is the structural  opening height & width. 

If you just have a brickwork opening with no frame in place then just measure the opening width (in three places – top, middle & bottom) and use the smallest measurement. Posts can be added as you  travel through the steps to order your gates. Keep a note on all three measurements. 

You have a frame in place – again measure the opening width in three places (top, middle &  bottom) and use the smallest measurement. Again keep a note of all three measurements however. 

Oak framed garages – In most cases you do not need a door frame, however be aware that a frame  may be need if you have a brick skirting/plinth around the framing at floor level. This  skirting/plinth will in a lot of cases interfere with position of bottom hinge so in this instance a door  frame would be used. 

Clearances – At this stage do not worry about clearances on your gates in width. Clearances will  vary depending on how you intend to hang the gates and once an order is received we will contact  you to discuss this.

We use 5 timbers –  

Unsorted Scandinavian Redwood (Softwood)  – Manufactured from Unsorted Grade Scandinavian Redwood. This is a better grade of softwood than either 5ths or 6ths and is visually sorted for both  smaller and fewer knots which in turn make for stronger timber. All our Scandinavian Redwood products are supplied preservative treated.
Density 510 kg/m3

Meranti (Hardwood) 
Density 660 – 710 kg/m3
*Density can vary 20% or more*

Idigbo (Hardwood) 
560 kg/m3
*Density can vary 20% or more*

A1 Accoya (Modified Softwood) – Very much the best of the best and the most long lasting comercially used timber.  Doesn’t absorb water so doesn’t rot and any movement (shrinkage/expansion) is minimal. So good that Accsys technologies guarantee it against rot for 50 years! Whilst it is a costly timber, its enhanced performance and longevity may justify the investment in certain applications.
Density 510 kg/m3

Prime European Oak (Hardwood) – Sourced from the forests of Europe, the Oak we use is ‘Prime’ Oak rather than joinery grade or character Oak. The grade of Prime Oak ensures timber with minimal defects, such as knots, blemishes, or irregularities. Light to medium-brown in color. The natural hues of prime oak contribute to its timeless and classic appearance.
Density 720 kg/m3
*Density can vary 20% or more*

Our Scandinavian Redwood products are supplied preservative treated (straw coloured) ready for  decoration.  

Clear preservatives can be added to all our other timbers (with exception of the Accoya) and all are  then supplied ready for decoration. 

If painting then the Scan Redwood, Meranti or Accoya are the best options.  All our timbers can be stained, however is planning on staining the Accoya then please do let us  know, as a by product of the modification process the Accoya can have visible black staining/marks  which we have to remove, this can result in the gates finishing at 65mm thick rather than our usual  70mm thick.
