Colwyn Pedestrian Gate

Every thing we manufacture is made to measure by our British Woodworking Federation Approved  Joiners.  

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. 

All prices gate prices include delivery to most parts of the UK mainland. Exclusions to this are  highlands or Scotland and off shore areas of the UK (Scottish Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man,  Channel Islands).

Scottish Highlands (3-5 day) £46 

Scilly / Scottish Islands (3-5day) £56 

Isle of Wight £36 

Isle of Man (3-5 day) £76  

Channel Islands (3-5 day) £56 

All inc VAT 

Please note that due to Brexit we are currently not shipping to Northern Ireland or Europe.

We do not supply gate automation systems with our gates, for gates 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. 

Gates 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 post sizes and hinge/ironmongery requiremnts then your gate automater should advise as different systems have different specs and  requirements. 

All our gates can be manufactured to suit both below ground and above ground automation systems. If automating using an above ground system then you will require the gates double bracing. For  gates being automated using a below ground system then you will require both double bracing and a full thickness bottom rail.

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 gate height  required (at highest point) and the overall opening width. 

If you just have a brickwork opening with no posts 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 posts 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. 

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) 

Meranti (Hardwood) 

Idigbo (Hardwood) 

A1 Accoya (Modified Softwood) 

Prime European Oak (Hardwood) 

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.
