Description
Our Curved headed gates, as the name suggests, features a solid full thickness gently curving head, which not only makes for an elegant top to the gate, but also serves to protect the end grain of the tongue and groove boarding, making your new gate last you much longer.
Available as either a high centre or low centr curve, the gate is available in a choice of five timbers – Scandinavian Redwood (Softwood), meranti, Idigbo & Prime European Oak (all Hardwoods) and finally A1 Accoya (Modified Softwood).
The rear of our Curved top gate, showing the sheer strength and craftsmanship we lovingly put into all of our gates, is shown right and a low centre (dropping in the centre) version is also shown below.
The Curved pedestrian gates are also available as open boarded gates (opens in new window), pairs of driveway gates and smaller garden gates
Each and every gate we make is carefully and specially made to measure for your specifications by time served craftsmen, and are available in smooth planed Hardwood (European Oak, Meranti and Idigbo), Accoya (Modified Softwood) and Scandinavian Redwood (Softwood).

Gate Automation
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.
About Us
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.
Measuring Up
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.
Timbers
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.
