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.
The curved top gate, shown, is in Meranti (Hardwood), and is the fully boarded, high centre (rising to the centre) version.
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
