Full thickness curved head?
Our Curved headed gates as mentioned feature a full thickness head, the boarding joints into the curved head – this protects the more vulnerable end-grain of the boarding and makes for a much more longer lasting gate!
As with all our gates each pair is made to measure and based on a sturdy 70mm x 70mm through wedged morticed and tenon jointed frame.
