Joggles are the protrusions on top corners of the gates, these give the mortice & tenon joints strength. As standard the joggles are arched/curved.
Optional cover strip sits over the 10mm clearance gap between the two gates in the centre.
Create a pair of gates with one gate larger than the other to give you a pedestrian access gate.
Maximum width of a single gate is 2000mm. Please state width of larger gate if you have apreference.
Which gate is the smaller gate when viewed from the front? Left or Right?
Open boarded or slatted gates are great if you live in a windy area, as they allow the wind to pass through the gates. Larger close boarded gates can be difficult, at times, to open into a strong wind; you run the risk of the wind dragging them out of your hands; with an open boarded gate, this can be greatly reduced.
Usually with a gate, the bracing and rails are exposed on the rear. Choose double boarded/double sided gates if you don't want to see the rails/bracing.
Not recommended however if you are intending to automate the gates.
standard bracing or double braced driveway gates
The rear of the gates has diagonal bracing, this should point down to the bottom rail and spreads the weight to the hinge side. In some instances or if you are automating the gates with an above ground system the you would double brace the gates so the bracing forms an 'X' on the rear of each gate. On shorter gates double bracing willappear as an upturned 'V'. If you require this or are using an above ground automation system please select double bracing. You would also combine double braced gates with a solid bottom rail when automating the gates with a below ground automation system.
add a full thickness bottom rail
As standard gates have bottom rail that can only be seen from rear, from the front it is covered by the cladding. Add a full thickness bottom rails means the bottom rail can be seen from both sides of the gates, bottom rail being 5 3/4" / 145mm tall with the cladding being jointed into the rail. Bottom rail is required if you intend to automate the gates with a below ground automation system.
