Electric Wooden Gate FAQs
Quick answers to the most common queries about wooden gates.
The lifespan of wooden gates depends on the type of timber used and the level of maintenance required. A well-built hardwood gate, regularly treated and cared for, can easily last for twenty years or more. Softwood gates will offer a shorter lifespan, but if well looked after, they can last for many years. The wooden gates that we install are designed with longevity in mind, enabling them to withstand the variable UK climate. If you are unsure on whether to choose a wooden electric gate or a metal electric gate, read through our pros and cons to help you decide.
Yes. Wooden gates can be automated just like metal or composite gates, and at Harrier Gates, we build and fit wooden gates with automation in mind. Where needed, we skilfully apply reinforced hinges and frames to enable full automation. With discreet, high-performance systems installed by our team, you benefit from both added convenience and security.
We use durable, high-quality hardwoods such as oak and iroko on our wooden driveway or garden gates to provide something not only resistant to decay but also aesthetically pleasing too. Where preferred, our team will also carefully source selected softwoods for your wooden gates.
Wooden gates for driveways, gardens, and any other entrance or exit points do require occasional treatment to help maintain their appearance and strength. With regular cleaning, you can prevent mould, algae and any other unsightly markings, ensuring your gate lasts for years to come and retains its beautiful appearance. Oiling or staining every few years also adds a layer of protection against UV rays, moisture and pests.
Yes. They simply cannot be left open. Motors hold them closed, and integrated access control systems ensure that only approved individuals can gain access.
All of our wooden driveway gates are unique, expertly built to match the property and its surroundings. Where some properties suit an electric wooden gate exhibiting a traditional style, others may benefit from something more contemporary. We offer a wide choice of timbers, finishes and automation options; as a result, costs vary for every single design we do. Feel free to contact our team today to find out more.
Depending on the scale of the project and whether any specific groundworks are required, an installation on a domestic property can take between two and five days. Commercial or industrial properties may take a little longer. Our team can advise on timescales so you remain fully aware of what a project entails.
Before we do anything, we offer a free, no-obligation survey. We’ll attend your property, listen to your needs and assess the site. Using our years of experience, we’ll make suggestions that align with your design ideas and security concerns, providing a tailored quote for your bespoke designs. If you are happy, we can then proceed.
