Driveway gates mark the point where your property begins, and few materials make that statement as well as timber. This collection of wooden driveway gates offers substantial, solidly built designs for driveway openings.
A well-hung set of gates adds privacy and a degree of security, discourages casual callers, and helps keep children and pets safely within the boundary. Solid timber construction gives each gate the weight and rigidity to feel reassuringly permanent.
Before choosing, measure your opening at several points, decide whether the gates will swing inwards onto the drive, and plan for sturdy posts and hinges — a driveway gate works hard every day and deserves proper hanging.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
Measure the opening at several points across the gap, as driveways are rarely perfectly square, and work to the narrowest measurement. Remember a pair of driveway gates shares that width between the two leaves plus clearance for hinges and the central meeting point. Note any slope in the ground too, as it affects how far the gates can swing.
Most wooden driveway gates are hung to swing inwards onto the drive, so they never open across a pavement or road where they could catch passers-by or traffic. Check you have enough level space behind the opening for both leaves to clear parked cars, and decide the direction before you set your posts.
A well-hung set of solid timber driveway gates adds privacy and a degree of security. They discourage casual callers, mark a clear point where your property begins, and help keep children and pets safely within the boundary. Fitting a suitable latch, drop bolt or lock lets you set how secure the closed gates need to be.
A driveway gate works hard every day, so it deserves proper hanging. Because these are substantial, solidly built gates, plan for sturdy posts set firmly in the ground and heavy-duty hinges rated for the weight and width. Getting the posts plumb and well-founded is what keeps a heavy timber gate swinging smoothly and hanging true over the years.
This collection focuses on substantial wooden driveway gates built for wider vehicle openings, where a pair of leaves meeting in the middle spans the gap. Solid timber construction gives each gate the weight and rigidity to feel reassuringly permanent. Check the listed widths against your measured opening so the closed pair fills it neatly with the right clearance.
