A garden gate does more than close a gap in the fence — it sets the tone for the whole boundary. Our wooden garden gate collection covers everything from slim side entrances to wider back garden gate designs, all made from solid timber.
You'll find a variety of heights and styles, from lower gates that keep sightlines open to tall, close-boarded designs that add privacy and security. Framed, ledged and braced construction helps a timber gate resist sagging through years of daily use.
Measure your opening carefully before ordering, allowing clearance for hinges and the latch, and think about which way you want the gate to swing before you fix your posts.
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.
Every garden gate in this collection is made from solid timber rather than thin flat panels. They use framed, ledged and braced construction, which helps the gate resist sagging through years of daily opening and closing. The timber can be painted or stained in a finish of your choice to match your existing fence line and weather the gate for outdoor use.
Start with the job the gate needs to do. Lower gates keep sightlines open and suit front paths, while tall, close-boarded designs add privacy and security to side and rear entrances. Match the height and style to the fencing on either side so the boundary reads as one line, then confirm the opening width before you order.
Measure the clear width between your posts or brickwork, then choose a gate slightly narrower so there is room for the hinges on one side and the latch on the other. Measure the height you want as well. Allowing this clearance means the gate swings freely without binding once the ironmongery is fitted.
Decide the swing direction before you fix your posts, as it affects which side the hinges and latch go. Most garden gates open inwards so they clear paths and pavements, but the ground level, slope and how you approach the opening all matter. Settling this early avoids having to reposition posts or ironmongery later.
It describes how the gate is built: an outer frame with horizontal ledges and a diagonal brace behind the boards. That diagonal is the key part, as it stops the gate dropping at the latch corner over time. Compared with a simple flat-panel gate, this construction keeps a timber gate square and hanging true for far longer.
