⚠️ NOT ALL DOUBLE GATES ARE BUILT THE SAME ⚠️
There’s a huge difference between knocking up a pair of gates and properly constructing quality gates that are built to last.
We regularly see:
❌ No ground bolts
❌ Flimsy bolts and catches
❌ Too few or undersized hinges
❌ Gates fitted too close to the ground
❌ Incorrect ironmongery
❌ Inadequate posts and fixings
❌ “Frames” that are simply pieces of timber screwed together
A quality mortise & tenon gate with properly jointed, rebated frames and central rebates takes time and skill to make.
Large gates are heavy and have to withstand wind, weather and years of use. The construction, posts, hinges, bolts and fixings ALL matter.
Will properly constructed gates cost more? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
You’re paying for better materials, skilled construction, heavy-duty galvanised ironmongery and a job built and installed properly.
Two quotes that both say “double gates” can be for two completely different products.
It’s your hard-earned money — make sure you know what you’re getting.
We’re always happy to help with straightforward advice and a quotation.
