Wooden Electric Gates

To build a quality Hardwood Electric Gate it is vital that the right materials are used and that skilled craftsmen carry out the construction.

We mainly use Iroko and Utile both African hardwood for gate building. It is naturally durable and stable . The timber arrives at our workshop rough sawn and kiln dried. We then put the timber “in stick” in our yard for secondary seasoning, during this period the timber will take up moisture until an optimum of 18 per cent is achieved.

Our gates are 70mm finish thick with a steel reinforced bottom rail to spread the load of an underground motor the full length of the gate, rather than an eight or twelve inch shoe.
