Wooden Gates

What is the standard size of a wooden garden gate?

The standard size of a wooden gate in the UK, presuming that it is full-height is roughly 6ft (180cm) x 3ft (90cm). Gates can come in varying sizes, although it is mainly the height that changes, and the width stays the same at around 3ft (90cm). However, the exact dimensions of a wooden gate can differ depending on the style and shape - for example, if it has a curved or designer top, then it may be slightly lower than a fully rectangle version. Simply check the dimension specifications on our product pages for the full sizing of each of our gates for sale.

Are wooden gates any good?

Wooden gates are a cost-effective solution to adding security, additional privacy, to create a perimeter, or to replace an existing damaged or broken gate. They can be quite quickly installed by yourself at home with minimal DIY knowledge, and for the majority of occasions simply require a couple of fence posts, unless it's being sited between two existing brick walls. Matched with a quality bolt or locking mechanism, and adequate hinges, standard softwood wooden gates can last for a good 15 years or more, so for the low cost, offer great value for money.
