Choosing Your Eccleshill Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers

Eccleshill is a small rural parish on the high ground between Darwen and Blackburn. It is a scatter of farms, cottages and short rows of houses, with open moorland close by. Gardens here are often exposed, and the weather can turn quickly when it comes off the moors.

As Eccleshill wooden garden gates suppliers, we focus on gates and fittings that stand up to wind and rain.

Gates That Cope With the Wind

A solid gate acts like a small sail in a gale. On an exposed hillside, that puts real strain on the hinges and the post. So pair a sturdy gate with sturdy fittings. Our tongue and groove gate measures 0.9m x 1.8m and is pressure-treated softwood.

The ring gate latch kit has longer 16 inch tee hinges that spread the load across more of the gate. It also includes a Brenton padbolt, which stops the wind working the gate open.

Posts Matter More on High Ground

A gate post on an exposed site takes the full force of every gust. Over time, a weak post leans and the gate drops. Therefore, choose a heavier post for gates. The 100mm x 100mm rough sawn timber post comes in 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m lengths. It is one of the questions we answer most often as Eccleshill wooden garden gates suppliers.

Set it deep, with gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage, and fix it with 20kg Postcrete. Shape the top so rain runs away from the timber.

Feather Edge Gates to Match Your Fence

If your boundary is closeboard or feather edge, a matching feather edge gate keeps the whole run looking consistent. The arched version adds a softer curve that suits stone cottages. You can see every style in our traditional garden gates range.

Keeping a Gate Swinging Freely

Timber swells in wet weather and shrinks in dry spells. So leave a small clearance at the hinge side and a slightly larger one at the latch side. Also check the hinge screws every autumn and tighten any that have worked loose. Our guide to gate hinges and latches that outlast the gate covers maintenance in more detail. Most of our customers who use us as Eccleshill wooden garden gates suppliers choose this option.

Delivery From Your Eccleshill Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers

Many Eccleshill properties sit along narrow lanes with limited turning space. Our drivers use a pickup or small open-back transit and reverse to the most suitable spot. They cannot lift items over walls or carry them along a farm track. So please add directions and access notes in the order comments box.
