Bent Artery Gate: A Distinctive Choice for Open Countryside and Pet-Friendly Properties

Bent Artery Gate is more than just a gate. It’s a thoughtful combination of style, practicality, and durability that suits properties in the open countryside while keeping a beloved dog safely contained. Empress Fencing Clitheroe offers Bent Artery Gates in several configurations and timber options, allowing you to tailor a solution that fits both your aesthetic preferences and practical needs.

Introduction: Why Bent Artery Gates stand out

If you’re looking for the open gate look but need to keep a dog secure, Bent Artery Gate provides the best of both worlds. It presents an inviting, countryside-atmosphere charm without sacrificing security or ease of use. The design is a tasteful upgrade from a traditional field gate, offering a touch more character and a refined finish that can elevate the appearance of any rural or semi-rural property. With Empress Fencing Clitheroe supplying, you’re tapping into a trusted source for sturdy, well-made timber gates.

Key benefits at a glance

• Pet-friendly design that works with dogs of various sizes
• A distinctive, upscale gate alternative to standard field gates
• Timber options chosen for durability and aesthetics
• Flexible configurations: single, pair, or single & passenger

Available styles and configurations

Bent Artery Gates come in several practical configurations to suit different driveways, entrances, and traffic patterns. Depending on your property layout and how you want to manage pedestrian access alongside vehicles, you can select the most appropriate setup.

Single gate

A single Bent Artery Gate is ideal for straightforward entrances where space is not a constraint. It retains a stately appearance while providing a secure barrier that can be integrated with automatic or manual operation.

Pair of gates

For wider entrances, a pair of Bent Artery Gates creates a balanced, symmetrical look. This setup is common for properties that want a grander entrance and more even weight distribution, which can help with longevity and ease of operation over time.

Single & passenger

If you frequently access the property on foot while keeping vehicle access controlled, the single & passenger configuration offers a practical split. The main gate handles vehicles, while a smaller passenger gate accommodates pedestrians without exposing the drive area to the wider site.

Timber options: hardwood, sapele, and iroko

Choosing the right timber is essential for both appearance and durability. Bent Artery Gates are available in several premium timber options to suit your climate, maintenance preferences, and budget.

• Hardwood: A robust, long-lasting choice that offers natural strength and a traditional look.
• Sapele: Known for its attractive grain and rich colour, sapele provides an elegant finish that remains relatively stable in varying weather.
• Iroko: Often selected for outdoor use due to its durability and resistance to decay, iroko combines resilience with a warm, inviting hue.

Each timber option can be made to order in widths starting from 2 feet and up, ensuring you can tailor the gate to your entrance size and the needs of your property.

Size and made-to-order flexibility

No two entrances are the same, which is why Bent Artery Gates are made to order. This approach allows for precise measurements and a better fit for your driveway or field access point. Standard sizes begin at a minimum width of 2 feet, with the understanding that longer spans or larger openings are feasible through the made-to-order process.

Size customization means you can coordinate the gate with existing fencing, drive surfaces, or decorative elements such as rail patterns and posts. Working with Empress Fencing Clitheroe means you’re collaborating with specialists who understand how to balance form and function in rural settings.

Pricing and value

Pricing for Bent Artery Gates reflects the quality of materials and craftsmanship. An example guide price for a sapele option is:

• Sapele | 12′ gate = £442.00 + VAT

This figure provides a baseline for budgeting, with the understanding that additional configurations, timber choices, or extensions may influence the final cost.

Optional extras to enhance function and security

Bent Artery Gates can be customized with a variety of extras to improve usability and performance. Consider these common add-ons:

• Extra rails: Adds structural strength and a more substantial appearance, which can be desirable for heavier use or transport of larger vehicles.
• Solid bottom bar: A practical feature that not only enhances rigidity but also provides a solid surface for electrification fittings, useful if you’re planning to install automated or electric gate components.
• Solid middle rail: Improves rigidity and reduces the chance of sag or warp over time, contributing to smoother operation and longer service life.

If gates are to be electrified, a solid bottom bar is advisable to accommodate the fittings with minimal interference and a more secure mounting.

Installation considerations and maintenance

• Gate alignment: Proper alignment ensures smooth operation and reduces wear on hinges and latches.
• Mounting surface: Ensure posts are set in stable foundations and that the drive line is clear of obstructions.
• Timber maintenance: Regular inspections and occasional treatment with appropriate preservatives help extend the life of hardwood, sapele, or iroko gates.
• Weather considerations: The countryside environment can expose gates to wind and moisture; choosing a robust timber option and ensuring appropriate finishing can help mitigate weather-related issues.

Consult with Empress Fencing Clitheroe for installation guidelines and maintenance recommendations tailored to your gate choice.
