Designer Crazy Gate Made to Order
The designer crazy gate is built from vertical boards set with gaps, giving a striking, informal look that stands out from a standard garden gate. It is made to order, so you choose the size, the board finish and whether it is treated. That makes it a good choice when you want an entrance with character.
Our shop stocks standard gates off the shelf. This gate is different, because each one is made for the opening it will hang in.
Why the Gaps Matter
The gaps between the boards do more than look good. They let wind pass through, which takes pressure off the hinges and posts. A solid gate on an exposed site can pull at its fixings in every storm.
That makes the designer crazy gate well suited to hillside gardens around Pendle and the Bowland fells. It also works on open plots and farm entrances where the wind has nothing to slow it down.
Rough Sawn or Planed Boards
You can choose rough sawn or planed softwood. Rough sawn boards give a rustic texture that suits cottages, smallholdings and country gardens. Planed boards are smooth, so they look sharper and take paint more evenly.
If you plan to paint the gate a bold colour, planed boards are the better choice. For a natural, weathered look, rough sawn works well.
Treated or Untreated Designer Crazy Gate
The designer crazy gate can be pressure-treated or left untreated. Pressure treatment protects the timber against rot and insects and suits most gardens. Untreated timber is for people who want to apply their own finish, such as a specific oil or paint system.
If you choose untreated, apply your finish soon after delivery and keep it maintained. Bare softwood will not last long in Lancashire weather otherwise. Our guide on how to look after your gates has more on this.
Posts and Fittings
Even a gapped gate needs a firm hanging post. Our timber posts cover the common gate sizes. For hinges and a latch, browse our gate fittings, or choose the auto gate catch kit if you want the gate to latch as it closes.
Our article on gate hinges and latches that outlast the gate explains how to choose fittings that last.
How Ordering Works
Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the smallest figure. Call us with the size, the board finish and whether you want it treated. We will confirm the details before the gate is made. Made-to-order work takes longer than stock items, so ask about timing when you order.
We supply the designer crazy gate, and you or your fitter hang it. For other eye-catching styles, see our decorative garden gates.
