Rising Bridge Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers

Choosing Your Rising Bridge Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers

Rising Bridge sits on the Hyndburn and Rossendale border, where the road climbs between Accrington and Haslingden. Much of the village is stone terraces with small back yards opening onto a back street. Higher up, a few newer homes have larger gardens with views across the moors.

As Rising Bridge wooden garden gates suppliers, most of our local orders are for one job. People want to replace a tired back yard gate with something solid that locks.

Replacing a Back Yard Gate

Terraced back yard gates take a lot of punishment. They face the weather on an exposed hillside, and they get banged open with bins every week. Eventually the boards split and the hinges pull loose.

Our tongue and groove gate measures 0.9m x 1.8m and gives a solid, closed face. Many yard openings are close to that width, but always measure first. Old stone gateposts are rarely square, so measure at the top, middle and bottom and use the narrowest figure.

Locking the Gate From the Yard Side

A back street gate needs to lock securely. The ring gate latch kit includes a pair of 16 inch tee hinges, a 6 inch ring latch and a 6 inch Brenton padbolt. The padbolt slides across from the yard side, so the gate stays shut at night. It is one of the questions we answer most often as Rising Bridge wooden garden gates suppliers.

Fixing into stone is different from fixing into timber. If you are hanging onto a stone pier, you may need longer screws or masonry fixings. Alternatively, bolt a timber post to the wall and hang the gate from that.

Gates for Larger Gardens Up the Hill

Homes higher up often have a front gate as well as a side gate. A feather edge gate matches a feather edge or closeboard fence, while the arched versions give a softer outline. For a low front gate, browse our decorative garden gates, including the Regency gate and decorative picket gate.

Wind on an Exposed Hillside

Rising Bridge catches the wind coming over the Pennine moors. A gate that is not latched will slam back against the wall. So fit a stop on the post, or set the hinges so the gate swings closed. A self-closing auto gate catch kit is a good choice for a side gate that gets used all day. Most of our customers who use us as Rising Bridge wooden garden gates suppliers choose this option.

If an old gate has started to drop, our guide on how to fix a sagging garden gate may help you decide whether to repair or replace it.

Delivery From Your Rising Bridge Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers
