Hardwood Iroko Driveway Gates

Hand-built iroko hardwood driveway gates. A premium, weatherproof entrance that lasts.

Bespoke driveway gates hand-built in iroko, a dense, naturally durable hardwood that stands up to the British weather and ages beautifully. Mortice-and-tenon jointed, hung on properly bedded posts, and balanced to swing true for years. The entrance is the first thing a visitor sees, and these gates make the right impression.

Why iroko for gates?

Iroko is a dense, naturally oily hardwood that resists rot and weather without constant treatment, and it ages into a rich, characterful finish. It is an excellent timber for gates that see daily use.

Are the gates made to measure?

Yes, every gate is built to the opening, the levels and the style you want, then hung on posts set to carry the weight.

Do hardwood gates need treatment?

Iroko can be left to weather to a silver-grey or kept rich with an occasional oil. Either way it needs far less upkeep than softwood.

How are the gates jointed?

With traditional mortice-and-tenon joinery, which is far stronger and longer-lasting than screwed or butt-jointed gates.

Can the gates be automated later?

Yes, we can build and hang them ready for automation to be added now or in the future.
