We have supplied our wooden gates regularly to gate automation installers both locally and around the country for several years. All our gates are available to suit both below ground and above ground automation. For above ground automation the gates just require double bracing (forming an 'X' on the rear of each gate - see picture below). For below ground automation as well as being double braced the gates require a full thickness solid bottom rail (EX 6" / 150mm wide) which the boards are also jointed into.
Wooden gates suitable for above ground automation
Pictured left is a pair of Derwent wooden driveway gates (in Idigbo, hardwood) showing the extra bracing that we fit if you intend to automate your gates with an above ground gate automation system. As with all of our gates the bracing is jointed into the rails of the gates.
All of our gates are available to suit above ground automation. Please contact us for more details.
Wooden gates suitable for below ground automation
For below ground automation then a solid full thickness bottom rail is required.
Pictured left is a pair of Thirlmere wooden gates (in Meranti, Hardwood) suitable for a below ground automation system. The bottom rail of the gates is an EX 6" / 150mm wide rail, with the boards jointed into the bottom rail.
