Why You Need a New Back Gate Installation
Common Issues with Existing Gates
Over time, back gates can face several issues:
- Rotting Wood: Wood gates can decay due to exposure to the elements.
- Sagging Structure: Gates may sag, making them difficult to open and close.
- Misaligned Bolts: As gates drop, bolts can misalign, compromising security.
If any of these problems sound familiar, it might be time to consider a new back gate installation.
Our Back Gate Installation Services
We offer comprehensive back gate installation services, including the following options:
Close Board Type Garden Gate in Softwood
Our primary offering is the close board type garden gate, crafted from high-quality softwood. Here’s why this option is popular:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a classic, natural look that complements any garden.
- Durability: Treated softwood is resistant to rot and decay, ensuring longevity.
- Security: Close board gates offer robust security, making it difficult for intruders to gain access.
Custom Sourcing and Installation
Do you already have a back gate that you’ve purchased? No problem! We can install any back gate you have, ensuring it fits perfectly and functions smoothly. Our custom installation process includes:
- Assessment and Planning: Evaluating your current setup to determine the best installation method.
- Precision Installation: Ensuring the gate is fitted accurately, with all bolts and fittings aligned.
- Integration with Existing Structures: Whether it’s a fence, garage, or garden wall, we’ll seamlessly integrate your new gate.
Retrofitting: Adding a Back Gate to an Existing Fence
If you need a back gate where there currently isn’t one, our retrofitting service is the solution. We offer two primary methods for retrofitting a gate into an existing fence:
1. Cutting into Close Board Bays
We carefully cut an opening in the close-board bays to create a clean and accurate fit for your new gate. This method involves:
- Cutting the Opening: Precisely cutting the close-board bays to fit the new gate.
- Installing Gate Posts: Installing two new sturdy gate posts within the bay to provide a solid foundation for the gate.
- Rejoining the Fence: Seamlessly integrating the new gate into the existing fence structure, ensuring both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
- Ensuring Smooth Operation: Making sure all fittings and bolts are perfectly aligned for smooth and secure operation.
2. Utilizing Existing Panel Fence Posts
For panel fences, we can use one of the existing fence posts as one of the gate posts. Here’s how we do it:
- Assessment and Planning: Determining the best location for the gate within the panel fence.
- Gate Post Installation: Using an existing fence post as one gate post, we install a second post for additional support.
- Rejoining the Fence: Seamlessly rejoining the fence to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
- Ensuring Smooth Operation: Making sure all fittings and bolts are perfectly aligned for smooth and secure operation.
