What Bodmin asks of a gate
Living on the edge of the moor
Out at Cardinham, Blisland and the villages towards the moor, sheep, cattle and ponies graze the open commons, and a gate left ajar is an open invitation to the garden. Self-closing hinges and a latch that catches every time solve it. The frame is galvanised under the powder coat for the wet moorland weather, and the posts are concreted deep so the gate stays square.
A town built on a hillside
Bodmin climbs steeply from the valley floor, and in the streets around the town centre and up towards the beacon many front paths and drives rise sharply from the road. A gate there is hung so it swings away from the slope, with the bottom rail raked where the ground falls, and the fabricator checks the fall on site before the gate is made.
Room for bikes
The Camel Trail starts on the edge of town, and a lot of Bodmin households keep bikes round the side or the back. A standard side gate can be a squeeze with a bike and panniers. A wider single leaf or a pair of side gates makes it easy, and a lock that opens from both sides means nobody has to go round to let you in.
Boards and frame colours
Composite boards
Board ranges vary from one fabricator to another, but they can fit almost any make. If you have seen a board you like, send the name or a photo and the fabricator will tell you whether it can be used.
Steel frames
Frames can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour. Black and anthracite are the usual choices, and brown sits well against Cornish stone.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Bodmin
How much do composite gates cost in Bodmin?
As a guide, a single side or garden gate is around £900 to £1,500 fabricated and fitted, and a pair of driveway gates runs from around £1,800 to £5,000 or more. The width, the slope, the hinges and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
We have sheep and ponies on the lane. Can a gate close itself?
Yes. Self-closing hinges and a latch that catches every time keep the gate shut behind you.
Our path climbs steeply from the road. Can a gate be hung there?
Yes. It is hung to swing away from the slope, with the bottom rail raked where the ground falls.
Can a side gate be wide enough for bikes?
Yes. A wider single gate or a pair of side gates can be made to suit.
Why do you ask for photos before visiting?
The fabricators on our network cover a wide area, so a visit can mean a long round trip. Photos and a rough width let them give you a provisional price first, and the visit to measure only happens once you are happy with it. You are not waiting in for someone only to find the price does not suit.
Do you cover Lanivet, Blisland and St Mabyn?
Yes, along with Nanstallon, Cardinham, Washaway, St Tudy and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
