What Falmouth asks of a gate
Living by the harbour
Falmouth wraps around one of the deepest natural harbours in the world, and from Pendennis to Penryn, Flushing and Mylor, a lot of homes look out over salt water. That air is hard on steel and cheap fittings. The frame here is zinc coated before it is powder coated, the hinges and latch are made for the coast, and composite boards will not rot, flake or need painting.
Cornish hedges and granite
Many gardens around Falmouth and Penryn are bounded by Cornish hedges, earth banks faced with stone, or by granite walls. Neither is built to take the weight of a steel-framed gate swinging on it. The usual answer is a steel post set in concrete beside the hedge or wall, powder coated to match the gate, so the bank is left undisturbed and the gate hangs true.
Tight frontages and steps
Older streets in Falmouth and Penryn are narrow, with steep paths, steps and small front gardens. There is often no room for a gate to swing. A slim single gate hung to open the right way, or a short sliding gate on a drive, solves it, and every gate is made to the measured opening rather than a stock size.
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. Anthracite and black are the usual choices by the water, but a frame can be matched to your door or windows.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Falmouth
How much do composite gates cost in Falmouth?
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, hinged or sliding, the boards and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Will a gate cope with the sea air?
Yes, if it is made for it: a zinc-coated frame, coated hinges and latch, and composite boards that do not rot.
Can a gate be fixed to a Cornish hedge?
Usually on a steel post set in concrete beside it, so the bank and its stone facing are left alone.
My frontage is very narrow. What are my options?
A slim single gate hung to open the right way, or a short sliding gate. Send photos and a width and the fabricator will suggest what fits.
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 Penryn, Mylor and Mawnan Smith?
Yes, along with Flushing, Budock Water, Constantine, Ponsanooth and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
