What Poole asks of a gate
Salt air around the harbour
Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and a lot of the town lives close to it: Sandbanks, Lilliput, Parkstone, Hamworthy and the quays. Salt air gets into everything. Cheap hinges seize, bare steel rusts through paint, and timber greys and splits. Here the frame is galvanised before it is powder coated, and the hinges, latch and fixings are chosen to keep working by the water.
Drives that slope up from the road
Lower Parkstone, Lilliput and Canford Cliffs are cut by chines, so plenty of drives climb or fall away from the pavement. A hinged pair on a slope either catches the ground or leaves a big gap underneath. The answer is a gate with a raked bottom that follows the slope, gates hung to open outwards where the highway rules allow, or a sliding gate that runs across the opening instead of swinging through it.
Space for a boat or a motorhome
A good number of Poole households keep a boat, a trailer or a motorhome on the drive, and that needs a wide clear opening. A pair can be made unequal, with a narrow leaf for everyday use and a wide one opened only when the boat goes out. Wide gates are made with a stiffer frame and a drop bolt, so they stay level and do not sag.
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 by the water, but a frame can be matched to your windows or front door.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Poole
How much do composite gates cost in Poole?
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 salt air near the harbour?
Yes, if it is specified for it. The frame is galvanised under the powder coat, and the hinges, latch and fixings are chosen for the coast.
My drive slopes up from the road. Can I still have gates?
Usually. The bottom of the gate can follow the slope, or a sliding gate can run across the opening instead of swinging.
Can you make a gate wide enough for a boat?
Yes. A wide pair, or an unequal pair with one narrow leaf for everyday use, made with a stiffer frame and a drop bolt.
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 Broadstone, Upton and Wimborne?
Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm which fabricator can take on your job, whether you are in Poole, Broadstone, Upton, Wimborne or the villages around.
