What Southampton asks of a gate
Replacing a wooden gate
A lot of the gates in Southampton gardens are timber, and a lot of people searching here still ask for a wooden gate. Timber looks right but needs treating every year or two, swells and sticks in a wet winter, and rots where it meets the ground. Composite boards in oak and timber effects give the same look on a galvanised steel frame, and they need nothing more than a wash.
Inter-war semis with a side drive
Bassett, Bitterne, Shirley and Sholing have streets of 1930s semis and detached houses with a drive running down the side. That usually means a pair of driveway gates at the front and a side gate further back, and they look best made as a set in the same boards and frame colour. Send photos of both openings and they will be priced together.
Gardens on the edge of the New Forest
West of the city, Totton, Marchwood and Ashurst back onto the New Forest, where ponies, cattle and deer wander freely. A gate there has to close behind you every time. Self-closing hinges and a latch that catches on its own keep animals out of the garden, and a gate can be made solid to the ground so nothing pushes underneath.
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, from black and anthracite to a colour picked up from your windows or front door.
