First bespoke gate build completed for a customer.
The brief was simple: a pair of strong, traditional timber driveway gates that looked good and were built to last.
Designed and built entirely from scratch, with a framed and braced construction, decorative spindle top section, heavy-duty ironmongery, and a secure centre locking system.
I usually spend more time on fencing, landscaping, and general property improvements, so this was a bit different from my usual projects. Every cut, measurement, and detail was done by hand.
Thereβs something incredibly satisfying about turning a pile of timber into something functional, solid, and, in its own way, beautiful.
Definitely learned a lot on this one. π¨π²
