Choosing Driveway Gates

By Laura On April 30, 2016

Driveway gates can be a stunning feature to your property and there are many different styles, materials and options available. If you decide to purchase some driveway gates you will need to think about a style that may suit your property as well as what material, you would like them to be constructed from. At The Wooden Workshop we can offer Idigbo, Sapele, Iroko or Oak for your gates as well as joinery grade redwood which is a softwood. If you choose a hardwood you will be pay more for the gates but in return the maintenance is reduced and the life expectancy of the gates is increased. Some hardwood such as Iroko or Oak do not need any treatment and can be left to weather naturally, taking on their own distinctive look. If you decide to go for a softwood, then you will need to consider that you will have to treat your gates on a regular basis as they will deteriorate quicker with no treatment. We can construct driveway gates to a variety of designs, bespoke sizes and we offer a full delivery and installation service as well as automation. Please see our driveway gate page for details

I had a Workshop built by The Wooden Workshop earlier this year (2023). It was installed on a concrete plinth which was also created by them. I opted to have it insulated, which was no problem to the company. I must say that I am absolutely over the moon with the quality of the build, everyone who sees it comments on how good it looks. I have attached some pics of the build and have plenty more should anyone wish to see them

The team at Wooden Workshop did a great job making bespoke oak drive gates for my Grade II* listed property. From our first visit to their excellent workshop to them fitting the gates on site they were professional and highly skilled. Laura kept us informed and answered all our questions promptly. Can't recommend them highly enough. Wouldn't hesitate to go to them again for this type of work. Thanks guys!

Carpentry and construction of wooden store shed. Worked my own outline dimensions to create a design that delivered exactly what I needed.

Recently we had a lovely potting shed installed by Wooden Workshop - absolutely superb quality, expertly installed and overall, the level of service was great. Whilst lockdown did delay the project, it was certainly worth the wait, and we’ve had a number of nice comments about the shed already!

I bought two log stores from The Wooden Workshop and both the design and workmanship are excellent. This is a lovely family run business and their care and attention to detail are second to none.

Having approached Dean just prior to lockdown for a sizeable wooden building in my garden there was inevitably a delay in starting the work. I was kept informed of progress and it was certainly worth waiting for. Dean & his team have a keen eye for detail and finish, I am pleased with my building which is both attractive and functional. I have no hesitation in recommending The Wooden Workshop.

Dean made me a 4’ Oak bench to go in Kentisbury Churchyard in memory of my parents, and I could not be more delighted. It is beautifully made and finished, and the service I received was excellent. I thoroughly recommend the Wooden Workshop.

Craftsmanship of the highest order. We are absolutely delighted with our gates. Dean and Nigel did a great job too with the installation. The price was very reasonable too. The wooden workshop serves customers across the UK with a wide variety of products. There was a delay in finalising an installation date but that was no one’s fault. Thanks again. We are very happy.

We are delighted with our shed. It was erected very efficiently by a team a friendly workmen who made it look fabulous. It is admired by many of the neighbours, which was important because of the proximity of listed buildings. Great work sensitively executed. Thank you. Nick & Dee Stratford Upon Avon
