Useful Information About the Dalby Driveway Gates

Width Dimensions: Wooden driveway gates are sold as a pair and the width dimensions shown within the drop-down menu at the top of the page refers to the physical width of both gates (when placed side by side). Each pair comprises of the following:

• 7ft pair = 2 x 3ft 6”

• 8ft pair = 2 x 4ft

• 9ft pair = 2 x 4ft 6”

• 10ft pair = 2 x 5ft

• 11ft pair = 2 x 5ft 6”

• 12ft pair = 2 x 6ft  

Height Dimensions: The physical height detailed in the product description is measured from the underside of the gates to the highest point. No allowance has been made for any ground clearance. We recommend leaving 50mm (2”) when installing however this is a guide only and may vary according to site constraints (such as sloping driveways, steps or other similar obstructions within the swinging radius of the gates).

Fittings: The hinges, latch and drop bolt are not included as standard. If you need to add these items to your order you will need to select the appropriate fitting pack from the menu above.

Posts: We recommend using wooden posts when installing the gates. If you are fitting in between and existing support structure (such as masonry pillars) the use of wall mounted posts is acceptable. Alternatively, for freestanding installations, in ground posts will need to be used. In both instances, the gap formed between the posts should be 40mm wider than the physical width of the gates you order. This will then provide the optimal spacing for the hinges and to allow for expansion of the timber throughout the seasons.

Finish: Dalby wooden driveway gates are handmade from smooth planed Scandinavian Redwood. This timber has not been treated to offer protection against the elements. It is therefore essential that all exposed surfaces are stained or painted prior to installation to ensure the best level of protection is achieved.

Installation: When installing the product, you should use appropriate size hook and band hinges. To ensure the best level of support, they should be mounted to the top and bottom horizontal rails. For inward opening layouts, the hinges should be fixed to the back face or for outward opening layouts they will need to fit to the front face of the gates.
