Custom Wood & Wood-Clad Gates
Natural wood appearance supported by a reinforced gate frame and practical moisture clearance.
Natural wood appearance supported by a reinforced gate frame and practical moisture clearance.
A wood gate needs structure underneath its appearance. We plan framing, board attachment and hinges so moisture movement and the weight of cladding do not turn a clean frontage into a sagging leaf.
Repairs can involve individual boards, hardware or the frame itself. We inspect the source of movement or decay before replacing surface material, and assess any added cladding load before automating the gate.
Wood and frame faults
- Boards split or loosen at fasteners
- The latch end sags
- Moisture damage reaches the lower edge
- New cladding makes the operator struggle
Find what is carrying the leaf
We inspect frame stiffness, hinge support, board attachment and clearance from pavement or soil. Local board repairs make sense only when the structural frame remains stable.
For new work we review cladding weight, board spacing and finish care, then size supports and hardware for the completed gate. Automation is selected after that load is known.
Wood gate patterns
- Horizontal boards
- A natural contemporary appearance with spacing and reinforcement planned together.
- Vertical or open patterns
- Coordinate the frontage with the desired visibility and ventilation.
- Wood-clad metal frame
- Separates the visible wood finish from the primary structural assembly.
What affects the scope and the price
- Wood type and board layout
- Frame reinforcement and hinges
- Existing decay or distortion
- Finish preparation and maintenance
- Completed leaf weight for automation
What's included
- Reinforced frame planning
- Board pattern and finish options
- Cladding and fastener repair
- Weight-aware automation assessment
Keep moisture away from the lower edge
Direct irrigation away from boards and hardware, keep ground clearance visible and follow the chosen finish's care guidance. Report loose boards or changing gaps before they interfere with movement.
