Bespoke Western Red Cedar Sliding Driveway Gate with Iroko Frame – Built for Electric Automation
At Gates Near Me, we create bespoke timber gates designed around each property’s requirements.
This 3-metre-long Western Red Cedar driveway gate features an iroko hardwood frame, double-sided cedar battens and fully braced construction. Designed for electric sliding gate automation, it combines contemporary styling with robust engineering.
A Bespoke Wooden Sliding Gate
Western Red Cedar is a popular choice for premium wooden driveway gates because of its attractive grain, natural colour variation and relatively lightweight properties. Its warm tones suit modern, traditional and rural properties.
The horizontal cedar battens create a clean, contemporary appearance while showcasing the natural character of the timber. This makes the gate an attractive alternative to conventional metal designs.
Iroko Hardwood Frame for Structural Integrity
The substantial iroko hardwood frame provides a strong foundation for the cedar cladding. Iroko is a durable hardwood commonly used in exterior joinery and demanding outdoor applications when correctly specified and maintained.
The fully braced construction helps the gate retain its shape and supports reliable operation. Combining iroko with Western Red Cedar balances strength with a refined natural finish.
Double-Sided Cedar Battens
This driveway gate features Western Red Cedar battens on both sides, providing a consistent appearance from the driveway, garden and roadside.
The horizontal battens create a neat, contemporary finish with the warmth and texture of natural timber.
Designed for Electric Sliding Gate Automation
The gate is manufactured as one 3-metre-long panel rather than two separate leaves. A single sliding gate can suit entrances where space, layout or design makes traditional swing gates less practical.
Installation depends on the available space beside the entrance, ground conditions and the requirements of the chosen automation system.
Integrated Mortised Wheel Holes
The gate includes wheel holes mortised into the bottom of the gate. These purpose-made recesses accommodate the sliding gate wheels within the lower structure, creating a more integrated finish than externally attached wheel assemblies.
The wheel arrangement and automation components must be matched to the gate’s dimensions, weight and installation requirements for suitable support and smooth movement.
