Made to Measure Abbey Bow Top Gate

If the standard sizes available in the Abbey Bow Top Gate are not going to fit your opening, a made to measure service is available and can be ordered online. Please ensure you read the information below about how to work out the size you need to order and then follow the simple steps detailed below to place your order.

How to work out what size to order

For the width, measure the gap you have between your walls or posts. If you are replacing an existing gate, do not measure the gate itself as this will not take into account the space for the hinges and latch that are supplied with your gate.

For example: If the gap you have is 1000mm and you do not need posts, the width you should specify is 1000mm. If you do require posts, the measurement you need to specify is the gap between your posts. So if you have a 1000mm gap and need to install 2 x 50mm posts, the gap width for your gate should be entered as 900mm.

Measure the height of gate you require, from the bottom of the frame to the highest point in the gate. Remember to allow for ground clearance, typically 50mm (2") or more if your ground slopes.

Refer to the diagram above for an illustration of the measurements you need or contact us if you are unsure and one of our team will be happy to help you.
