The Abbey Double Gates are constructed using solid steel for a traditional wrought iron gate appearance. The contemporary design will create an attractive and modern entrance to your driveway at an affordable price. The steel used in the manufacture of these driveway gates is electro-galvanised to add a thin layer of zinc on the steel to prevent rust. The gates are then powder coated in a black paint to give a smooth satin finish. This option allows the gates to be installed straight away and will be maintenance free for 5 to 10 years. Once rust starts to show, the gate should be painted with a suitable exterior metal paint such as Hammerite.

Please note the largest size option of 11ft 7in will have three cross pattern panels per gate leaf, all other sizes will have two per gate leaf. The overall number of infill bars will vary depending on the width of gate. 

70mm (2.75") square Gate Posts that are designed to be concreted into the ground are also available. Steel posts which are concreted into the ground are recommended to avoid damage to brickwork.

The Abbey Double Gates are available in the following sizes:

*Please note the body width of the gates will be 150mm (6in) smaller than the gap width measurement listed above to allow space for the hinges to be installed. See "How to Measure Gates" below for more details.

How to Measure Gates

To determine what width of gates to order, measure the gap between your walls or posts. If the gap measurement that you have is 7ft 11in, this is the size option you should choose. The gates themselves will be narrower than the gap measurement to allow space for the hinges to be installed. If you are replacing existing gates, you should still measure the opening and not the width of the existing gates to ensure your new gates will fit the gap with the hinges that are supplied. Please note the hinges require a flat vertical surface for installation.

If you need to install posts within your opening, order gates to fit the remaining gap once the posts have been installed. For example, if you have an opening of 10ft 7.5in and need to install 2 x 2.75in posts, the remaining gap will be 10ft 2in and this is the size gates you should order. Posts are only required if you do not already have walls or posts in place on which to hang the gates.

The height measurement of the gate is from the bottom frame to the highest point in the gate.

When installing your gates, remember to allow for ground clearance, typically 50mm (2") or more if your ground slopes.
