The fabrication and installation of composite gates have become a firm favourite recently, but what exactly is this custom product?

Composite Gates

Composite boards are created from a mixture of wood fibres, binding agents and plastics – giving them the appearance of wood but without the susceptibility to disease and pests, or the need for maintenance.

They have proven to be a popular, low maintenance and cost-effective alternative to wooden gates, as well as standard metal materials.

What are the benefits?

Composite boards have a number of advantages over timber and metal:

- They are easy to install.

- The combination of wood and plastic together gives composite boards high strength and durability to any condition, ideal for use as a security gate which relies on this solidity. - https://www.thorndell.com/metal-gate-manufacturers

- They will outlive traditional timber with an expected lifespan of over 20 years, significantly more than wooden gates.

- There's no need to treat or stain the gates again.

- They are a perfect fit for driveways that need privacy.

- They are available in a range of different colours - 'Grey' currently being in demand.

- They are considerably cheaper than metal gates.
