By choosing a boarded style, you will benefit from maximum privacy – this can be reassuring if you’re looking to protect your property from prying eyes, or simply to allow you to enjoy your front garden with the same privacy as your rear garden.
A stylish yet practical combination of both metal and hardwood or composite, this gate style was born out of our customers’ desires to have a gate with the longevity afforded by a 50mm metal frame which is then clad in hardwood or composite.
All of our gate ranges can be made with a matching style pedestrian gate when you have a separate pathway, or need to allow for people on foot getting to your front door.
The metal frame is powder coated in a satin or gloss finish, and although black is the most popular choice, you are able to choose from a wide selection detailed in the RAL colour chart. Timber comes untreated, and can also be supplied oiled or stained. You can choose clear oil to bring out the natural wood colour and enhance the grain, or colours similar to those of natural wood. Oils also improve the durability of wood and as they’re absorbed and are nourishing too. Maintenance, once oiled, can be as simple as lightly sanding any damage and applying a fresh coat.
The wood is generally applied to just one side of the metal frame – keeping costs low – but can also be fitted on both sides to fully enclose the frame, leaving just the edges visible.
The Morden gates are made bespoke to your specific design and as such, the cladding can be laid vertical, horizontal and diagonally – with or without gaps – to create the style you require. Your gate could be fully boarded or with metal pales/rods to allow some visibility both in and out of your property.
