The Appleton design for a wooden side gate is an extremely popular choice and a great value choice for you. Our wooden gates are made from Scandinavian Redwood. Our customers love the design with its smoothed wooden arched top, grooved gate made of premium quality timber and their very own choice of gate hinges and gate locks. Manufacturing gates such as the Appleton design involves using a 70mm thick mortice and tenon framework with 95mm x 45mm thick planed bracing and inset boards. Once everything is selected, choose what treatment you would like your wooden garden side gates to have. Here at Stellar Gates, we understand how wooden gates, be they, wooden driveway gates, or wooden gates for the front of your house, are unique to you, which is why we give you complete control so you can be sure the wooden gates you choose are the best gates for you.
For more information on our hardware, check our hardware options. Here there are pictures of our two types of hardware; black and galvanised.
Please see our ‘choose your timber’ page for images of our Scandinavian redwood gates to see how they look when oiled and fitted. You can also take a look at our hardwood gates to see if you prefer the hardwood.
All our gates, wooden side gates and front gates are made to measure and made to order. You will receive an email update once the gate is ready to dispatch.
Here at Stellar Gates, we pride ourselves on good quality products and honest service. If you have any questions at all regarding your order then please do not hesitate to call us on 01925 387008 or email on hello@stellargates.co.uk.

Wooden work of art
The team re-checked my measurements and tweaked the size by 5mm. When it arrived it was so much bigger and heavier than expected — but fits perfectly. I've been looking at all the neighbourhood gates for weeks. I believe I've got the best gate in town.

Superior to other manufacturers
My driveway gates replaced a set from another well-known manufacturer. Stellar Gates are of an extremely high quality and superior to other gate manufacturers I have used. I would have no hesitation in recommending.
