Why Do You Need a Gate Post?
Whether you’re installing a new garden gate or adding some privacy to your drive with a driveway gate, a gate post is an essential product. A gate post is designed to hold a gate firmly in place in its’ crucial that the post you choose is strong enough to hold the weight of your gate.
All of our gates and side gate posts are made from two sturdy and reliable types of timber.
Scandinavian redwood is our softwood option and offers a beautiful natural colour with minimal knots which ensures wood strength. African Iroko is our stunning, sturdy hardwood that comes in a range of colours and features a unique grain pattern.
Wall Posts
Wall posts are used in conjunction with fences and gates to create enclosed spaces in residential and commercial properties. These posts are secured to the wall of your property using gate ironmongery products and offer a range of benefits:
Structural Support
Fixing your gate post to the exterior wall of your property offers an extra layer of support to keep your gate secure and in place. Using a wall post will help prevent your fence or gate from collapsing over time.
Enhanced Security
When a side gate post made from sturdy materials is installed a barrier is created around your property that prevents unwanted entry. This is especially crucial for homes with significant valuables or private land owners.
Greater Privacy
A wall post allows for more privacy compared to standard garden posts. As the post is fixed directly to the wall, there is no gap in fencing or gates. This creates an effective visual block that protects the privacy of your garden or home.
Steel Gate Post
A steel gate post is ideal for use with steel or metal gates and provides a great alternative for those looking for something different to wood. Steel is a sleek and modern option to use in your fencing and gating and has a range of benefits.
Minimal Upkeep
Compared to wood, steel is a fairly low maintenance material option. A steel gate requires only occasional cleaning whilst wood posts need staining and sealing to maintain their upkeep.
Long Lasting
Galvanised steel is an extremely durable material that is resistant to rot, pests and weather damage. This makes it the perfect choice for gating and post solutions in outdoor environments like fields, gardens and farms. This long lasting metal can withstand the outdoors for around 70 years, meaning you’ll save money on replacement and upkeep.
Compatibility
Steel posts aren’t just for use with metal gates and are compatible with a range of other materials including wood. You can attach both softwood gates and hardwood gates onto a steel post to create an aesthetically pleasing structure that offers extra support for your gate.
Wooden Gate Post
Whether you choose hardwood or softwood for your timber gate post, wood remains a beautiful, versatile option that’s easy to install and lasts for years. There are some great reasons to opt for wooden posts including:
Customisable
Wood is a highly versatile material that gives you a canvas to customise your gate and fencing to match your property. Wood treatments can be used to give posts a stunning natural colour whilst paint can also be used to personalise your garden gates and fencing in any colour you want.
Sustainable
Wood is a great eco friendly option for your gate and side gate posts. All of the timber used in our products is sourced responsibly and sustainably. When you opt for wooden fencing, you’re helping to preserve the environment. We’re partnered with Ecologi, who plant one tree for every order we receive.
Curb Appeal
Adding a well maintained, visually appealing wooden gate or fencing around your property can help boost the curb appeal and aesthetic of your property. This is a great way to boost the value of your home and helps to attract buyers when you’re ready to sell.
