Hardwood Sliding Gates

Why Choose Hardwood Sliding Gates?

• • Additional Space: Conventional swing gates can’t be used for some smaller areas as they need lots of room to open completely. Sliding gates however travel horizontally in line with your wall or fence, allowing homes with less space to remain protected and make the most of your outdoor space.

• Increased Security: One of the main reasons for purchasing a sliding gate is security. An expertly constructed hardwood gate creates a solid barrier surrounding your home, driveway or garden. Models like our Lymm hardwood sliding gate are the perfect deterrent to would-be intruders, offering a high, gap-free barrier combining height with sturdy construction to provide complete protection. 

• Increase Curb Appeal: In addition to being practical, hardwood sliding gates have a modern and fashionable look. The allure of natural wood adds a simple yet stylish refinement to any exterior, improving your home's overall curb appeal. Models like our Chester hardwood sliding gate feature a stunning unique design that enhances your property without compromising on security. You can also customise your hardwood gates using wood treatments in a range of colours to add an extra personal touch to your gate.

• • Convenient and Inclusive: Hardwood sliding gates offer brilliant convenience, especially for those with mobility issues. Automated features allow sliding gates to be operated remotely using your phone, a keypad or a controller. This means your exit and entry can be made hassle-free, avoiding any walking to and from the house or car to open the gate.

• Resilient and Durable: The quality of our materials is something we take great pride in at Stellar Gates. Every one of our hardwood gates is made from premium-grade, sustainably sourced iroko timber, which is renowned for its exceptional quality and longevity.

Where Can You Use a Hardwood Sliding Gate?

• Residential Properties: Hardwood sliding gates can be utilised all around the exterior of your home. You can keep your car protected with a sliding gate for your driveway, or allow for convenient access to your garden whilst maintaining security and a stylish look. You can also use a hardwood side gate for side access to your garden or alleyway.

• Businesses: Sliding hardwood gates offer a safe and professional-looking entrance to offices, warehouses, and other corporate buildings. These gates are also perfect for creating secure parking areas if you have an on-site car park, ensuring only authorised cars can enter.

• Farms and Rural Estates: Hardwood sliding gates offer large estates and farms an easy barrier between your property and land. They can also help to keep cattle secure alongside fences and trespassers/countryside walkers off private property. The sliding mechanism may also make it easier to open and close barn doors in high-traffic areas like cattle stations. 

How to Take Care of a Hardwood Sliding Gate

• Oil and Lubricate Sliders: Unlike many other gates, hardwood sliding gates require an additional step of maintenance. The mechanisms and runners should be lubricated to ensure smooth gliding. If the gate is automated, any motors should be regularly inspected.
• Wood Treatments: To protect hardwood gates against moisture, UV rays, and other weather damage, use a premium wood oil or treatment. This reduces the chance and rate of fading, cracking, or warping over time.
• Strong Locks and Hinges: A heavy hardwood gate needs to sit on sturdy hinges to avoid bending and buckling over time. Sturdy gate ironmongery made from galvanised steel will keep your gate firmly in place on its hinges.
