Take measurements of the top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement.
Garden and Side Gate measurements
To calculate your gate width, use the instructions below and make the necessary deductions.
Garden/Side Gate: Minus 30mm (15mm each side)
These gaps are covered by the beads attached to our wall posts.
Wall posts are 45mm thick, so take this into account for your brick to brick size.
2x posts are 90mm in total.
Example: For a side gate with brick to brick size of 970mm requiring two wall posts either side.
970 – 90 – 30 = 850mm
Driveway gates measurements
Driveway Gates: Minus 45mm (15mm gaps each side and in the centre)
These gaps are covered by the beads attached to our wall posts.
Wall posts for double gates are 70mm thick, so take this into account for your brick to brick size.
2x posts are 140mm in total.
Example: For a driveway gate with a brick to brick size of 3 metres requiring two wall posts either side.
3535 – 140 – 45 = 3350mm
Gate height
The height is from the bottom of the gate to the top of the stiles (horns) of the gate.
Driveway gates with curved tops are measured from the side stiles, rising into the centre. Lymm and Appleton design gates increase around 100mm-150mm to the centre depending on the width. Swan neck and Chester design gates increase 200mm to the centre.
