What Surfaces Do Wooden Garden Gates Work On?

Wooden garden gates from Woodland Gates are suitable for installation on various surfaces including concrete, gravel, and soil. We ensure the right fittings and materials like galvanised hinges and stainless steel bolts are used depending on the surface to guarantee stability.

For installations on soil, we may use postcrete for secure post anchoring, while for gravel, compacting the base can enhance gate support. Our gates can accommodate uneven terrains through adjustable hinges and customised sizing.

However, they are not suitable for loose or uneven surfaces without preparatory groundwork such as levelling or the addition of a compacted base. Proper surface preparation ensures longevity and function, minimising the risk of misalignment or sagging over time.
