It was an absolute privilege to be involved in several fabrication projects on this phenomenal new build house in north Devon, this automated 4.5 meter sliding gate being one of them.
The customer was looking for an automated steel framed gate that complimented the entrance to their amazing Canadian cedar log built house that offered easy pedestrian and vehicular access as well as zero maintenance and a robust long lasting finish.
Following a site visit, discussions with the contractors building the piers and the customer we opted for a steel framed sliding gate. This option was best suited in this instance as it takes up very little space when opening and gives a much greater turning area for vehicles once in the property.
Being less than 1 mile from the sea, preventing corrosion to steel can be a real challenge so we opted for a galvanised finished and then powder coated in a black/grey finish with an identical ral colour to that of the aluminium windows of the property so ties everything in nicely. The hot dip galvanising process completely covers the steel internally and externally leaving no steel exposed to the sea air.
Clad in cedar boards that were thoroughly coated in a specific undercoat and top coat sealer finished it off nicely and was a perfect way to finish off the entrance to this property and was a privilege to put our small stamp on a phenomenal one of a kind property.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you are looking for a bespoke entrance gate, electric/automated gate, sliding gate, pedestrian or commercial gate for a free quote.
Thanks for looking.
