Garden gate transformation

Hawker Joinery
6 years ago

One of the things we love about our line of work is that we can make a big impact not only to the interior of a house, but also the exterior. The brief from our client was to design and create a bespoke garden gate that is hard-wearing but simple. At the same time, they wanted it to be a feature of their garden. We instantly thought that European Prime Grade Oak was the way to go. European Oak is not only a durable hard wood suitable for external use, but it also has a beautiful grain structure.

We finished this item by coating it in a clear satin UV Osmo Oil, which gives it a smooth finish and emphasises the oak grain.

    Thanks for the comments! Danny, For the design, creation and installation this solid oak gate was around £1,200. Prices depend on material, size and ironmongery. Do get in touch if you have a particular project in mind and would like a more customised quote!

    In the real world most people don't have £1200 for a gate. This gate £50.

    Thanks for the comment, this bespoke gate is made from prime grade European Oak and handmade so the cost is always going to be more than an off the shelf item. We pride ourselves on high quality bespoke items and a premium level of customer service which is reflected in the price.
    Appreciate all the positive comments from everyone. We have plenty more photos coming up, we hope you like these also.
