Useful Information About the Dalby Driveway Gates

Width Dimensions: Wooden driveway gates are sold as a pair and the width dimensions shown within the drop-down menu at the top of the page refers to the physical width of both gates (when placed side by side). Each pair comprises of the following:

  • 7ft pair = 2 x 3ft 6”

  • 8ft pair = 2 x 4ft

  • 9ft pair = 2 x 4ft 6”

  • 10ft pair = 2 x 5ft

  • 11ft pair = 2 x 5ft 6”

  • 12ft pair = 2 x 6ft  

Height Dimensions: The physical height detailed in the product description is measured from the underside of the gates to the highest point. No allowance has been made for any ground clearance. We recommend leaving 50mm (2”) when installing however this is a guide only and may vary according to site constraints (such as sloping driveways, steps or other similar obstructions within the swinging radius of the gates).

Fittings: The hinges, latch and drop bolt are not included as standard. If you need to add these items to your order you will need to select the appropriate fitting pack from the menu above.

Posts: We recommend using wooden posts when installing the gates. If you are fitting in between and existing support structure (such as masonry pillars) the use of wall mounted posts is acceptable. Alternatively, for freestanding installations, in ground posts will need to be used. In both instances, the gap formed between the posts should be 40mm wider than the physical width of the gates you order. This will then provide the optimal spacing for the hinges and to allow for expansion of the timber throughout the seasons.

Finish: Dalby wooden driveway gates are handmade from smooth planed Scandinavian Redwood. This timber has not been treated to offer protection against the elements. It is therefore essential that all exposed surfaces are stained or painted prior to installation to ensure the best level of protection is achieved.

Installation: When installing the product, you should use appropriate size hook and band hinges. To ensure the best level of support, they should be mounted to the top and bottom horizontal rails. For inward opening layouts, the hinges should be fixed to the back face or for outward opening layouts they will need to fit to the front face of the gates. To find out more information please check out the general installation guide.

What Size Opening Will  Be Required Between the Wooden Posts?

If you are fitting the wooden gates between existing timber posts (with the hinges fitted on the back face of the gate/post), then we recommend the following space is available.​

Physical Width of the Pair of Gates Width of Opening Required Between Posts
2134mm 2174mm
2438mm 2478mm
2743mm 2783mm
3050mm 3090mm
3350mm 3390mm
3660mm 3700mm

NB* sizes are based on the options shown in the drop-down menu.

What If I Need to Add Wooden Posts? 

It is critical to account for the extra space necessary for installations that require wooden posts.

The calculation is performed in the following way.

Physical width of gates + width of posts (2 x 100mm is sufficient if using wall-mounted posts or 2 x 150mm if freestanding posts are utilised)

+ 40mm (space needed for hinges, latch and opening tolerances).

= Total Overall Space Required

Example:

A pair of 2438mm gates combined with 2 x 150mm posts will require a total overall space of 2778mm.

What Size Hinges and What Fittings Do I Need to Complete the Installation?

We recommend using 18" or 24" hook and band hinges (depending on the size of the gates you order). We also suggest you add 1 x ring latch and a minimum of 1 x drop bolt to hold the gates closed.
