Typically, there are three types of wooden gates – pedestrian, side entrance and driveway gates.

A pedestrian gate is for people on foot, such as a garden or pathway gate. Pedestrian gates are not always necessary and tend to be decorative, adding an aesthetic feature to an outside space rather than security.

A side entrance gate prioritises property access and security, normally found discreetly between or behind houses. As a result, side entrance gates are larger and more durable than pedestrian gates.

Driveway gates are designed to provide or restrict vehicle access to properties. Its purpose as a vehicle gateway makes driveway gates much wider than pedestrian and side entrance gates.

Some property owners will integrate access controls into their driveway gates to open and close automatically.

Driveway gates opening outwards are prohibited in the UK when obstructing access to public space, as stated in The Highways Act 1980. Therefore, if you want your driveway gate to open outwards, it can’t obstruct public areas like a road or pavement.

Property owners can install gates across their driveways as long as their driveway gate doesn’t obstruct access to public areas. Further restrictions to driveway gate installations will apply to listed properties and conservation areas.

Most driveways take 3 to 7 days to complete, depending on the size, groundwork and materials used. Larger or more complex installations may take longer, especially if new drainage is required.
