Project story
This Wickford project involved the installation of two separate sets of automated hardwood driveway gates for a new residential development.
A property developer had constructed two new houses on the same plot, each requiring secure driveway access while maintaining a consistent visual style across the development.
To achieve this, matching pairs of Iroko hardwood swing gates were installed at both entrances, designed to complement the architecture of the new homes and the surrounding brick boundary walls.
Iroko was selected for its strength, durability, and rich natural appearance, making it an ideal material for high-quality driveway gates that will withstand the UK climate while maintaining a premium finish.
Each property received its own pair of automated swing gates, carefully installed and aligned to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
The installation included:
• Two pairs of Iroko hardwood swing driveway gates
• Precision installation between new brick entrance piers
• Underground gate automation systems for discreet operation
• Safety photocells and access controls
• Full electrical setup and commissioning
By installing matching automated gates for both properties, the development benefits from a cohesive entrance design while providing secure and convenient vehicle access for each home.
The finished gates provide modern automated access while maintaining a natural hardwood aesthetic that complements the new-build homes.
