Composite Gates Nottingham
Made to measure composite and metal framed gates, built to your opening and fitted across Nottingham.
Composite gates don't warp, rot or need re-treating, which is why they suit a side entrance or driveway that takes weather and daily use. We build every gate to your measurements rather than trimming a stock size, and can colour match it to your fencing so the two read as one run. Send us the width and height plus a photo for a quick provisional price, or book a free measured survey and we'll check the opening, the posts and the ground levels properly.

Composite Gates
Composite gates are being chosen more and more in Nottingham, as well as across the rest of the country. Typically a composite gate, whether a garden gate or a composite driveway gate, will not be 100% composite. The composite boards are framed within metal, which secures them in place. Metal framing is a growing trend for wooden gates too, but it is becoming most popular with composite boards, as you will never have to treat them.
As we provide a bespoke gate service, we can build a gate using almost any composite fence panels. So if you have your heart set on a particular composite, let us know and we'll double check its suitability. Most people are happy with our own selection, but the option is there to make sure you get the garden gate you're after, and we can discuss the best way to build a composite fence with a matching gate.
Composite Garden Gates
When it comes to choosing a composite gate, there are a few decisions to make. Firstly, the composite boards. When our surveyor comes to measure up, he will bring samples of the more popular options. The most popular is our grey embossed composite, which has the texture and look of wood and a more traditional appearance. Our smoother finished boards give a more modern, contemporary look, and as a result they are mostly finished with a flat top.
You can also choose the top of the gate, keeping it plain or finishing it with filigree such as spear tops, which can be painted in a colour of your choice. Below you will also see an example where we have built in a decorative screen.
Then decide whether you want your gate rectangular, arched or even concave at the top. If you have your own ideas we're happy to take them on board, and as every gate is made to measure, we can make it pretty much the way you want. The important part is the fixings, which is why a survey matters: it makes sure the weight of the gate can be supported properly. If it can, we'll make your design choices a reality!
Metal and Composite Gates Nottingham
Virtually all composite gates have a metal frame surround. Almost all our customers choose a black finish on the metal, which gives a very neat frame and helps the overall look. It also provides a robust surround that keeps the composite boards in place as temperatures change and the boards expand and contract a little over the seasons.
The frame is also a strong fixing point for hinges and other ironwork, such as locks and bolts, so once finished you will have a solid gate that needs little to no maintenance for many years. Want something stronger still? See our metal and wrought iron gates.
Composite Side Gates, Small Gates and Double Gates
Most of the composite gates we make are single side gates, built to the exact width of the passage. We also make small gates, such as the 3ft gate above, for front gardens and low boundaries, and pairs of double gates where the opening is wide. Where a gap is too wide for one gate, a fixed composite panel beside it keeps the run neat, and that panel can even carry an integrated post box. Here are some of the composite gates we have made and fitted recently.

Composite Fencing and Gates Nottingham
Here are some of the composite fences and gates we have fitted together in Nottingham. As you will see, there is a wide variety of sizes and ironmongery. Grey composite gates are the most popular, followed by black. The most popular composite panels we use in our gates are embossed grey, followed by smoother anthracite grey, and the same options are there for black too. It's very much down to personal choice, but both look great!

For us it's about providing you with the perfect gate at the best price in Nottingham!
Would you recommend composite gates over wooden ones?
If it is within your budget, yes. Composite gates are more durable than traditional wooden gates. Composite is made from a mixture of materials such as wood fibres and plastic, which makes it highly resistant to rot, warping and insects. Unlike wooden gates, composite gates do not need painting or staining, and they withstand harsh weather without deteriorating. They are also less prone to cracking or splitting, and rather than being hung on wooden posts they are fixed to steel posts. Overall, a composite gate offers a longer lifespan and less upkeep than a traditional wooden gate.
What are your composite garden gates made of?
We almost always use composite fence panels, rather than composite deck boards, and occasionally composite wall panels, with a welded steel surround finished in black high durability paint. The ironmongery on a composite gate often includes a key lock as well as a bolt lock.
What is your most popular composite gate?
Currently our most popular composite garden gate is a rectangular, flat topped black metal frame with grey embossed composite panels set vertically.
Are composite gates more expensive than wooden gates?
Yes. Composite gates are typically 2 to 3 times the price of a wooden gate. The composite boards cost more to manufacture than timber, and because they are set in a metal surround, each gate needs steel and the skills of a welder, who may also need to fit and weld on site to get a perfect install. The exact price depends on the size, the design and the panels and frame you choose, so send us your measurements and a photo for a provisional quote.
Can composite gates be customised to match my home or garden?
Yes. Our composite gates can be customised to match the style of your home or garden, especially a composite fence or composite decking. As we make them ourselves, you can vary the panels, the frame and therefore the shape, along with the ironmongery, which also influences the style of your gate. Be as creative as you like, and we'll advise on any design that could be a problem for fitting the gap, installing or longevity.
