Questions people ask
Do aluminium gates rust?
No. Aluminium does not rust, and powder-coated gates keep their colour for many years.
Is composite fencing worth the extra cost?
It costs more than timber at the start, but it does not rot or need treating, so it often works out cheaper over its life.
Do I need permission for front gates?
Gates and fences next to a road can need planning permission if they are over 1 metre high. We can help you check.
