Garden Entrance Gates

Handcrafted Timber Side Gates

At Oakland Gates, we design and manufacture premium timber side gates that combine traditional craftsmanship with exceptional durability. Every gate is handcrafted to order in our Essex workshop using high-quality joinery-grade timber and traditional construction methods, ensuring a gate that not only enhances your property’s appearance but stands the test of time.

Our side gate collection includes a range of classic and contemporary designs, from the elegant Needham Gate and traditional Dedham Gate to the timeless Lawford, Ardleigh, Aldeburgh and Elmswell ranges. Whether you’re looking for a secure garden entrance, a stylish pathway gate or a bespoke side access solution, you’ll find a gate to suit your home.

Built to Last

Unlike mass-produced garden gates, every Oakland Gate is constructed using robust framing, premium timber and proven joinery techniques. Our gates are available with either a standard 95mm x 45mm frame or upgraded premium 120mm x 70mm frame for larger openings and enhanced strength.

Choose from:

• Joinery Grade Scandinavian Redwood
• European Oak
• Sapele Hardwood
• Iroko Hardwood

Each timber option offers its own unique character, appearance and longevity, allowing you to create a gate that perfectly complements your property.

Made to Measure Options

Every property is different, which is why we offer a wide range of standard sizes alongside bespoke made-to-measure gates. Simply select your preferred width, height, timber species and optional upgrades to create a gate tailored to your exact requirements.

Available options include:

• Premium heavy-duty framing
• Hardwood timber upgrades
• Adjustable hinges
• Premium ironmongery packs
• Osmo protective oil finishes
• Automation preparation

Traditional Craftsmanship

Our gates are handcrafted by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques developed through years of experience. Attention to detail, quality materials and precise construction ensure each gate delivers both visual appeal and long-term performance.

Whether installed alongside a cottage garden, period property, contemporary home or rural entrance, an Oakland Gate provides security, privacy and kerb appeal in equal measure.
