Description
A pair of arched driveway gates that rise from 820mm at the sides to 1220mm (48in) at the middle, finished with ball finials. Six sizes cover openings of 7ft to 12ft.
Arched driveway gate sizes and fitting
- Gaps (post to post): 2134mm (7ft), 2438mm (8ft), 2743mm (9ft), 3048mm (10ft), 3353mm (11ft) or 3658mm (12ft)
- Side shoulder height 820mm, 1220mm at the centre
- Hinge and latch gaps are already allowed for
Construction and finish
- Solid steel, supplied as a pair
- Frame 25mm x 10mm; infill bars 12mm
- Electro-galvanised, then powder coated black
- Two drop bolts hold the gates open or closed
- Lugs take a padlock with a long shackle
The galvanising and powder coat add rust resistance, but they are not a 100% rust-proof guarantee. Check the finish now and then and touch up any chips with paint. Paint the nuts and bolts after fitting, and keep touching up the hinges and other moving parts. Made-to-measure sizes are available on this range, so ring us for a quote. Burbage normally supplies made-to-measure metal primed only unless agreed otherwise, which means it needs painting.
What’s included
You get hinge angle brackets, bolts, a tip latch and two drop bolts. Screws and wall plugs are not included.
Posts and fixing
Hang the gates on blank metal posts, 50mm or 70mm square and 1500mm long, sold separately. The 50mm post suits the 7ft and 8ft gaps and the 70mm post for any size up to 12ft. The post or brickwork must be strong enough to carry the gate. Blank posts need drilling on site to take the brackets, and you position the brackets to suit. Ask us if the ground slopes.
