Frequently asked questions

Do wooden driveway gates last?

Well-made pressure-treated timber gates last many years outdoors, especially with occasional re-treating or painting to protect against the weather. They need a bit more upkeep than metal or aluminium, but give a warm, traditional look that many prefer. A solid frame is key to stopping them sagging.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Featheredge Wooden Pedestrian Gate (our score 7.7/10) - A solid driveway gate (wooden, single / pedestrian gate) for security and kerb appeal..
