Frequently Asked Questions

What is a side panel?

Our side panels are stationary wooden panels designed to sit alongside our gates to either fill a gap or extend the width of an entrance. Our made-to-measure service ensures that the side panels perfectly match the size, style and design of your new gate. They’re most commonly used when the opening is too wide for just a gate, or to create a completed look. 

What is the optimal width for a side panel?

We can manufacture the width of your side panel to match your wooden gates, with our friendly expert team providing their knowledge on the best width that will work with your gates. Our made-to-measure service means that we can custom manufacture side panels to the millimetre that you need.

If you need support with how to measure up to suit your gate project, please contact our friendly team who will be happy to help. 

How do I measure for a side panel?

Here are our three simple steps to help you measure the width for your new side panel: 

  1. Measure the total space you have in between your posts. Let’s use an example of 1000mm.
  2. Minus a 5mm expansion gap. This is to allow your side panel to fit in neatly between the posts and account for any expansion from weathering. For example, the new total measurement would be 995mm.
  3. Finally, this will leave you with the total measurement for you to order. In our example, this would be 995mm.

Here are our three simple steps to help you measure the height: 

  1. Measure the total height from the floor to the top of the panel.
  2. Minus a 30mm expansion gap. This is to allow the panel to expand from any weathering and to keep it from sitting on the ground.
  3. Finally, these measurements will leave you with a total height for your side panel.

We will manufacture your side panel to the exact height and width measurements you order, without deducting any tolerances or gaps. Therefore, it’s important you take these off in your own measurements. 

For any further guidance on how to measure for your side panel and match your gate, please contact our friendly team today. 

How do I install a side panel?

Installing a side panel can be challenging, especially as they are stationary and need to be securely fixed to a solid post on either side. Have a read through our free installation guide in regards to fixing our products to a post. For any further assistance, please contact our team.
