Configuration Guide
Height
Height will rise or fall ~ 250mm to the centre*
Here are our three simple steps to help you measure the height for your new gates:
- Measure the total height from the floor to the top of the gate post.
- Minus 30mm for the clearance gap below the gates. This is to allow the gates to open freely and not catch.
- Finally, these measurements will leave you with a total height for your gates.
*Please note that our Bow and Omega style double gates will rise approximately 250mm in the centre above the gate posts. Do not include this into your calculation.
Example:
Total Measured Space = 1800mm
Minus Clearance Gap: 1800mm – 30mm = 1770mm
Total Height to Order = 1770mm
We will manufacture your gate to the exact height measurement you order, without deducting any tolerances or gaps. Therefore, it’s important you take these off in your own measurements.
Width
Here are our four simple steps to help you measure the width for your new gates:
- Measure the total space you have for everything to fit into, including the new gates, posts, and a clearance gap.
- Minus the widths of any posts you require from the previous measurement.
- Minus your clearance gap, which will be 10mm each side plus an extra 10mm between the gates, totalling 30mm. This is so that the gates will not catch and can open smoothly.
- Finally, these measurements will leave you with a total width for your gates.
For double gates, the total measurement of the space where the gate will be is indicative of both gate leafs, and you will receive two gates that total the measurement you provide. For example, if you insert 3000mm width into the configuration (a final measurement you have taken, which accounts for expansion gaps), you will receive two 1500mm wide gate leafs.
When taking the width measurement, make sure you are measuring from the front view.
Example:
Total Measured Space = 3000mm Minus Posts: 3000mm – 290mm (2 x posts at 145mm each) = 2710mm Minus Clearance Gap: 2710mm – 30mm (10mm each side, 10mm between the doors) = 2680mm Total Width to Order = 2680mm
We will manufacture your gate to the exact width measurement you order, without deducting any tolerances or gaps. Therefore, it’s important you take these off in your own measurements.
Wood Types
At Wortley Brothers, we offer two premium wood types. Both Scandinavian Redwood and African Iroko Hardwood are premium grade wood.
Our wooden gates and garage doors are handmade and manufactured in-house using these wood types by our team of skilled experts.
Scandinavian Redwood
This premium grade timber experiences minimal moving, swelling, shrinking or warping, which ensures that your new product will stand the test of time.
Our Scandinavian Redwood costs us 35% more than standard timber – a cost which we carry ourselves and do not reflect back in our prices to you.
African Iroko Hardwood

Our range of natural stains and colours for your wooden gates or garage doors are available to purchase in two applications:
- Premium Factory Finish: We apply your chosen treatment in-house before delivery.

These applications are also available for our colour matching service, where our treatments can be colour matched to suit your gates.
Home Finish
Our home finish treatment is a true DIY application. There’s no preparation needed; simply apply this treatment directly onto your gates using a brush or sprayer. After two hours, apply a second coat for ultimate protection. Dried and ready to use within a few hours.

The best height and width for a wooden gate depends on its intended use.
Double gates are a standard solution for driveways, and should be wide enough to accommodate both vehicle and pedestrian access. An optimal total width is usually between 2700m and 3600m to provide enough clearance for most vehicles to pass through comfortably without the gates swinging out too wide.
Height is often a matter of privacy – taller 1800mm (6-foot) gates offer seclusion, while 1200mm (4-foot) gates provide a welcoming, open feel while still securing the boundary.
Our gates are designed to open either inwards or outwards. The placement of the hinge during installation will decide how the gate will open. For example, from the front view, the hinge will either be flush against the front of the post and gate to open outwards, or flush against the back of the post and gate to open inwards.
If you are planning for your gate to open outwards, you will need to include a hinge packer to your order.
Our garage doors feature a rebate, which means they only open either inwards or outwards. This also gives you a freedom of choice of whether the left or right door will open first. Please contact us if you require more support about this.
