Configuration Guide
Height
Height will rise or fall 30mm to the centre*
Here are our three simple steps to help you measure the height for your new gate:
- Measure the total height from the floor to the top of the gate post.
- Minus 30mm for the clearance gap below the gate. This is to allow the gate to open freely and not catch.
- Finally, these measurements will leave you with a total height for your gate.
*Please note that our Bow and Omega style single gates will rise approximately 30mm in the centre above the gate posts. Do not include this into your calculation.
Example:
Total Measured Space = 1500mm
Minus Clearance Gap: 1500mm – 30mm = 1470mm
Total Height to Order = 1470mm
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
Front View
Here are our four simple steps to help you measure the width for your new gate:
- Measure the total space you have for everything to fit into, including the new gate, 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, totalling 20mm. This is so that the gate will not catch and can open smoothly.
- Finally, these measurements will leave you with a total width for your gate.
When taking the width measurement, make sure you are measuring from the front view.
Example:
Total Measured Space = 1500mm
Minus Posts: 1500mm – 290mm (2 x posts at 145mm each) = 1210mm
Minus Clearance Gap: 1210mm – 20mm (10mm each side) = 1190mm
Total Width to Order = 1190mm
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.
Left & Right Hang
For single gates, choosing a left or right hang simply indicates which side the hinges will sit on. This will affect where the gate will be when it is open.
For example, if you open a left hang gate, it will sit on your left hand side as you pass through from the front view.
Please refer to the diagram for a visual representation which shows the gate opening inwards. If you are planning for your gate to open outwards and away from your property, you will require hinge packer(s) to allow the hinges to sit on the front of the gate.
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
This hardwood is an extremely durable timber that is naturally resistant to decay and rot, even before any treatment is applied. This is a beautiful premium grade hardwood made to last for years to come. Sourced from the west coast of tropical Africa.
Treatments
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.
- At-Home DIY Finish: You purchase the coating to apply yourself.
These applications are also available for our colour matching service, where our treatments can be colour matched to suit your gates.
Factory Finish
We are proud to offer a full factory finish to your new wooden gates or garage doors. Our team will professionally spray two high-build coats of your chosen treatment, ensuring ultimate protection and visual impact. Your new product will be sent to you fully treated and ready to install.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Installing a new single wooden gate can be a challenge. Check out our free installation guide to help you, covering all the tips, tricks, best practices and challenges to avoid. For any further assistance, please contact our team.
Standard single pedestrian and garden gates should be around 900mm wide to allow for clear access. This includes measurements to allow for expansion gaps and posts. The maximum width for a single gate we can manufacture at Wortley Brothers is 3000mm. Common heights range from three to six feet.
Our single gates are designed to open either inwards or outwards, and 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 gates to open outwards, you will need to include a hinge packer to your order.
