Strong Steel Frame

The foundation of this gate is a robust powder-coated steel frame, engineered for durability and long-lasting performance. A steel frame ensures:

Strength and Security – Solid protection for your property.
Longevity – Resistant to weather and daily use.
Low Maintenance – Powder-coated finish for added durability.

Timber Cladding for Natural Appeal

To complement the strength of steel, the gate is clad with close boarded timber panels. This gives a classic, natural finish that blends beautifully with both modern and traditional properties.

Benefits of Timber Cladding:

Warm and Natural Look – Adds character and kerb appeal.
Privacy – Fully boarded design keeps the driveway secure and discreet.
Versatility – Complements brickwork, fencing, and landscaping.

Why Choose a Close Boarded Steel and Timber Gate?

This design is ideal for homeowners who want the traditional look of wood combined with the strength and resilience of steel. It offers:

High Security – Strong steel frame with automated access control.
Kerb Appeal – A timeless design that enhances property value.
Privacy – Fully boarded cladding keeps your driveway hidden.
Ease of Use – Fully automated system for everyday convenience.

A close boarded steel framed and timber clad automated entrance gate delivers the best of both worlds—durable engineering and classic styling. At Pace Electric Gates, we design and install bespoke solutions that perfectly match your property, providing security, convenience, and long-term value.
