Metal Gates
At Nottingham Metalworks we can make and install a variety of metal gates from large driveway gates to side entrance gates right down to front garden gates that may only be about 3 feet high.
The term metal gate has a much broader meaning these days than it used to 10 or so years ago. Previously 'metal' would have been
interchanged with wrought iron and would have meant a gate that was mostly comprised of vertical metal bars with a number of horizontal bars keeping the vertical bars in place. It would mainly be a see-through gate so not a choice for privacy.
These days metal gates also encompass metal and composite and metal and wood gates - where the posts and structural frame of the gate is provided by metal but a solid infill is provided by wood or composite, or sometimes UPVC.
Whichever of these metal gates you are after we are able to fabricate them. Due to our bespoke manufacturing operation as well as using our preferred suppliers for wood and composite infills if you have found a unique wood or composite that you simply must have we can accommodate that too. Simply get in touch to discuss exactly what you want.

Metal Driveway Gates Nottingham
If you are looking for metal driveway gates only this will typically mean a steel-only driveway gate or can also be a term used for wrought iron driveway gates too.
The bulk of the gate will be made from mild steel with decorative bar toppers included which will be typically made from wrought iron. Steel is cheaper than wrought iron but once painted will look almost identical and will last just as long which is why most meta gates are actually made from steel. Properly primed and painted they will last for many years. Since metal driveway gates are quite see through they are generally lighted than composite gates and wooden infill gates so are often hinge fitted although if your slope doesn't allow the space for the gates to be opened wide enough we can make a single metal sliding driveway gate to ensure entry and exit is strightforward.
Metal Composite Gates
Metal composite gates are often simply referred to as composite gates however, there will almost always be elements of metal involved - especially for driveway gates due to the overall weight.
The metal frame provides strength to the structure and also aesthetically enhances the overall look of the gate, especially if the composite and frame are a different colour as it makes the gate more interesting to look at.
Also, the metal frame allows more detailing and ornamental options to be within the top of the metal frame such as a trellis, or for additions to the top of the gate such as spear or ball tops.
The composite infill we use will generally come from a couple of local composite suppliers and we find that between them they cover almost all of the colour and finish options most people will want for their gates.
Metal Framed Wooden Gates
When we construct our wooden composite driveway gates it follows almost the same process as for composites. Sometimes when customers have asked for wood they actually wanted wood effect composite. Whether it is the wood effect or a metal framed timber gate we provide the same quality of surround to provide a quality gate.
When using real timber often a hardwood such as Oak, Cedar, Redwood and Cypress will be used and whilst these hardwoods are much better are weathering the elements than softwoods having a metal surround will extend their lifespan further. As well as that Most people will agree that the contrast of metal framing around the wood looks good too. Depending on the style of gate and use of metal the versatility means that you have have a very traditional, medieval or gothic style door or a very modern contemporary one too. Simply discuss your design aspirations and we're sure to be able to produce the ideal metal framed timber gate.
