Not Just Your Average 6 Bar Gate!

Here we have a beautifully hand crafted 6 bar gate, finished in kiln dried oak. Made by the talented Mr Weir, who we are very proud to be working with now on a full time basis.  All the intermediate posts have been meticulously morticed so that the rails may pass through them and into each style, rather than just layered up and bolted together, this gate is a real work of art!

Keep following the blog for updates on our new Garden Joinery Company - Bay and Green.  We have recently completed the Joinery Workshop and are technically open for business.  But like all things of a certain quality or calibre, it is not worth rushing.  So once we have got the website up and running, I will let you all know.  Don't worry, it will be worth the wait!

And as for the Gate furniture...you didn't expect us to get something off the shelf did you?  At Orchard Priory, we pride ourselves on our design and ability to see that design through to any build project.  So designing a hinge set which minimises space loss and holds the gate tight up against the post was just another challenge which we relished.  But we didn't stop there.  The hinge is also finished in Brushed Stainless Steel and has been recessed into the top rail of the 6 Bar Gate, so that it is smooth and flush, right down to the machined headed bolts, specifically made for us, that hold it in place.

Coupled with the fact that we have automated this 3.5 metre wide gate, our client was over the moon with this project.  Well done team!
