Security is another vital aspect of gate installation. Wooden gates from brands like Wickes ensure both privacy and security in your home and garden. Their Dip Treated timber comes with a 10-year Anti-Rot guarantee, adding to their appeal.

The standard size for a full-height wooden gate in the UK is approximately 6ft x 3ft. For areas with deer, specialized Deer Gates are effective without compromising the fence’s effectiveness.
