Here at Gate-A-Mation we offer different types of timber electric gates - for inspiration please visit our gallery of timber gate images. Our gates can be made from different types of soft or hardwood, as well as special timber materials such as Accoya or Tricoya, etc. All timber products have natural features that allow it to move and hydrate or dehydrate, subject to exposure to wet conditions. These inherent challenges often have an effect upon the cosmetic appeal, stability or long term performance of the automation and customers are recommended to consider these characteristics when choosing such materials.
