These gates can be made from iroko, pine, cedar, oak wood and stained with diffrent stains like sikkens or osmo. The metal work can be painted black, galvanised and powder coated at the customer specifications. Paul is very helpful the price is excellent and being an engineer myself the quality of the gate is fantastic. I think due to his outstanding quality and price he has lots of orders too many orders so if you don't mind waiting it is the perfect choice. It took some time to receive the gate but well worth waiting for.
