The Challenge

A homeowner looking for electric hardwood gates in Albourne needed a system that combined style with genuine everyday functionality. The brief included automated vehicle gates with independent in and out access, a matching pedestrian gate for visitors and deliveries, and a discreet fencing solution to keep their dog safely contained – all without compromising the natural feel of the property.

Our Approach

We recommended Iroko hardwood swing gates, supported by solid oak gate posts. Iroko is an excellent choice for automated driveway gates – naturally durable, low maintenance, and attractive in appearance. The oak posts complemented the timber and provided a strong, stable foundation suited to the weight and movement of automated gates.

To meet the access requirements, we installed separate automated in and out vehicle gates, allowing smooth entry and exit without reversing or waiting. A matching pedestrian gate was fitted alongside, maintaining visual continuity while providing a practical access point for foot traffic and deliveries.

For the boundary, we proposed meshed chestnut post and rail fencing. This gave the traditional, open appearance of a rural fence while the galvanised mesh provided the containment needed to keep the family dog secure – practical without feeling heavy or enclosed.

The Installation

The Iroko gates were manufactured to size and hung from carefully positioned oak gate posts, set to suit the layout and levels of the driveway. The timber was treated with a protective oil to preserve its natural colour and improve resilience against the elements.

Roger Technology automation was installed on both sets of vehicle gates, configured for independent in and out operation. Each system was calibrated and tested on site to ensure smooth, consistent performance. The pedestrian gate was installed nearby, keeping the entrance cohesive in both appearance and function.

The chestnut post and rail fencing with galvanised mesh was run along the open stretches of the boundary, providing a secure and natural-looking perimeter. The result is a fencing solution that sits comfortably within the property’s surroundings while doing a very practical job.
