Traditional vs Contemporary Gates

Rural properties across Burford, Evesham, and Stratford-upon-Avon suit timber gates — five-bar, ledge-and-brace, or framed designs that complement stone walls. Contemporary homes in Cheltenham and Moreton-in-Marsh are better served by powder-coated aluminium or steel gates in bold colours.

Size, Position, and Swing

Gate size must allow comfortable vehicle access while remaining proportionate to the boundary. Swing gates require clearance to open; sliding gates suit driveways where space is limited. Plex Group surveys all gate installations before ordering — checking post positions, ground conditions, and access requirements.

Security and Automation

Automation adds significant value. Keypad, remote fob, or smartphone-controlled systems are available for both timber and metal gates. Plex Group manages complete installation including groundwork, post installation, and electrical connections across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Oxfordshire.
