Garden Gates in Sheerness: planning the work
Sheerness sits on the Isle of Sheppey, where an exposed garden entrance may need more attention to wind and weather than a sheltered side passage. For a timber gate, measure the opening at several points and check the posts before choosing a leaf. The ground clearance must still work when surfaces are wet or uneven. Material, fixings and finish should be chosen for the exposure of the specific entrance, not just for the look of the timber sample.
Searches for gate fitting around Sheerness include supplied-and-fitted garden or driveway gates. Those are different structural questions: a wider, heavier leaf places different loads on posts and hinges. The swing direction, nearby path and latch position should be planned before fabrication. If the existing posts move or show rot at ground level, simply hanging a new gate on them is unlikely to be a lasting answer. A manual timber gate should not be confused with an automated entrance system.
Check whether access for materials is through a narrow side path or directly from the road. Salt-laden air can affect metal hardware as well as the gate itself, so discuss suitable fixings and continuing maintenance. Where the entrance is shared or opens toward a public way, verify rights and any restrictions before ordering. A useful quote should identify post work, hinges, latch, finish and removal of the old gate separately, so the proposed installation is clear.

Garden Gates in Sheerness — Your Questions Answered
Can a timber garden gate cope with coastal exposure in Sheerness?
With appropriate design, fixings and maintenance it can, but the exposure and drainage at the actual entrance should be assessed.
Must old posts be replaced when fitting a new gate?
Not necessarily. Check for rot, movement and whether they can carry the new leaf before deciding.
Is a driveway gate the same as a side gate?
No. Its span, weight, posts and swing clearance can differ substantially; measure the whole entrance.
