Hi there
I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.

I am looking to get wooden gates for my driveway, either hard or soft wood (depending on price). I got a quote of about 2k from Lenister Timber Products, but to be honest, didn't expect/want to pay this much.

Does anyone have any recommendations ?

I'm based in Dublin.

Thanks

I too looked at Lenister Timber gates but ended up getting same style gates cheaper from local timber mill, in Wexford but if you ask around you may find one in Dublin. The crowd i got them from dont advertise as its a side line so try giving any in your area a call.
 
You could try

Steel & Wood Craft Ltd

Celbridge

They put up hardwood side gates for us. Nice job and am happy, but the hardwood isnt cheap....

Thanks for all the info.

Senara & JPSaltee - just wondering if either companies fitted the gates for you or did you have to arrange it yourself ?

Thanks

Curious as to what sort of price was the mill? Were they competitive?

Thanks

Welcome to AAM Noel. You will need to contact Sheeran's yourself for a quote. Advertising is not allowed on AAM, so the above post was not from them.

With regards to sourcing gates in Tullamore, I bought a pair a few years ago from Standish's: http://www.standishsawmills.ie/ in Roscrea and they are well made. They do supply only so you will need to fit them.
The gates are quite heavy so do a bit of homework on how you are going to hang them. I have brick piers which were no way strong enough so I had to get galvanised steel posts made to go beside the brick piers.
Here's two more suppliers but I dont know anything about them:

We got big teak gates from [broken link removed] and I thoroughly recommend them. I think they look nicer than a lot of similar gates I've seen. They have been fantastic bout follow up sevice also - nothing wrong with the gates but after a few months the bolts werent lining up well due to natural changes in the wood and they came promptly to adjust it and they've been helpful over phone too - I've no business connection with them obviously.

Have to say, wooden gates make a fair bit of noise when its windy - if doing it again I might go for a design that had some openings in it to let wind blow through or something to stop them banging a lot. I don't think theres any way around it with the solid design we got though.
