Set the width and height to suit your required gate size, secure the steel sections, then fix your chosen timber facing to the frame. Instead of constructing the structural gate frame entirely from timber, the GateMate steel frame provides the main rigid structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis makes it an excellent option where you want to build a made-to-measure timber gate while reducing the risk of the frame moving out of square as the timber changes with the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable size range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mm to 1200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1250mm to 1950mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vertical and horizontal sections telescope, so one kit can be configured across a wide range of common pedestrian and garden gate sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSteel construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outer telescopic sections are manufactured from 35mm x 35mm square hollow steel section, with 30mm x 30mm inner telescopic sections.
