Turned Heel

The Turned Heel Gate is a stylish five bar product.  These classic driveway gates are made, largely by hand, from a smooth finished softwood timber.  

This smooth finished gate, aka as a Devon Heel is made using mortise and tenon joints, which should help produce a longer service life.  

Our standard gates are made using pressure treated softwood, but they are also available to special order in Iroko or Sapele hardwood.    

Left or right hand hanging?

Our heel gates are normally made as left-hand hanging, but can be ordered as right hanging if required. To work out whether you need left hand, or right-hand hanging gates, then visualise standing outside the property looking inwards.  Whichever post the gate will be hinged from then dictates if it is left or right hand hanging. 

Please advise when ordering gates if any are being hung as a pair (that would need 1 left and 1 right) or whether they are being hung independently of one another.

Stocked sizes and bespoke gates

Turned heel gates are normally made to special order.  Standard sizes vary from 3’ to 12’, but bespoke sized gates can be made to the nearest inch.  Further details can be found on the individual product pages.
