What Is a Composite Gate?
Two materials.
One gate.
A composite gate combines a hand-forged steel or iron structural frame with infill panels — typically hardwood, oak, iroko, or modern composite boarding. The result is a gate that has the structural integrity and longevity of ironwork, with a visual warmth and solidity that a purely metal gate can't match.
They're increasingly popular for contemporary new builds, barn conversions and rural properties where a traditional spear-top iron gate would feel out of place — but where quality and durability are still the priority.
Every composite gate we make starts with a fully forged steel frame, hot-dip galvanised before the infill is fitted. That frame is what carries the gate's weight and gives it its life expectancy — the panels are the aesthetic choice.
